Dear all,
We get the following errors when building a maven project in Jenkins when file paths contain non-ascii characters: *java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Malformed input or input contains unmappable characters: ./target/test/resources/com/itextpdf/ñoñ-ascîî* This only happens on EC2 instances we spin up automatically using the Amazon EC2 plugin (https://plugins.jenkins.io/ec2/). Following the guidelines on https://support.cloudbees.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004397911-How-to-address-issues-with-unmappable-characters, we checked the encoding of the JVM by looking at the following system properties on the EC2 instance: - file.encoding - sun.jnu.encoding Although these properties already seemed ok, we also tried fixing the issue by adding *-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8* to the JVM Options in the Cloud configuration: [image: CloudJVMOptions.jpg] Like indicated on the cloudbees article, we also checked the *Locale* of the system by looking at the environment variables. If we run a shellscript in a Jenkinsjob and execute *env | grep LANG* we get the following return: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 If we ssh to the machine and run* env | grep LANG* we get the following return: LANG=C.UTF-8 If we run the maven command directly on the machine, there are no issues with special characters. So in other words the following command works in a ssh terminal but gives errors when run in an *Execute shell* section of a Freestyle Project: */home/ubuntu/jenkins/tools/hudson.tasks.Maven_MavenInstallation/M381/bin/mvn --file /home/ubuntu/jenkins/workspace/tmp/ñoñ-ascîî/pdfocr/pom.xml clean* We tried using Maven versions 3.6.3 and 3.8.1 and JDK versions jdk-8u221 and jdk-11.0.11 without suffice. Does anyone have an idea what the issue might be and how we can fix this? (We use Jenkins version 2.277.3) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
