UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode

[AvnerCohen]

Running on Mac 10.8.1, A fresh install of RubyTest with Sublime Text 2 (Build 2217), I'm getting the following:

Running rspec spec/models/user_spec.rb -l10 Traceback (most recent call last): File "./sublimeplugin.py", line 337, in run File "./exec.py", line 154, in run File "./exec.py", line 45, in init UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 60: ordinal not in range(128) reloading /Users/xxx/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/User/RubyTest.last-run

Any suggestions on what to check next?

Thanks.

It's something to do with environment variables that are set, and sublime trying to reinterpret it.

Is there some environment variable you have set that has unicode in it?

[gja]

Sorry, didn't mean to close the issue

[AvnerCohen]

Thanks for the reply. There could be something like that, not sure. Is there a way for me to locally add a debug statements to pin point what is causing this or at least isolate it somehow?

[gja]

Press control-` to get the test console. And type the following:

import os; os.environ

What is the output from that

@gja Many thanks for your help! The was what I needed to find the problem I'm using Zack Holmans .dotfiles and you can see in the following script: https://github.com/holman/dotfiles/blob/master/zsh/prompt.zsh

The set of:

export PROMPT=$'\n$(rb_prompt) in $(directory_name) $(git_dirty)$(need_push)\n› '

Which is the issue here.

Not sure if this should be fixed in RubyTest or Sublime core, locally I will of course remove the newline char. Thanks again. Let me know if you need anything further.

[gja]

This is surely an issue in Sublime Core. Does anyone know how to reach the author of sublime?

I've bumped an issue with Sublime Core http://sublimetext.userecho.com/topic/120265-non-ascii-character-bug-in-build-system-using-shell-true/?comment_form_activate=true

[AvnerCohen]

Cool. In any case, this probably shouldn't remain open, many thanks for the help!

Hey,

FYI I was having the same problem and I solved it using this trick: http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8512

[AvnerCohen]

Cool! worked for me.

I wonder why not more people are facing it, How rare could the combination of multiline prompt + RubyTest be?

[vladipus]

Modifing Packages/Default/exec.py:44 as follows may help:

        for k, v in proc_env.iteritems():
            path_vars = os.path.expandvars(v)
            if isinstance(path_vars, unicode):
                path_vars = path_vars.encode(sys.getfilesystemencoding())
            proc_env[k] = path_vars

[gja]

Actually, this should be open till upstream fixes it

[wikichen]

:+1: for @vladipus's comment (the fix will have to do for now)

[amiel]

@vladipus's hack worked for me

[jareddbc]

10 months and this still isn't fixed? :(

[gja]

@jareddbc Sorry, this isn't in our control. This is a bug in Sublime Text :-(. We've raised issues with the developer, but it's been ignored for the longest time. See my earlier comment.

[cartazio]

how can this be patched by myself in my mac?

[gja]

@cartazio see the patch linked to by @Eventect

[cartazio]

i just pull requested a better patch :)
