[jira] [Commented] (RAT-81) MalformedInputException thrown when RAT tries reading file

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-81?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14135430#comment-14135430 ] 

Sebb commented on RAT-81:
-------------------------

Also I'm not sure that the test files do have any errors in them

>                 Key: RAT-81
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-81
>             Project: Apache Rat
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: engine
>    Affects Versions: 0.6, 0.7
>         Environment: Linux (Ubuntu) on x86, running with "default" file encoding set to UTF-8
>            Reporter: Marshall Schor
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 0.8

> To reproduce, set the platform default locale to something that indicates UTF-8 file encoding.
> This causes code in (for example) org.apache.rat.document.impl.FileDocument which return FileReader to set up RAT to use a reader which is using the platform default character encoding (in this case UTF-8).
> If the file being processed is not encoded in this , it is possible that the reader will read some data which is "invalid" UTF-8 encodings, which causes the reader to throw a MalformedInputException error.
> One case we found:
> The file being examined had invalid UTF-8 encodings.  First, Rat ran the BinaryGuesser - but that returned false because it attempted to read the first 100 or so chars, and got a "MalformedInputException" instead, so the try/catch block just ended up returning "false" (not binary).  Then the HeaderChecker tried to read the file to check the header, and got this same exception - but this time, it made RAT fail.

> Work-around: mark these files for explicit exclusion.
> Fix: change the binaryguesser to read the files in binary (not assuming any character coding) and operate with that data.
