Description of problem: After bug 841488 was fixed in 2.2 release, qpid-stat tool is capable of displaying entities with non-ASCII (UTF-8) names, for example: [root@lzhaldyb-rhel64x ~]# qpid-config add queue тест [root@lzhaldyb-rhel64x ~]# qpid-stat -q Queues queue dur autoDel excl msg msgIn msgOut bytes bytesIn bytesOut cons bind ========================================================================================================================= 1a304d39-60c0-4bef-b29b-7afeb4ad2cd2:0.0 Y Y 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 тест However, putting the qpid-stat output through pipe results in the following error: [root@lzhaldyb-rhel64x ~]# qpid-stat -q | cat Queues queue dur autoDel excl msg msgIn msgOut bytes bytesIn bytesOut cons bind ========================================================================================================================= b1156582-a01c-485a-aded-1062aa5954b9:0.0 Y Y 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 Failed: UnicodeEncodeError - 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 2-5: ordinal not in range(128) This makes impossible parsing of qpid-stat provided information on queues and exchanges in bash scripts or using grep to select the entity we are currently interested in. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qpid-tools-0.22-2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a queue or an exchange with non-ASCII characters in the name. 2. Get its statistics using qpid-stat tool. 3. Redirect qpid-stat output to a pipe or an ordinary file. Actual results: UnicodeEncodeError in the resulting output. Expected results: No encode errors. Additional info: qpid-config tools does not suffer from this particular problem: [root@lzhaldyb-rhel64x ~]# qpid-config queues | cat Queue Name Attributes ================================================================= 589227ec-0446-4b81-ada0-acfbe53342cd:0.0 auto-del excl тест [root@lzhaldyb-rhel64x ~]# echo $? 0 The stable (2.3) version behavior is exactly the same, so this is not a regression.
