Encoding Error when publishing pacts

See original GitHub issue

We currently face an encoding problem while publishing pacts to the pact broker from our npm build on a gitlab CI runner.

The same script works fine from our local windows machines and has worked fine on gitlab (unix), too, until we introduced the “€” symbol into the pacts.

This is the stacktrace:

Any ideas how we can address this issue?

I’m inclined to agree with @mboudreau on this one. Let’s default it to UTF-8 (I’ll set it in the ruby code so that people’s default locale won’t screw with it), and if someone wants a different encoding, we’ll deal with it then via a different mechanism (eg command line parameter). I’m guessing there is a very low chance of anyone wanting a different encoding, as Michel points out.

I tend to agree. Just as an aside, this issue had encoding set to ASCII-8BIT. So we might need to be agile if it comes up (and probably worth a documentation note across projects).
