when I try to run glance from the command prompt in windows 7 I get this error. Is there a work around?
>echo %OS%
Windows_NT
>glance image-list
'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\u2013' in position 976: character maps to <undefined>
Looks like a localization issue. Can you please run:
systeminfo.exe | findstr Locale
Sample output:
System Locale: en-us;English (United States)
Input Locale: en-us;English (United States)
Ok so the work around was that nova image-list didn't have those pesky unicode characters in its output while glance did, but now that I've upgraded to nova 2.28.1 they appear, so now I can no longer list images in windows, fortunately there is an ubuntu machine I can use.
So I was thinking maybe if I changed the code page to something which hopefully has a mapping for u2013 I could solve my problem. So I tried 28591 ( ISO 8859-1) which I got from Code page List but according to this page Windows Code Pages It is actually 1252. So I ran the command to change the code page and the openstack command suddenly started working!
C:\Users\tbodine\Documents\CiscoStuff\Python>chcp 1252
Active code page: 1252
C:\Users\tbodine\Documents\CiscoStuff\Python>glance image-list

Looks like someone put the N'ko alphabetFa into the output stream for glance image-list
