FR | mariadb = 'NoneType'

What is the problem you are experiencing?

After having testing PostgreSQL for a couple of days, I was to return to my MariaDB server, when I keep getting this error

Fatal Error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encoding'

How can we reproduce the problem?

To reproduce the problem:

install/upgrade PyFunceble python3.11 -m pip install -U -I --pre pyfunceble-dev

modify ~/.config/PyFunceble/.PyFunceble.overwrite.yaml

cli_testing:
  db_type: mariadb ( Same error if I gives mysql)

run pyfunceble -c --preload --all --execution --hierarchical -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mypdns/matrix/refs/heads/master/source/porn_filters/strict_filters/hosts.list or pyfunceble --database-type mariadb -c --preload --all --execution --hierarchical -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mypdns/matrix/refs/heads/master/source/porn_filters/strict_filters/hosts.list

Do you have a screenshot?

Additional context

This is only a issue on one of my virtual installs, which happens to be the one I tested with PostgreSQL, I have not seen this behavior anywhere else.... yet...

However, the one running on my desktop, refuses to generate any output files... Linux can be strange sometimes
