Issue #10291 has been updated by Jeff McCune.
Subject changed from UTF8 non-breaking space in a manifest breaks the parser to
Puppet manifests should fully support UTF-8 character encoding
# Expanding the subject #
I'm going to expand the scope on this because it's not only non-breaking spaces
that cause problems. Another support customer reports the following issue:
<pre>
$ cat test.pp
class test {
# sysadmin´s
}
$ od -c test.pp
0000000 c l a s s t e s t { \n
0000020 # s y s a d m i n 302 264 s \n }
0000040 \n
0000041
$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
$ puppet parser validate test.pp
$ unset LANG
$ puppet parser validate test.pp
err: Could not parse for environment production: invalid byte sequence in
US-ASCII at /tmp/test.pp:1
err: Try 'puppet help parser validate' for usage
</pre>
Our parser does not deal with non breaking spaces and UTF-8 characters in
comments at the least.
I'm debating proposing we should switch the entire Puppet source code base to
UTF-8 encoding as well which will be a 3rd ticket...

Bug #10291: Puppet manifests should fully support UTF-8 character encoding
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10291
Author: Oliver Hookins
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Jeff McCune
Category: ruby19
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.7
Keywords:
Branch:
<code>
err: Could not parse for environment production: Could not match Yum::Repo at
/home/ohookins/svn/redacted/repo.pp:4
</code>
The actual code is unremarkable, but the problem is here:
<code>
00000020 20 7b 0a 20 c2 a0 59 75 6d 3a 3a 52 65 70 6f 20 | {. ..Yum::Repo |
00000030 7b 0a 20 c2 a0 c2 a0 c2 a0 6d 65 74 61 64 61 74 |{. ......metadat|
</code>
Somehow we've ended up with a UTF8 "nbsp" in our manifest (the 0xc2a0). Sure, I
can just remove these characters but it suggests to me that perhaps the Unicode
support in the parser is incomplete, which is a larger problem for
internationalisation.
