Link containing apostrophe/single quote mark needs special handling
The gitit system as installed includes a Front Page with a link to the "Gitit User's Guide". This link is coded as "Gitit User's Guide" in the markdown, and it does not work: it takes you to a page-creation page, where the apostrophe in the title is displayed as a closing rounded single quote mark.
If you change the markdown code to "[Gitit User's Guide](Gitit User's Guide)", it all works fine, and the apostrophe in the page title is displayed as a straight single quote mark.
The former case should work correctly.
I found what might be a similar problem (will open another bug if it's not related, of course!): If I create a link thus within a page: Owners' Club … clicking on the link in order to create the new page and start to edit it produces an error: “Server error: git: recoverEncode: invalid argument (invalid character)”.
The link is https://server/gitit/Owners%E2%80%99%20Club
… which shows that the ' has been converted to a ’, making this look like the same bug.
This with gitit 0.9-1ubuntu1 of Ubuntu 12.04LTS.
I think I am experiencing a similar problem. The link generated contains a unicode ’ (Hex 2019) instead of a single quote in the URL. I'm using ed2's work around.
The error message is
Happstack 7.3.8
Something went wrong here
Internal server error
Everything has stopped
The error was "git: recoverEncode: invalid argument (invalid character)"
gitit version 0.10.5.1 on Ubuntu Trusty
I experience HTTP 500 errors with this message:
Happstack 7.3.7
Something went wrong here
Internal server error
Everything has stopped
The error was "git: recoverEncode: invalid argument (invalid character)"
This happens when:
- I try to visit a wiki link to another page with a German umlaut in its name.
- I upload a file and use a German umlaut in the description field.
The first one has already worked before, but doesn't anymore (I'm now on gitit v0.10.4 on Debian; not sure about the version that was in use before). That's actually how I created the pages with names containing umlauts in the first place.
Maybe it's not gitit itself, but one of its dependencies that broke and needs to be updated?
@jgm, thanks for the pointer!
Another change in between was that I run gitit now via supervisord.
The following line in my supervisord configuriation file to run gitit fixed the problem (setting the locale to de_DE.UTF-8, in my case):
[program:gitit]
…
environment = LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
