Hello,
We have config files with Japanese comments in them for explanatory purposes. For example, “” which is a comment above a connection string element.
When Octopus attempts to replace configuration variables in these files it fails with the following log snippet:
12:11:08 Error | Exception while replacing configuration-variables in: D:\OctopusTentacle\Applications\Production\DBVersionUp\20151201.236-VariablesFix\App.IT1.config
12:11:08 Error | System.Xml.XmlException: Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 5, position 13.
12:11:08 Error | at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(String res, String arg)
12:11:08 Error | at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.InvalidCharRecovery(Int32& bytesCount, Int32& charsCount)
12:11:08 Error | at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.GetChars(Int32 maxCharsCount)
12:11:08 Error | at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ReadData()
Line 5, position 13 is the first Japanese character in the file.
The config file is set to UTF-8 encoding, which I believe should work fine with Japanese characters.
If this is a bug it would be great to have it fixed. Otherwise we will need to clear out all the comments from the files.
