Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Unicode characters can cause UnicodeEncodeError anytime they are printed and the cli is executed from a subshell. More precisely every time python can't guess terminal's encoding. This causes troubles with localised strings.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
katello-cli-0.2.1-1


Steps to Reproduce:
For example:
1. katello environment create --name="žluťoučký_kůň" --prior Library --org ACME_Corporation
2. echo "$(kat environment list --org ACME_Corporation)"
3. see following error and the environment not being listed
error: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u017e' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) (more in the log file)

Actual results:
Error "'ascii' codec can't encode character"

Expected results:
Command should print localised strings normally.

Fixed in katello-cli-0.2.4-1

All string inputs are converted to unicode as soon as possible. If there's no encoding settings forced from outside, utf-8 is set as default for stderr and stdout.

One more update in katello-cli-0.2.5-1

Forgot to change spec file. It should by all finally fixed in katello-cli-0.2.6-1

QA Verified: 0.1.303-1.el6
