bugs/UnicodeDecodeError while archiving files with git-annex to glaciergit-annexhttp://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/UnicodeDecodeError_while_archiving_files_with_git-annex_to_glacier/git-annexikiwiki2015-08-17T11:44:40Zcomment 1http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/UnicodeDecodeError_while_archiving_files_with_git-annex_to_glacier/comment_1_f68d5ad86d67aa73074389cf9a21469e/joey2015-08-14T18:13:53Z2015-08-14T18:07:10Z
<p>Doesn't seem likely that this is a bug in git-annex.
git-annex is clearly operating on the file just fine until it passes
it off to glacier-cli.</p>
<p>I suggest you pass --debug to git-annex, and see what glacier-cli command
it's running. That will probably be useful information for the glacier-cli
developers, to reproduce the problem without involving git-annex.</p>
<p>One possibility that comes to mind, given
<a href="https://github.com/basak/glacier-cli/issues/16">https://github.com/basak/glacier-cli/issues/16</a> is that your git-annex
repository might be in a path with some characters that glacier-cli doesn't
like in its name. If git-annex passes the full path to the file to
glacier-cli, it might then run into this problem. I'm not sure ATM if
git-annex does pass the full path to the file; it seems like a relative
path would avoid such a problem. The --debug output should answer this
too..</p>

Yes it's a glacier.cli related bug ... maybe git-annex should use boto3 for glacier support ...
