Liquid Exception: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII when running the example

[renefs]

Hi,

Following all the steps of the README, if I try to run the example I always get the same:

➜  example git:(master) bundle exec jekyll serve

  Liquid Exception: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII in /_layouts/default.html
jekyll 3.3.1 | Error:  invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

I tried to remove the non-english chars from the spanish and italian translations, but I am still getting this error.

Hi, we also encounter this error, it's very critical because with this error its impossible to use the plugin.

Here the output we have.

So how to fix this problem ?

Thanks

Responding to my own question finally 😄, their are already solutions to this problem here https://github.com/imathis/octopress/issues/413 (and more precisly here https://github.com/imathis/octopress/issues/413#issuecomment-11322912).

In my case I solved it using the following command : chcp 65001.

Hope this helps.

It's well documented here: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/windows/ under "Encoding" section

I wonder why you post it here, there's nothing related to this plugin

@kleuter thanks a lot for this precision https://jekyllrb.com/docs/windows/#encoding !

I wonder why you post it here, there's nothing related to this plugin

This is because I though my problem was the same as @renefs.

But your right perhaps this is note the same because the error messages are not exactly identic.

On one side we have this error message.

Liquid Exception: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII in /_layouts/default.html

And on the other side this one.

Liquid Exception: incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and CP850 in /_layouts/default.html
