[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-9980) test_eat_glass in cqlsh_tests fails on windows

["Paulo Motta (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9980?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14660223#comment-14660223 ] 

Paulo Motta commented on CASSANDRA-9980:
----------------------------------------

There were two problems here:
# The test used a date before 1970, so it was hitting [CASSANDRA-10000|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10000]. After that is merged, this problem will be fixed.
# Default system encoding for English Windows is *not* utf-8, differently from Linux, so that's why the strange characters were not being printed correctly in the terminal. This [dtest PR|https://github.com/riptano/cassandra-dtest/pull/443] uses the new cqlsh option {{--encoding}} (provided by [CASSANDRA-10004|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10000]) to enforce utf-8 during this test.

The code excerpt below shows the default encoding for English Windows systems:
{noformat}
C:\> python -c 'import locale; print locale.getpreferredencoding()'
cp1252
{noformat}

> The cqlsh dtest {{cqlsh_tests.TestCqlsh.test_eat_glass}} is failing on windows with 2.2-head. It has been failing for a very long time. We've looked into it before, but haven't figured it out. Cqlsh does not return anything on the following query:
> {code}
> self.assertEquals(output.count('Можам да јадам стакло, а не ме штета.'), 16)
> {code}
