Problem

In Fisheye, when indexing a Subversion repository that contains a filename with special characters (such as Cyrillic characters), the indexing fails.

The following appears in the atlassian-fisheye-YYYY-MM-DD.log

Cause

This is caused by an incorrect locale setting in the operating system. Fisheye only supports UTF-8.

Resolution

Ensure that the locale for the user running Fisheye is set to en_US.UTF-8.

In Linux, you can check this using the locale command, and the locale can be set with the LC_ALL environment variable.

Example output of the locale command with the correct settings:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
