gsutil fails to upload file with “codec can't

Question

I'm uploading a static website to cloud storage using the command

gsutil cp -v -R -c * gs://www.gennadiy-dolzhenko.ru

mid process it fails with the following output

...SNIP...

'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xdd in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

Its unclear which file is faulty and -c flag doesn't make the tool continue upload as described. How can I determine what is causing the error or at least make the tool upload as many files as possible?

UPDATE: using the -D switch I was able to trace it down to the following error

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xdd in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

Answer 1

I am also having problems getting the following command to work:

gsutil mv "台北.html" gs://my.bucket.com

even

gsutil mv * gs://mybucket.com

won't work and (I guess phyton?) always tells me:

Failure: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-1: ordinal not in range(128)

But what works is, renaming the local file to a generated name and doing the following: gsutil mv "generatedName.html" "gs://my.bucket.com/台北.html"

I have read on another stackoverflow question that it might be reltated?

Answer 2

The problem here was a file name containing invalid Unicode chars. We have changed gsutil to provide a more helpful error message for this case. This change will be included in gsutil 4.4.
