Sometimes I get this error while running run-webkit-tests. Other times they run just fine. worker/3: UnicodeEncodeError(''ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u201c' in position 85: ordinal not in range(128)') raised: File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/common/message_pool.py", line 280, in run worker.handle(message.name, message.src, *message.args) File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/controllers/layout_test_runner.py", line 291, in handle self._run_test(test_input, test_list_name) File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/controllers/layout_test_runner.py", line 317, in _run_test result = self._run_test_with_or_without_timeout(test_input, test_timeout_sec, stop_when_done) File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/controllers/layout_test_runner.py", line 383, in _run_test_with_or_without_timeout return self._run_test_in_this_thread(test_input, stop_when_done) File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/controllers/layout_test_runner.py", line 469, in _run_test_in_this_thread return self._run_single_test(self._driver, test_input, stop_when_done) File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/controllers/layout_test_runner.py", line 473, in _run_single_test self._name, driver, test_input, stop_when_done) File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/controllers/single_test_runner.py", line 47, in run_single_test return runner.run() File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/controllers/single_test_runner.py", line 106, in run return self._run_compare_test() File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/controllers/single_test_runner.py", line 109, in _run_compare_test driver_output = self._driver.run_test(self._driver_input(), self._stop_when_done) File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/port/driver.py", line 815, in run_test return self._driver.run_test(driver_input, stop_when_done) File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/port/driver.py", line 241, in run_test self.error_from_test, crash_log = self._get_crash_log(text, self.error_from_test, newer_than=start_time) File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/port/driver.py", line 310, in _get_crash_log return self._port._get_crash_log(self._crashed_process_name, self._crashed_pid, stdout, stderr, newer_than, target_host=self._target_host) File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/port/gtk.py", line 241, in _get_crash_log self._filesystem, self._path_to_driver, self.port_name, self.get_option('configuration')).generate_crash_log(stdout, stderr) File "/app/webkit/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/port/linux_get_crash_log.py", line 156, in generate_crash_log errors_str = cppfilt_proc.communicate(errors_str)[0] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 483, in communicate return self._communicate(input) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1124, in _communicate stdout, stderr = self._communicate_with_poll(input) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1188, in _communicate_with_poll input_offset += os.write(fd, chunk)
This seems to be an issue if and only if run-webkit-tests is run outside of the WebKit repository root directory.
