Problem with Unicode in filename

[anonymous]

Hi, I'm using the newest version of the plugin for a 0.10.4 Trac install. I suffered an unicode problem - which resulted in the following syslog entry:

Jun 24 09:51:20 projects Trac[main] ERROR: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 9: ordinal not in range(128) Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/trac/web/main.py", line 406,

I was able to fix the problem with the attached patch.

Patch to solve Unicode error

[olaf.meeuwissen@…]

Facing the same problem here where people would like to use Japanese filenames.

First off, the patch seems to be reversed. There is no to_unicode in 0.10.4. Nor in 0.11.1, 0.11.5 or 0.11.7.

Second, removing the offending file(s) from the environments htdocs directory makes the Admin section usable again.

Third, when attaching the same file to a wiki page, all is well. This led me to check what attaching does differently. Well, it stores the file in a URL-encoded name using unicode_quote() and unicode_unquote() to switch between (user-visible) filenames and (file-system) paths.

Considering how various file systems may mangle, munch and otherwise mutilate Unicode paths, I would say the plugin needs a fix, not Trac proper. For inspiration, see ​trac:browser:trunk/trac/attachment.py.

Possibly identical to #7436.

Looks the same. Closing this one because the report in #7436 is better and more current.
