27.1; windows mangles encoding on command line |
|
Date: |
Mon, 03 Oct 2022 22:18:35 -0300 |
I run emacs -Q. I open eshell. Then I try to use fossil (which is a
version control system like git) and try to put accented letters on the
commit message. No choice of encoding seems to avoid the mangling.
c:/my/path $ alias fs 'fossil $*'
c:/my/path $ echo kkk >> encoding.txt
c:/my/path $ fs changes
EDITED encoding.txt
c:/my/path $ (print default-process-coding-system)
(undecided-dos . undecided-unix)
c:/my/path $ (or buffer-file-coding-system "it is nil")
it is nil
c:/my/path $ fs commit -m 'Naiveté'
[...]

Commit message has been mangled. I then tried to set the ESHELL buffer
to utf-8 to no avail. Eli Zaretskii kindly helped me to investigate
this in the help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org maillist. First message was
<86wn9jd3sw.fsf@protonmail.com>
with subject
on ESHELL, utf-8 and fossil command-line commit message

> Who is mangling my command-line arguments and why? Thank you!
You cannot use UTF-8 for encoding command-line arguments of
subprocesses on MS-Windows. Use your system's codepage instead. This
means make sure the Eshell buffer's value of buffer-file-coding-system
is your system codepage, not UTF-8.

No further updates within 9 months. Eli made some fixes, that seems to
have improved the situation. It also seems like the fault here
ultimately was with a program called "fossil", and not with Emacs.
I'm therefore going to assume that there's nothing more we can do here,
and I'm therefore closing this bug report. If this conclusion is
incorrect, please reply to this email (use "Reply to all" in your email
client) and we can reopen the bug report.
