Description deadpixel89 2011-08-22 17:00:04 UTC

Hello,

my Netbeans Mercurial seems to try to decode my commit message as ascii which fails when using special characters like äöü etc.

The output in the mercurial output window is as follows:
Command: [hg, commit, --repository, /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/PePa, --cwd, /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/PePa, --user, webdev@Deadpixels-MacBook.local, --logfile, /var/folders/DM/DMFrQOA5FyO+G5kLuy0AzE+++TQ/-Tmp-/hgcommit6468303120798800182.hgm, js/jquery.tooltip.js, css/ui-lightness/images/ui-bg_glass_100_f6f6f6_1x400.png, css/ui-darkness/images/ui-icons_222222_256x240.png, .hgignore, css/ui-darkness/images/ui-bg_glass_20_555555_1x400.png, js/lib/jquery.js, js/jquery-tooltip/demo/bg.gif, js/jquery-tooltip/jquery.tooltip.css, css/ui-lightness/images/ui-bg_diagonals-thick_18_b81900_40x40.png, css/ui-darkness/images/ui-bg_flat_50_5c5c5c_40x100.png, css/ui-darkness/images/ui-icons_4b8e0b_256x240.png, css/ui-lightness/images/ui-icons_228ef1_256x240.png........]

Output: [transaction abort!, rollback completed, abort: decoding near '.2011 Aufräumaktion ': 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x8a in position 29: ordinal not in range(128)!]

Probably a duplicate of bug #198439. If the IDE runs with a different locale than should be used in mercurial, please run the IDE with the following switch:
-J-Dmercurial.encoding=utf-8
If this does not help, attach the full message.log

Comment 2 deadpixel89 2011-08-23 07:08:54 UTC

This works well. Thank you very much.
But why does NetBeans start with a different locale?
My $LANG says de_DE.UTF-8 - shouldn't this be used by NetBeans?
Is there a way to make NetBeans automatically use the right locale, so i just need to klick the icon? (i don't like closing the terminal app and seeing netbeans is closing with it ;) )

Comment 3 Ondrej Vrabec 2011-08-23 07:15:36 UTC

I don't know, i don't use MAC. I just know from previous reports that although you normally have a certain locale configured in shell, NetBeans started from Desktop may occasionally run with a different one.

okay thank you anyway :) hopefully it will be fixed or workarounded in future versions ;)
