Description Joonas Kylmälä 2021-05-04 08:32:16 UTC
If trying to install Koha with pl-PL language it doesn't work due to double encoding error in C4/Installer.pm:

$ koha-mysql kohadev < installer/data/mysql/kohastructure.sql
$ restart_all
$ ./translate update pl-PL
$ ./translate install pl-PL
$ restart_all
 --> Go to installer page and select pl-PL as installer language, click through it and notice it gives error:

> Cannot decode string with wide characters at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24/Encode.pm line 202

In installer the output of two calls YAML::XS::LoadFile is still decoded another time even though according to YAML::XS documentation the call to Load already decodes it. This causes the above error to happen in the MARC21 installation step.
Comment 1 Jonathan Druart 2021-05-04 09:34:03 UTC
Caused by bug 22824 I assume.
Comment 2 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2021-05-05 00:00:37 UTC
hi :)
Can't reproduce. Any hint ? I retried in case I did something different when testing bug 27623

The only thing I "improvised" was before the 1st step:
echo "DROP DATABASE koha_kohadev; CREATE DATABASE koha_kohadev;" | koha-mysql kohadev ; restart_all

Which is necessary right?

What is the use of translate update in this case?

The encoding issue is coming from there.

Joonas, any news on this?

Bug 28281: Remove double decoding when importing installation data

The YAML::XS::Load and YAML::XS::LoadFile functions already decode the
YAML to Perl objects/strings, therefore decoding the output yet
another time is not needed and causes an error to happen.

To test:

1. Go through the following steps and notice without this patch the
error happens and with this patch it doesn't:

$ koha-mysql kohadev < installer/data/mysql/kohastructure.sql
$ restart_all
$ ./translate update pl-PL
$ ./translate install pl-PL
$ restart_all
 --> Go to the Koha web installer page and select pl-PL as the installer
 language, click through it and notice it gives following error at the
 MARC21 step:

 Cannot decode string with wide characters at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24/Encode.pm line 202

I have the fix only, attached it now but no tests yet. I'd gladly welcome help there or if you can wait probably will be able to make it in the coming days.

No idea why you don't get it. Maybe for some reason you are using some other translation files compared to me?

Nick, in case you are QA'ing this right now please check out also the bug 28291. Depending which translation data you have already you might need it.
