My R version is 4.3.1 and I'm not sure why this problem happened.

I solved this problem with the guidance in readme. So sorry to bother you.

This setting worked well but it conflicts with my zip.exe. After checking the Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support, I will see some garbage characters of file name in my zip file. So I just wonder if there is any otrher solution to deal with this problem.

What version of radian are you using?

What version of radian are you using?

I'm so sorry for fogetting to provide necessary infomation:

C:\Users\lm>radian --version
radian version: 0.6.7
r executable: D:\R\R-4.3.1\bin\R
r version: 4.3.1
python executable: C:\Users\lm\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe 
python version: 3.10.2

And I have solved this problem by adding a new .radian_profile in the %USERPROFILE% to avoid stepping into the elif statement in rutils.py. I think this error happened because the return vallue of the user_path(".radian_profile") contained unicode characters(I changed my defalut saving path). So thankful for your reply.❤️❤️

Are you sure you meet the same problem with me? If so, solutions may be:

• Change the defalult locale in your computer just as the readme does. Changing the system locale or checking the Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support can solve this problem(My original locale is simplified Chinese).
• adding a new .radian_profile in the %USERPROFILE% to avoid stepping into the elif statement in rutils.py

Um, I believe that for some reason, user_path(".radian_profile") or base::path.expand("~") has returned a non-utf8 string despite utf-8 locale should have set earlier.

I will be great if you could test if rutils.set_locale is doing its job (unless we have LC_CTYPE set?).
