'charmap' codec can't decode input_test_2.txt

[b3ade]

Hi I installed and I try to run bifixer.py on tests folder and file input_test_2.txt
But I get charset error:

py bifixer.py ../tests/input_test_2.txt ../tests/input_test_2.ourput.txt es en

UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 260: character maps to <undefined>

Running on output_test_1.txt works fine.
Also trying to run tests/test_bifixer.py return all output files empty.

Hi @b3ade, I tried test_2 in a fresh installation of Bifixer and it works for me.

Which version of Unidecode do you have installed?

Hi again, we noticed that you are using Windows.
I changed the reading of the input file to force UTF-8, please reinstall Bifixer and let me know if that fixed your issue :)

[b3ade]

Great its working now, but running test_bifixer.py still return empty files. (make a change in monofixer.py also)

[mbanon]

Great!
Regarding the tests, how are you running it? Just running pytest in /bifixer/tests should work.

[b3ade]

I just run comand: py test_bifixer.py
My opinion is that here encoding is doing mess also but not sure because I don't get any error,
The script is executed but with empty output files. Strange.

Directly running python3 test_bifixer.py does also produces empty files for me. It's a script that is meant to be run by pytest (this is, just run pytestin the testssubdirectory and it will take care of running test_bifixer.py, comparing the produced output with the expected output, etc)

And yes, there is probably the encoding error as well.

Running that on Win is mission impossible I think.
py pytest
C:\Python38\python.exe: can't open file 'pytest': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
pytest
'pytest' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I run it on Ubuntu and its working fine, but thx for help anyway.

Ouch!
