Special character "®" in manifest.yml --> Description leads to errors when accessing OSE from JBDS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-18093 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18093 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: openshift Affects Versions: 4.1.1.Final Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen Assignee: Andre Dietisheim Fix For: 4.2.0.CR1 Attachments: illegal-character.png, mock1b.png, special-character-mock-cartridges.png Description of problem: I have developed a custom cartridge for OSE and placed the special character "®" (registered trademark) in the description field within my "manifest.yml". The cartridge could be installed correctly via WebUI and was also working fine from a technical point of view. However, when trying to access the OSE instance from JBDS via the Openshift Explorer plugin, I always got the following error: Invalid value for input string: "00ae" The string "00ae" is the unicode representation of my special character. After removing everything worked fine again. The OpenShift Explorer was completely unusable in this scenario! So only one installed cartridge with this special character can poison a whole installation and affect ALL users!!! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): OSE 2.2 (Developer Image) How reproducible: Yes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a custom cartridge and add a "®" to the description field of your manifest.yml. 2. Install the cartridge according to doc. 3. Start JBDS and try to work with your OSE instance via the OpenShift Explorer plugin (e.g. try to add an application) Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
