uncaught exception: bzr: ERROR: exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError:

This seems to be a bug in the diffstat plugin, possibly something to do with not supporting Unicode filenames.

diffstat doesn't seem to have a launchpad entry, so I can't re-assign it just yet, but I'll try to get in touch with Michael Ellerman who seems to maintain it.

I do encounter a similar problem when a file with a non-ascii character is present in the directory.

The attached zip contains the file triggering the error.

[Expired for Bazaar because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

Doesn't look like this should have been expired.

Thanks,

James

This should probably be assigned to the bzr-diffstat package in launchpad, which now exists.

I'll try to see if I can reproduce this soon.

I'm struggling to reproduce this due to an encoding error when attempting to bzr add the file in Lektuere.zip.

I've raised #243424 to get that problem solved so I can continue.

Hello,

today when I want to add some old project (book) under bzr, I've encountered this error.

Here is the trace:

*** Bazaar has encountered an internal error. This probably indicates a
    bug in Bazaar. You can help us fix it by filing a bug report at
        https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+filebug
    including this traceback and a description of the problem.

Considering it's reported quite some time ago, it would be nice to fix it before 2.4.

Sincerely,
Gour

It looks that same/similar thing is reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-submit/+bug/67973 ?

Sincerely,
Gour

Same problem here, during bzr init in some already started project
