UnicodeDecodeError invalid start byte

[Volox]

Hi, i got this message unser windows:

Using node.js path on 'windows': C:/Program Files/nodejs/node.exe
Using jscs path on 'windows': C:/Program Files/nodejs/jscs
Unexpected error(<class 'UnicodeDecodeError'>): 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8a in position 41: invalid start byte
error: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8a in position 41: invalid start byte

My configuration is:

• iojs 1.6+
• jscs 1.12.0

Hi. Thanks for reporting. What does your jscsrc look like?

[Volox]

{
  "preset": "jquery",
  "validateIndentation": 2
}

Thanks for the details. Just confirming, are you able to use jscs on iojs 1.6 successfully outside of the plugin?

Could you supply a small snippet of code that reproduces the error?

Trying to rule out the environment, if possible.

[Volox]

Yes, it works outside. I just tried to run the formatter on a file (the same used to test jscs outside the plugin) and got this error.

Hi,

I am using [email protected]

I am developing in a remote located project (using samba)

When I try to run the Sublime JSCSFormatter directly in the remote files, I got this message also:

Using node.js path on 'windows': node.exe
Using jscs path on 'windows': %APPDATA%/npm/node_modules/jscs/bin/jscs
Using configuration from C:/Users/vmlazaro/Documents/jscs_test/.jscsrc
Unexpected error(<class 'UnicodeDecodeError'>): 'utf-8' "codec can't decode byte 0xa2 in position 98: invalid start byte"
error: 'utf-8' "codec can't decode byte 0xa2 in position 98: invalid start byte"

On the other hand, if I move the project to my computer and I run it locally, the plugin do it perfectly.

Do you know how I can solve this problem?

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting! Seems like there's a file that has a non utf8 file encoding. Maybe the OS of the remote server encodes the file differently (might be a windows box)?

A possible solution:

We could swap the encode/decode formats based on the OS: windows-1252 (on windows) and utf8 on mac/linux. That would happen in this region: https://github.com/TheSavior/SublimeJSCSFormatter/blob/master/JSCS-Formatter.py#L147

Mind trying that modification out locally and seeing if it works? Would be hard for us to recreate your scenario otherwise.
