Can't generate xml report if some source file's path has unicode characters · Issue #573 · nedbat/coveragepy (original) (raw)

Originally reported by Dongmin Kim (Bitbucket: kim135797531, GitHub: kim135797531)

If source file's path has any unicode characters in it, the dump into the xml will fail on Python 2.

#!bash
~/temp/$ coverage xml # No error.
~/temp/테스트/$ coverage xml # Error.

#!python

/usr/lib/python2.7/genericpath.py:71: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xed in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Line 168 in coverage/xmlreport.py makes this exception. It seems to problem of unicode handling issue with Python 2.

Anyway I could fix this problem by casting dirname to unicode. This fix is a kind of quick hack, so I hope this suggestion helps to find the root cause of this problem.

#!python
        xlines = self.xml_out.createElement("lines")
        xclass.appendChild(xlines)

        # Fix for unicode error.
        if env.PY2:
            dirname = unicode(dirname)
        
        xclass.setAttribute("name", os.path.relpath(rel_name, dirname))
        xclass.setAttribute("filename", fr.relative_filename().replace("\\", "/"))
        xclass.setAttribute("complexity", "0")
