Problems with Unicode Characters in Subversion Log

I am using SVN "Generic" with the "log" command to fetch my subversion log. I want to build a change-log for the build from this. It is working but Unicode characters in the log are getting mangled.

For example, what appears (correctly) in TortoiseSVN's Log Messages window as "R²" comes out in the FinalBuilder log-output window (inside the G.U.I.) as "R¦" and, gets written to a text file as "R▓"

The action that fetches the log from the server is a "Subversion Generic" that is set to log to a string-variable. It has this command line: "--no-auth-cache --non-interactive -r %SubversionLogTagRevision%:%SubversionRevision%"

The variable is written to a file with a "Create Text File" action and the Encoding is set to UTF8.

My FinalBuilder version is v. 7.0.0.1065.
FinalBuilder is configured to use the command-line client installed with TortoiseSVN 1.7.0, Build 22068 - 64 Bit.

Hi

This is a strange problem. When using the command line client installed with TortoiseSVN I can reproduce this problem, however when I use the Win32Svn Subversion client, (32bit) Subversion client, the command works as expected. The two clients are built against the same source and as far as I can tell are using the same configuration file, so I am unable to tell what is causing the difference in behaviour.

I am afraid if that there is nothing we can do about this. My suggestion would be to download the Win32Svn client and point FinalBuilder at this client as a workaround.

Thanks, Steve.

Could you please, perhaps, provide a link to the “Win32SVN” client you’re using? In the past, I have used the one from CollabNET - is that it?

Are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit build?

Regards,
Stephen.

No problems, here is where I downloaded Win32Svn from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32svn/

Win32Svn is a 32 bit client only.
