Kristóf, could you check this bug, please?

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

I believe this is related to us setting LANG=ascii on the bots to work around a gcc issue.  See bug 50843.

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

I set it to P1 blocker, because webkit-patch and CQ can't land patches reviewed by myself. :(

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

Peter, could you check this bug with Kristof ASAP?

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

Sigh.  I thought this had gone away.  I can take another look.  A test case (patch) would be most helpful.

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

Guys wasn't able to reproduce it locally, but unfortunately it is still valid on the commit queue machine: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67646#c2

Eric or someone else who has access to this bot, could you check it, please?
It is so annoying that we can't land patches reviewed by me with the commit queue. :(

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

It's on the (growing) list of bugs I'd like to fix. :(

[Adam Barth]

@Eric: time to create a meta bug and burn through these?

[Tom Zakrajsek]

I'm not sure how to set up a regression test for this.  I can test that the mod (wrapping stdio with a codec) works in a standalone unit-test, but it's a lot more invasive to try to force unicode text through the output of webkit-patch itself.

[Adam Barth]

Eric is probably your best reviewer here.  Generally, it's hard to test changes to the webkit-patch script self (as opposed to the webkitpy library).  I suspec this change wi'll have somewhat wide-ranging effects that will be difficult to predict, but we shouldn't let that stop us!

Test case to show

Uploading an example script to demonstrate the problem/solution in a minimal case.  To see the issue, run the script and redirect/tee the output.

Please add a (brief) comment explaing why we do this, and linking to this bug.  You should also consider linking from this bug or your ChangeLog to places on the web where they explain why this is the right way to fix this.   Just some sort of paper trail so that someone can understand later why this change was made.

Another reproduction:
webkit-patch apply-attachment 113861 [details]

That doesn't repro on my local machine, but I suspect it will repro on our EWS instances.  I'll figure out how to SSH into one and try it.

[Eric Seidel (no email)]

The EC2 instances use some environment variables to work around fancy-quotes in GCC causing unicode decoding exceptions during other parts of processing.  Those environment variables are what's causing the problem here.  We may need to revisit which ones we set.

The following invocation of the command will reproduce this bug *on ec2* it still does not reproduce locally on my mac.

LANG=en_US.US-ASCII LC_ALL=C PYTHONIOENCODING=utf_8 ./Tools/Scripts/webkit-patch apply-attachment 113861 [details]

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

CQ works fine nowadays with patches reviewed by myself or Tor Arne :)
