[Bug]: When viewing remote results, the workflow containing Chinese characters appears garbled

[ahai-code]

Apache Hop version?

2.6.0

Java version?

11.0.2

Operating system

Windows

What happened?

I created a workflow (this workflow contains Chinese characters), see Figure 1, using the remote (Hop remote workflow engine) way to run, the output of the log is normal, but when I view the results (Location type is Remote location, see Figure 2) appeared garbled, see Figure 3.

Could you test with Hop 2.7, this issue should be resolved #3356

[ahai-code]

Thanks a lot for the answer, I tested again with the latest version 2.7.0 (client and docker image) but the issue persists, maybe it is different from #3356.

The same problem is also visible in the metrics tab (2.8.0-SNAPSHOT (2024-01-24 07.28.10)).

Local execution

Remote server execution

Charset problems seem to have been corrected with #3599

[ahai-code]

The problem doesn't seem to be completely solved, I downloaded the latest version 2.8.0, created a workflow to test it, and there is still Chinese gibberish when getting the workflow remote results.

Figure 1. Workflow remote logs print properly.

Figure 2. Workflow remote results appear garbled, including the workflow name, log, and the name of the action in the workflow.

Figure 3. Double-click to enter the operation of the pipeline type, which also has a lot of garbled code, including pipeline names, conversion names and logs, etc.

I'm reopening the issue. I reproduce the bug with the following "Execution Information Location".
There's another bug in GetExecutionInfoServlet

The problem now seems to have been solved in remote execution location too.

@ahai-code, could you test with a latest build from here then we know the issues are resolved in the next version

[ahai-code]

Well, I downloaded "hop-client-2.9.0-20240318.234909-1.zip" from the link, and hop-server (Docker image) is still using 2.8.0, and testing revealed that when using the remote method to run the workflow and pipeline, this error message appears, as shown in Figure 1. Is it because I am not using the same version (2.9.0-20240318.234909-1) of the Docker image as the client?

[hansva]

Hi @ahai-code for docker images you can use the 2.9.0-SNAPSHOT or Development tags:
https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/hop/tags

[ahai-code]

@hansva Thank you, it's because the client and hop server versions are not the same. And I just created a remote workflow to test it, and the garbled Chinese issue is resolved. @nadment Thank you again for your patience in solving this problem, which has helped me a lot in using the software.

[hansva]

Thank you for confirming it works!
