Description

Describe the bug...

Steps to reproduce

1. After upgrading from 1.8.2 to 1.8.3, all kind of searches are broken and produces a traceback. It happens with FindPage as well as pages like CategoryHomepage.

2. [Added later] On second thought: At about the same time as I upgraded, I also moved configuration from a single wiki to a farm. I still believe this to be a bug, but it might have to do with my farm configuration.

Example

1. Go to http://test.sporskiftet.dk/wiki

2. The page is in Danish, but you will find a menuitem called FindPage in the upper right corner ;-).

3. Try searching for something - no matter what.

That traceback looks like you have non-utf-8 content on your wiki pages. Wiki page content needs to be valid utf-8.

• That doesn't mean that MoinMoin shouldn't handle that, i think. str.decode() (and other decode/encode methods) has option, which determines what to do with wrong characters. Usually, i use value "replace" — it will produce «�» («replacement character», U+FFFD) for unknown (improper) characters. Other acceptible value — «ignore». It will drop unknown characters, but anyway it's better than return traceback. Also, it's possible to overload this method (comewhere in codecs, i suppose) to call it with proper parameters on early initialization stage, to eliminate need of modifying decode/encode calls all over the code. -- EugeneSyromyatnikov 2009-10-04 14:58:11

  The css on your testwiki is on the wrong url it tries http://test.sporskiftet.dk/moin_static184/sporskiftet/css/common.css
