robotframework-stacktrace UnicodeEncodeError

We have multibyte chars in our test cases like _平 ^~ŸÁ&. In log files we have been seeing error-

Calling method 'end_keyword' of listener 'RobotStackTracer' failed: UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u5e73' in position 659: character maps to <undefined>

I don't see any major effect of this though, but since it is logged in our every run thought of reporting.

Can you give me a reproducible example?

Please also specify the environment: Windows Version: Python Version: Which Terminal are you using?

Same error appears with an other user. Still no possibility to reproduce for me

This happens on windows server. We execute our runs from TeamCity so the terminal should be windows command prompt. I will check if I can create a dummy test to reproduce this and will post soon.

this is from slack

If you change line 127 in init.py of RobotStackTracer to print(console_encode("\n".join(self._create_stacktrace_text()))) and change line 20 to from robot.utils import cut_long_message, console_encode Then you have a fix

You will not see the ✖️ character but you will get a ?
