Description David Kutálek 2010-05-07 14:57:08 UTC
Description of problem:

In one of my rhts tests, beakerlib tracebacks when using unusual locale in test.
Specifically, what fails is journalling.py.

RHTS test: /CoreOS/sos/Regression/bz462824-sosreport-chkconfig-test-in-cluster-plugin-fails

locale: LC_ALL=bokmål

Relevant output of test with tracebacks:

Step 4
:: [   PASS   ] :: Creating tmp file
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/beakerlib//python/journalling.py", line 451, in <module>
    addTest(options.testid, options.message, result)
  File "/usr/lib/beakerlib//python/journalling.py", line 365, in addTest
    msg.setAttribute("message", unicode(message,'utf-8').translate(xmlTrans))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 47-49: invalid data
:: [   PASS   ] :: File /tmp/sosreport-timothy-20100507155508-ef0f.tar.xz should exist
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/beakerlib//python/journalling.py", line 451, in <module>
    addTest(options.testid, options.message, result)
  File "/usr/lib/beakerlib//python/journalling.py", line 365, in addTest
    msg.setAttribute("message", unicode(message,'utf-8').translate(xmlTrans))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 39-41: invalid data



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

beaker-lib-0.4.95-0.1271345738.beaker0_4.el5.noarch

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run /CoreOS/sos/Regression/bz462824-sosreport-chkconfig-test-in-cluster-plugin-fails in RHTS
2. see OUTPUT.log for tracebacks
  
Actual results:

Locale-related tracebacks of journalling.py

Expected results:

No tracebacks.

Comment 1 Petr Muller 2010-10-20 12:00:11 UTC
Sorry for the lag. Could you try if it still breaks with newish beakerlib? If so, please move this to ASSIGNED, I'll investigate.

Comment 2 David Kutálek 2010-10-20 12:17:40 UTC
Unfortunately still breaks with beakerlib-1.3-4.el6.noarch:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/beakerlib-journalling", line 474, in <module>
    addTest(options.testid, options.message, result)
  File "/usr/bin/beakerlib-journalling", line 388, in addTest
    msg.setAttribute("message", unicode(message,'utf-8').translate(xmlTrans))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 47-49: invalid data

(line numbers are different now with this version).

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 19:56:41 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 4 Petr Muller 2013-04-09 16:17:17 UTC
I strongly believe this was fixed in the recent unicode robustification of the journal (not yet in Beaker).

Comment 6 David Kutálek 2013-04-10 10:23:35 UTC
When tested with latest git version I got:

Step 99 - 'bokm�l'
:: [   PASS   ] :: Creating tmp file
:: [   PASS   ] :: Creating cluster sosreport tarball (locale bokm�l )
:: [   PASS   ] :: File /tmp/sosreport-dhcp-25-51-20130410121822-9b7c.tar.xz should exist
:: [   PASS   ] :: Removing sosreport tarball (locale bokm�l)

So no crash, great! Not sure why å letter is crippled, though.

Comment 7 David Kutálek 2013-04-10 10:30:59 UTC
So it seems crippled letter is produced by locale -a, so not beakerlib issue. Simpler reproducer passes:

$ . /usr/lib/beakerlib/beakerlib.sh 
$ rlJournalStart
$ rlLog "å"
:: [12:25:54] ::  å
$ rlRun "true" 0 "å"

:: [   FAIL   ] :: TEST BUG: Assertion not in phase
:: [   PASS   ] :: å
