    Description

      Basic Info

      Module Version: latest
      Puppet Version: 6.15.0
      OS Name/Version: Debian 9 (stretch)

      Summary

      The vcsrepo svn provider fails when password contains non-ASCII characters as local is set to C and svn is unable to “convert” it.

      It might definitely be an issue with that old dinosaur that is SVN, but I think we can do something at the module level or at the Puppet ruby library level.

      Desired Behavior

      The following code should work as expected:

      vcsrepo { $install_dir:
        ensure              => latest,
        provider            => 'svn',
        source              => 'https://example.org/svn/repository/trunk',
        owner               => 'owner',
        group               => 'group',
        basic_auth_username => 'user',
        basic_auth_password => 'ÙöØÓqþBÐh¦¹XH8«',
      }
      

      Actual Behavior

      SVN produces no output on stdout and Puppet fails with:

      Error: [SNIPPED]: Could not evaluate: undefined method `>=' for nil:NilClass
      

      The error is located in the latest? function of the vcsrepo SVN provider.

      This is the actual SVN output:

      # LC_ALL=C svn --non-interactive --username user --password ÙöØÓqþBÐh¦¹XH8« --no-auth-cache info
      svn: E000022: Can't convert string from native encoding to 'UTF-8':
      svn: E000022: Uo{U+00D8}OqA3/4B{U+00D0}h{U+00A6}1XH8{U+00AB}
      # LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 svn --non-interactive --username user --password ÙöØÓqþBÐh¦¹XH8« --no-auth-cache info
      svn: E155007: '/root' is not a working copy
