Unicode problem?!? in execCommand on Windows

[emagnusandersson]

Hi,

This problem only occurs on Windows (not on Linux).

var funMain=async function(){
  var res=await Neutralino.os.execCommand("echo a") // (this works)
  var res=await Neutralino.os.execCommand("echo ä") // "Blocks" (Promise neither resolves nor rejects) on Windows 10
  var res=await Neutralino.os.execCommand("echo a") // (the program never gets here)
}
funMain()

Expected behaviour is that the promise should resolve.

neu CLI: v11.0.1
Neutralinojs binaries: v5.0.0
Neutralinojs client: v5.0.1
Project version: v1.0.0

Thank you in advance,
Best regards

Is there any progress or solution?

@shalithasuranga Can you fix this problem? Because it affects the command execution of Windows in non-English environments.

// working
console.log(await Neutralino.os.execCommand('node -e "console.log(\'你好世界\')"'))
console.log(await Neutralino.os.spawnProcess('node -e "console.log(\'你好世界\')"'))
// not working (block)
console.log(await Neutralino.os.execCommand('echo 你好世界'))
// not working (panic) (exitcode: 3221226505)
console.log(await Neutralino.os.spawnProcess('echo 你好世界'))

The above code shows that the non-English characters output by NodeJS are not affected, so I guess it is because the NodeJS output is UTF-8 encoded, while the Windows cmd output is the system encoding, which is GB2312 in the Chinese environment.

This is also a show-stopper here in Germany with "äöüÄÖÜß" and France as well ... should be put on top priority.

And #1207, it also affects working properly in non-English environments.

Perhaps a comprehensive investigation of character encoding should be conducted.
