Decode error - output not utf-8

[bbolzano]

Hello, and thank you for making such a great editor! I am currently testing Linux and Windows versions of ST2. When building (F7) a simple python script, ie.

Code: Select all

print("hello")

on Windows 7, I get this error message in the output window:

Code: Select all

[Decode error - output not utf-8][Finished]

On Ubuntu everything works as expected. Any help would be appreciated.

It's important that the output encoding of your program, and the encoding that the .sublime-build file specify match up. By default, the output encoding is assumed to be utf-8. This works for me with Python 2.6 on windows, perhaps Python 3 changes something in this area (and assuming you're using Python 3).

You can try adding an explicit encoding line to Packages/Python/Python.sublime-build on windows, and specifying "encoding" to be perhaps cp1252 or utf16 - the full list of available options is at http://docs.python.org/library/codecs.h ... -encodings

e.g:

Code: Select all

{
   "cmd": ["python", "-u", "$file"],
   "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
   "selector": "source.python",
   "encoding": "cp1252"
}

I have a similar problem (related to *this* same error).

I have a simple LaTeX project and I configured a build system to invoke pdflatex / latexmk which is working fine, everything compiles; however when the log file generated by the process contains non-ASCII characters I get the error "[Decode error - output not utf-8][Finished]". This is because, the encoding of the output file changes from ASCII to latin1.

I'm aware that Sublime cannot be made responsible for other programs output, but I could not configure pdflatex / latexmk to change its output encoding... so I'm here.

Is there a solution to this? (Specifying "encoding": "[cp1252|latin1|latin2|...]" in the build system definition does not help.)

Thanks in advance!

PS.: Is Sublime blog the right place to subscribe for receiving updates on new builds, RC's and stuff?

Idem for me with erlang on windows.

This PHP scripts also fails (saved with encoding: UFT-8):

Code: Select all

<?php
echo utf8_decode("æøå");
// Output: [Decode error - output not utf-8] [Finished in 0.1s]

This worked for me (Python) http://stackoverflow.com/a/14833803/985454
..but maybe it is common.
