#2886: v.import/r.import: UnicodeEncodeError when path contains special characters
----------------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: mlennert | Owner: grass-dev@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.0.4
Component: Default | Version: svn-trunk
Keywords: v.import r.import encoding | CPU: Unspecified
Platform: Unspecified |
----------------------------------------+-------------------------
Trying to importing a file that resides in a path with special characters
(accent in this case), I get the following errors.
In trunk:
{{{
> v.import

output=countries

In release70:

Correction: in release70 the below error is due to GISDBASE containing an
accent, not because of the file path. When GISDBASE does not contain an
accent, below import works, even if the path to the imported file contains
an accent.
