Description Eduard Barrera 2015-05-04 08:50:33 UTC 
When openstack produces some non-ASCII output, and this output is redirected, the command considers the output ans non ASCII and returns the corresponding error, for example:
 
# openstack network list

# openstack network list| grep test
ERROR: openstack 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf6' in position 618: ordinal not in range(128)
 
 
 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  OSP 6
 
How reproducible:
I was able to reporduce it in my env with neutron. I tried also with cinder but I dont get the error
 
Steps to Reproduce:
1. # openstack network list
2. # openstack network list | grep test

'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf6' in position 376: ordinal not in range(128)
 


Actual results:
Error when we pipe the output of neutron net-show to another command
 
 
Expected results:
The output should be passed correctly to other processes without having errors


 
Additional info:
python-openstackclient-1.0.1-1.el7ost.noarch

i'm hitting this same problem:

Comment 6 Ivan Chavero 2015-08-03 17:09:57 UTC 
This bug has been fixed upstream: https://github.com/openstack/cliff/blob/master/cliff/formatters/commaseparated.py#L4
Comment 8 Felipe Alfaro Solana 2016-03-18 12:34:20 UTC 
How many times are we going to hit non-ASCII bugs in OpenStack? ;-)
We reported similar errors back in Havana.
Comment 9 Felipe Alfaro Solana 2016-03-18 12:36:51 UTC 
Also, the proposed fix in https://github.com/openstack/cliff/blob/master/cliff/formatters/commaseparated.py seems to be related to CSV. Doesn't OpenStack use JSON internally? How does a fix to CSV formatter solve the issue?
Comment 10 Felipe Alfaro Solana 2016-04-11 12:02:59 UTC 
For the record, we are hitting the same bug here with Red Hat OpenStack 7.3. So clearly, something else is going on here.
Comment 16 Beth White 2018-07-18 16:58:24 UTC 
Fix is in OSP10. Won't fix for OSP7 at this point due to EOL.
