'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u03bc' in position 10: character maps to <undefined>

@yzqzss After PR #57 the XML dump fails

$ dumpgenerator  --stdout-log-file log.txt  --failfast --xml --xmlrevisions --api https://sdiywiki.miraheze.org/w/api.php
Checking API... https://sdiywiki.miraheze.org/w/api.php
API is OK: https://sdiywiki.miraheze.org/w/api.php
Checking index.php... https://sdiywiki.miraheze.org/w/index.php
index.php is OK
No --path argument provided. Defaulting to:
  [working_directory]/[domain_prefix]-[date]-wikidump
Which expands to:
  ./sdiywikimirahezeorg_w-20230108-wikidump
--delay is the default value of 0.5
There will be a 0.5 second delay between HTTP calls in order to keep the server from timing you out.
If you know that this is unnecessary, you can manually specify '--delay 0.0'.

Good luck! Bye!

[yzqzss]

This problem is not caused by #57, I will check this tomorrow.

[yzqzss]

https://github.com/elsiehupp/wikiteam3/blob/98518297cc0ae09a58266b5acf6f040d99743d4d/wikiteam3/dumpgenerator/generator.py#L42

Replace it whith self.file = open(filename, 'w', encoding="utf-8"). If OK, I will open a PR.

This problem may only occur on windows, I can't test it.

[robkam]

It's still broken, sorry.

[robkam]

Also the log file looks a little different to stdout. Maybe revert the changes since PR #56 ?

Can you provide the .log file?

This is expected behavior, not a bug. Because currently tee() does nothing more than simply redirect the stdout to a file by using >.

[robkam]

line 42 changed to self.file = open(filename, 'w', encoding="utf-8")

[robkam]

It works without a problem on Kubuntu. It also writes a file Special:Version.html Windows chokes on the colon in the filename. This isn't a new problem, I've only just noticed it.

[robkam]

dumpgenerator --failfast --xml --xmlrevisions --api https://sdiywiki.miraheze.org/w/api.php works fine on Windows 10, Git Bash and Python 3.11.1 without--stdout-log-file log.txt - it gets past the character μ.

[yzqzss]

dumpgenerator --failfast --xml --xmlrevisions --api https://sdiywiki.miraheze.org/w/api.php works fine on Windows 10, Git Bash and Python 3.11.1 without--stdout-log-file log.txt - it gets past the character μ.

Special:Version.html still not created du to stupid NTFS, right?

[robkam]

Yes, it makes an empty file named Special

The following characters are not allowed in NTFS file names:

< (less than)
> (greater than)
: (colon)
" (double quote)
/ (forward slash)
\ (backslash)
| (vertical bar or pipe)
? (question mark)
* (asterisk)

[yzqzss]

NTFS: / \ : * " ? < > |

Most linux fs: /

Illegal characters in page titles (MediaWiki):
# < > [ ] | { }

Illegal characters in file names (MediaWiki): : / \

Remove the / and combine all limits to get this strange file name: \:*"?<>|#<>[]|{}boom.png, and after uploading it, MediaWiki changed it to File:--*"?---------boom.png.

http://group2.mediawiki.demo.save-web.org/mediawiki-1.39.1/index.php?title=File:--*"%3F---------boom.png

---

*"? still are illegal characters in the NTFS.

So, maybe it's not a good idea to use wikiteam to dump images on NTFS ...

[yzqzss]

Maybe we can rename Special:Version.html and convert all images filename from *?" to - as well, but I need to do more research to make sure the final dump can be imported properly by MediaWiki.

[robkam]

If I extract Special:Version.html from an archive NTFS renames it to Special_Version.html, or rename it to SpecialVersion.html.

[robkam]

There's some other problem, without trying to get File:--*"?---------boom.png.

[yzqzss]

There's some other problem, without trying to get File:--*"?---------boom.png.

I forgot to mention that this is caused by another bug in --xmlrevision, and currently wikiteam3 (which also exists in upstream) can't handle the revision being hidden/deleted perfectly. There is a simple patch that skips the whole page crawl when carwler see a hidden revision, but I didn't include the patch in the 0.5.0-alpha PR because it's not a perfect solution, and I'm working on fixing it.

[yzqzss]

Try this, no hidden reversion on the site:

http://group1.mediawiki.demo.save-web.org/mediawiki-1.27.7/index.php?title=File:-_*_%3F_%22_-_-_-.png

[robkam]

I wouldn't want to lose a whole page because of hidden revisions? My wikis have some hidden revisions.

-_*_%3F_%22_-_-_-.png is on the server as -_%2A_%3F_"_-_-_-.png and windows saves it as -_______-_-_-.png

[yzqzss]

I wouldn't want to lose a whole page because of hidden revisions? My wikis have some hidden revisions.

I did some tests, --xml (without --xmlrevisions) works fine with hidden revisions.

[robkam]

[yzqzss]

File naming involves many issues.

• MediaWiki determines which folder the file is stored in based on the md5 of the file name (this is the biggest problem, i.e. if we change the file name, the dumped image will be difficult to import losslessly by the MediaWiki Image Import CLI tool)
• Replacing special characters with _ runs the risk of duplicating names

Also, I found that wikiteam has problems with truncating long filenames.

Again, I will discus and fix these problems later.

[robkam]

I tried it out with a wiki with hidden revisions and can confirm dumpgenerator --failfast --xml --api URL/api.php dumps okay, only losing the hidden revisions dumpgenerator --failfast --xml --xmlrevisions --api URL/api.php fails with PageMissingError etc.

[robkam]

It now gets past where it previously failed on NTFS (over "Fairchild μA726").
