Transfer failure due to special characters in path

[fhautekeete]

Windows 10
Python 2.7 (was recommended for Unicode compatibility in the documentation)

Issue: p4 reopen will fail if special characters are present in the file path (when fixing file types)
Reason: In fixFileTypes(self, filerevs, openedFiles) the 'fixed' local path is used for reopening: self.p4cmd('reopen', '-t', chRev.type, chRev.fixedLocalFile)

There is probably an inconsistency when to use the 'fixedLocalFile'. If invoking p4cmd one (maybe) only needs to restore the os separator but leave the special characters in their ASCII expanded form? I am currently using chRev.localFile for the reopen in fixFileTypes() and the transfer is proceeding.

Thanks - will have a look

This is an issue that is impacting us as well. We are testing a bandaid fix, but just wanted to see if there has been any movement on this bug fix.

Worth a try with latest code - may have been fixed as a side effect of recent changes.
