Issue #11303 has been updated by Jeff McCune. Status changed from Accepted to Closed
# Closed - Not a Bug # After some more investigation into this problem, Puppet is currently behaving as expected and this isn't actually a bug or 1.9 incompatibility. We haven't yet made the decision to switch the entire system to UTF-8. As a result, Puppet will honor whatever encoding your environment specifies with the LANG or LC_CTYPE environment variables. If you do not set these environment variables to match the encoding format of your Puppet manifests the parser validation error is expected because Puppet will default to expecting ASCII encoding. # Work Around # Please make sure you set LC_CTYPE or LANG to the encoding you're using in your puppet manifests. For parser validation, a wrapper script will help and can ensure your encodings match up to what you expect. Also of note, UTF-8 is backwards compatibile with ASCII so you may simply want to set UTF-8 in your environment. -Jeff ---------------------------------------- Bug #11303: Puppet should support UTF-8 comments in manifests https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11303 Author: Jeff McCune Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: Jeff McCune Category: utf8 Target version: 2.7.9 Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6 Keywords: utf8 comment manifest internationalization paying support Branch: # Overview # Upon investigating #10291 I realize that ticket describes two separate issues. The UTF-8 non breaking space issue will remain in that ticket. The unicode character in comments issue will be tracked in this ticket. The issue is that Puppet 2.7.6 with Ruby 1.9.2 _and_ unset LANG and LC_CTYPE environment variables will default to an encoding of ASCII-8BIT. This environment produces an error when parsing a manifest that contains UTF-8 characters in a comment. <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> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
