UnicodeEncodeError

[liartist]

As I tried to execute fakenet.exe or fakenet.py, UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 33-34: ordinal not in range(128) error came out. I think it's about unicode and ASCII encoding error. Since it's not about single source code, I couldn't use 'encoding:utf-8' method.

Here's my environment VirtualBox 6.0.8 Windows 7 32bit Python 2.7.16 I installed every requirements fakenet needs, so that would not be a problem.

@liartist Thank you for using and supporting Fakenet-NG. Do you mind providing the complete stack trace to help us figure out where things fail?

Thanks,

[liartist]

Thank you for the fast support! I tried 2 versions of fakenet, the standalone (1.4.3) and python build (1.4.9) version. Here's 2 stack traces.

fakenet 1.4.3

Thank you!

This error is cause by Character code. In my case, my ethernet adapter is not English. I used Japanese name and same Error.But I changed "Ethernet0" taht was no error.

[samrath-sudesh-acharya]

@tinajn can you assign me this issue?

[samrath-sudesh-acharya]

@tinajn I don't think this problem exists anymore as every adapter name is of the type LPWSTR ( It is a pointer to a null-terminated string of 16-bit Unicode characters)

   IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES._fields_ = [
   ...
   ("FriendlyName",  LPWSTR),
   ...
  ]

Some Examples:

@samrath-sudesh-acharya Thanks for testing this out! I have tested on my end and it appears to have been an issue with the way subprocess.check_call() handled non-ASCII characters in Python 2.

As @samrath-sudesh-acharya mentioned this issue is not observed anymore as we have ported to Python 3. @liartist could you test it out and close the issue?

[tinajn]

Closing this issue.
