Hi,
today I got a problem when calling ``make linkcheck`` inside of a sphinx
project. Apparently, there is a link inside the project which contains the
German Umlaut 'Ü' ('\xdc'). When reaching this URL, the linkcheck-builder raises
an Error and stops working:
.. code-block:: sh
$ make linkcheck
sphinx-build -b linkcheck -d _build/doctrees -q . _build/linkcheck
Exception in thread Thread-4:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/home/waldgeist/data/homepage/sphinx/sphinx/builders/linkcheck.py", line 166,
in check
req_url.encode('ascii')
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xdc' in
position 55: ordinal not in range(128)
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):

'/').decode('ascii')

make: *** [linkcheck] Fehler 1
I'm using the Python3 version of Sphinx; the error occurs as well with my old
version 1.3.1 as with the current stable version 1.3.7.
In ``linkcheck.py`` there's the following part of code:
.. code-block:: python
# handle non-ASCII URIs
try:
req_url.encode('ascii')
except UnicodeError:
req_url = encode_uri(req_url)
Obviously, "UnicodeError" should be replaced with "UnicodeEncodeError" there.
But the problem still keeps the same. Only changing ``req_url.encode('ascii')``
to ``req_url.encode('utf-8')`` helps as a workaround, but then of course the
checks of all URLs containing German Umlaute fail.
Is there a better way to fix this problem?
Greetings,
Bernhard
