UnicodeEncodeError in zip.write()

[athewsey]

I'm attempting to get this sample (which builds a container image from notebook in the "Define a SageMaker Model Monitor schedule" section) running in SageMaker Studio, using the new CLI.

Essentially there is a ./docker/ folder next to my notebook containing just a Dockerfile and evaluation.py script.

However when I run:

!sm-docker build ./docker --file ./docker/Dockerfile --repository sagemaker-processing-container:latest

(Or same without specifying the --file or --repository options, or omitting the :latest tag) I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/conda/lib/python3.6/zipfile.py", line 432, in _encodeFilenameFlags
    return self.filename.encode('ascii'), self.flag_bits
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 11-31: ordinal not in range(128)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    sys.exit(main())

UnicodeEncodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't encode characters in position 11-31: surrogates not allowed

It's a weird error so I could well be doing something stupid - but am wondering if there's an implicitly assumed encoding somewhere which is clashing with this kernel's environment?

I don't have any special chars in filenames, and am running Studio kernel Python 3 (PyTorch CPU Optimized).

Any ideas or insights greatly appreciated!

Full steps to reproduce

(From the referenced public sample above)

• Add this package to the set of pip installs at the top
• Replace the ! unzip ... command with something like the following (since Studio kernels don't have unzip installed by default)

import zipfile
with zipfile.ZipFile('GTSRB_Final_Test_Images.zip', 'r') as zip_ref:
    print('Unzipping...')
    zip_ref.extractall()

• Split the cell containing # Create ECR repository and push docker image: Execute just the first (Python) half and run the above sm-docker command instead of the sample's !docker build ... line.
