Bug #13619
closed
Document that resource file of Techniques are shared to nodes with UTF-8 Encoding *only* (breaks for other encoding)
Added by Nicolas CHARLES about 6 years ago.
Updated over 5 years ago.
Severity:
Major - prevents use of part of Rudder | no simple workaround
User visibility:
Getting started - demo | first install | Technique editor and level 1 Techniques
Effort required:
Very Small
Description
somehow, the Rudder-Agent.xml in the generated promises starts with ef bf bd ef bf bd BOM, while the original file starts with ff fe BOM
result is: file is corrupted.
BOM of original file was removed, as a workaround, in #13616, but we need to understand WHY it happened
Hypothesis: scala lib interpreting and adding the BOM, some side effect of #12471, or something else.
- Target version changed from 4.3-1.11 to 4.3-1.12
- Project changed from 78 to Rudder
- Subject changed from UTF-8 encoding BOM added to Rudder-Agent.xml file by rudder dsc plugin to Resource file of Techniques are shared to nodes with UTF-8 Encoding
- Category changed from System techniques to System techniques
- Target version changed from 4.3-1.12 to 4.3.5
- Category changed from System techniques to Web - Config management
- Target version changed from 4.3.5 to 4.3.6
- Target version changed from 4.3.6 to 4.3.7
Here, we need to either document that fact or add an "input encoding" and "output encoding" parameter for resource files.

- Priority changed from 0 to 90
So, the possibility to add file encoding for all templates is a long term new feature. In the meantime, we need to just clearly document the limitation (it should be ok for most use case, and workaroundable for all even if it supposes a very tedious step of transcoding on the node).
