SikuliX 2.0.5 code page for using with Debug.user() and popup()

Question

I'm running Sikuli-X v2.0.5 on an Ubuntu 22.04 with lang="de_DE.UTF-8". I've some trouble to get the right text output if it has umlaute ä,ö,ü

For exemple if I try to output the text in a dialog box by

popup("Hallöchen von der Knäkente")

I get weired output where the umlaute are not displayed correctly. What I than tried is to switch to other encodeing like

pupup("Hallöchen von der Knäkente".encode("utf-8"))

But this does not work either. What do I have to use in order to get the umlaute display correctly via popup or konjunction Debug.user("text to output")

Tanks

Answer 1

Can you try the following and let me know if it solved your problem?

At the beginning of your script add:

import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

Ιnstead of encoding the string with UTF-8 try passing the string to the popup.

popup("Hallöchen von der Knäkente")
