[Buildbot-devel] 0.8.0 branch.. p4 syncing for triggered builds fails everytime, forced builds work..

[Chris AtLee]

Exactly which version of buildbot are you using?

A change was landed this week to handle some unicode encoding issues
on the slave.  I think this would have shown up in the 0.8.0 branch as
of http://github.com/djmitche/buildbot/commit/56fc5af81485c39fc2f374d371b69f31a9d0cc00

Most likely stdin isn't getting encoded in the same way as the command
is.  Looking at the P4 code, it looks like maybe one of your
parameters to P4 is unicode, and therefore the client_spec sent to the
p4 executable is a unicode object.
