error occures when stack-create with template that includes 2-byte charset

[Ryo Miki]

[issue]

When 2-byte charset is included in template,
error occurs with stack-create, stack-list, stack-show, etc.

[template]

devstack@heat-test-env:~/template$ cat net.template
{
  "AWSTemplateFormatVersion" : "2010-09-09",
  "Parameters": {
    "net_name" : {
      "Type" : "String"
    }
  },
  "Resources" : {
    "Net1": {
      "Type": "OS::Neutron::Net",
      "Properties": {
        "name": {"Ref": "net_name"}
      }
    }
  }
}

# "テスト" just means "test".

(Delete the stack to rescue this situation.)

[similar bug report]

It cares 2-byte charset of stack and resource name.

Heat must also consider 2-byte charset of templates.

I can reproduce this bug

Thank you about confirming the report. I hope that this bug will be fixed in
Juno. Could you tell about the progress?

[Steve Baker (steve-stevebaker)]

is this still an issue?

[Johannes Grassler (jgr-launchpad)]

This does not appear to be a problem anymore. I just tested it with the original template on SuSE Cloud 6 (Liberty):
