Problem
The metadata for Skopos has
??
in the abstract where non-ASCII characters are provided by the GitHub API:Notably, this does not happen for me locally.
Cause
The
LANG
environment variable is not set in the Inflator's container, so unicode characters are not handled properly. I have it set toen_US.utf-8
, the latter part of which enables unicode.Changes
Now our
Dockerfile
s setLANG
toC.utf-8
to enable unicode support. This is also the value used in the bot's Python-based containers. This causes UTF-8 strings from the GitHub API to be faithfully recorded into the metadata.Fixes #4288.
