[Buildbot-devel] UnicodeDecodeError in webfrontend

[Spielmann, Christoph]

Hi,

Since today (1. März in german speaking countries) the BuildBot-webfrontend seems to have a hard time parsing time-/date-strings. I regularily get an exception with the following stacktrace:

2013-03-01 13:23:44+0100 [HTTPChannel,3,192.168.2.166] Unhandled Error
        Traceback (most recent call last):

          File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/buildbot/status/web/base.py", line 209, in getContext
            time.localtime(util.now()))),
        exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 7: ordinal not in range(128)

If i restart the master it works for some time but sooner or later i receive the exception again. I tried to fix it with the following patch:

--- base.py.orig        2013-03-01 12:24:14.063879294 +0100

                     version = version,

                     metatags = [],
                     pageTitle = self.getPageTitle(request),

But this didn't help. Anybody else experiencing the same issue?

Thanks in advance,

Christoph
