Issue #10291 has been updated by Jeff McCune. Subject changed from Puppet manifests should fully support UTF-8 character encoding to Puppet manifests fail when UTF-8 non-breaking space (0xc2a0) is used as whitespace Status changed from Accepted to Needs More Information Assignee changed from Jeff McCune to Oliver Hookins
# Tightening the scope # After some investigating it's clear the non-breaking space issue Oliver reported is distinctly different than the apostrophe in a comment issue Marcin reported. As a result, I've filed #11303 to track the comment issue and am tightening the scope on this ticket back to the non-breaking space. Oliver, sorry but I'm also putting this back into our backlog since it's a very different problem. I suspect whitespace is whitespace (/\s/) in our parser. Are you looking for a better error message, or do you expect Puppet to treat the 0xc2a0 byte sequence as whitespace as well? -Jeff ---------------------------------------- Bug #10291: Puppet manifests fail when UTF-8 non-breaking space (0xc2a0) is used as whitespace https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10291 Author: Oliver Hookins Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Oliver Hookins 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. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
