What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a file with a name that is not a legal sequence under the system
preferred filename encoding (Usually utf8) You can create an illegal utf8
filename with this commmand: python -c "open('illegal\xa0\xa1', 'w')"
2. Import the file in boar
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The file should be imported into boar, alternatively a nice error message
explaining the situation should be printed. Instead, an assertion error is
raised.
This problem is caused by filenames that contain sequences that are not valid
encodings. This can happen when moving files between platforms, if the files
has been created with a different encoding than what is used on the platform
where boar tries to import the file. Boar cannot know how such filenames should
be interpreted, but it should handle the situation gracefully.
