Since some time ago, when copying text from UTF-8 enabled terminal windows (on Windows!) into a GitHub issue (from Web browser), seem to remove the newlines (\n), causing all text to become one very long line. This is a sudden and highly annoying issue, that I am not able to resolve.
I am sure sure the text as copied has not changed for years, since I have been using the same various terminals and Windows and pasting into all other places such as other programs and web sites, work fine.
Q: Any idea what is going on?
(I have also tried to find a way to report the issue to github, but since the MS acquisition, there is no longer a sensible way to report bugs!)
Other SO posts have suggested to use this repo for tracking, but still require you to send email.
(Who the heck uses emails for bug reporting these days!?)

I am working on a project which requires another person to collaboratively edit the code. We have used live share to do this for months and we find alternative extensions to be too buggy and doesn't meet our needs.
However, since Monday this week, we haven't been able to use Live Share, because each time we click "Share", it infinitely loads whilst saying "Starting Collaboration".
We've uninstalled and reinstalled the extension, logged out of Github, used Microsoft, signed back into Github, etc. Restarted many times both the computers and VS Code, but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any fixes?
I am having some recent problems with TFS 2018 that have escaped my ability to troubleshoot. The application runs on a Hyper-V VM hosting Server 2019 and connects to a separate MS SQL 2016 database over on a separate Windows 2019 VM.
A few weeks ago we migrated our database server over to a new machine which, over the course of setting our existing TFS server up to use the new database, required us to run though the TFS setup wizard again.
Everything was fine for about a week when we started to have issues, specifically with the TFS web front-end we use. First we lost various icons on the webpage, with the browsers (Chrome, Firefox, etc). replacing them with rectangles:
A little while after that we lost our project Dashboards, and the whole dashboard page is just blank now. A little while after that, our WIP build/test automation feature also lost its management section of the site.
Other than these things not displaying, things generally "work" - the source control stuff functions, work items can be interacted with, etc. It's just that the interface is clumsier without the icons (which extends to every icon within every work item type, not just the banner I shared) and we can't get our automated test reports without the site's front-end for it. The latter is the real show stopper.
I spent some time troubleshooting and at best was able to figure out a maybe solution for the icon problem: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c1038468-9d94-473d-a020-254789e9a19b/tfs-2015-update-2-missing-icons?forum=tfsgeneral
This seemed to do the trick for just the icon problem, though some time later they disappeared and reappeared when people were refreshing pages. I'm still unsure if the re-failure was a fluke or not, as we rolled back the VM snapshot the changes were made on shortly after.
Using Chrome's developer tools, it seems like the lack of dashboard data is related to issues retrieving content on the host server for a cause we cannot determine.
Here is what shows up on the DevTool in Chrome for our main project's Dashboard:
What's interesting is the error claims widget.css is either not present or empty. Neither of these are the case as I can find the file and read data in it.
I recognize MIME types as a thing that shows up in IIS but I don't know what to do with the information. Should I be adding .css to the MIME Types list within IIS? Maybe that was set and the wizard reverted it?
Here's what shows up in the Builds section:
Thing is, I don't know what to do with this information. I found some vague hints online from people having similar issues with sites they were themselves coding (which stated the errors in question were red herrings), but this TFS front end is not something I've created and I had not any idea what to do with the information shared.
Does anyone have an idea of what might have gone wrong with the dashboards here? I have run out of ideas and can't figure out a different attack angle to approach this from.
When opening Azure Data Factory Studio, our datasets do not appear (couple of 100). If I open the solution in Azure Repos, I can see that they are there. If I open the solution in Visual Studio, again, the datasets are there. Sometimes if we refresh our browser several times over, they appear. If I clear all browser history, cookies, etc, and restart my computer, they 'sometimes' reappear.
If I accidentally close the browser (like I did now), it can take me hours to get the datasets to appear again. Sometimes they just pop back up.
Anyone else experience something similar? I have done a whole load of searches and cannot seem to find any posts with a similar issue (could be my wording?).
This is unexpected behavior in Azure Data Factory. As there is no error message, it is difficult to understand reason of problem and difficult to resolve issue.
Providing a link to raise ticket.
Just for anyone else experiencing the same issue.... turns out it was related to the proxy server. Apparently it was intermittently stripping out the datasets from the header (possibly because there were so many of them - and as they grew in number, so did the frequency in which they were being stripped from the header). Whitelisting ADF apparently solved the issue.
I’ll set my outrage with the way this process works (to whom can I speak?) aside for the moment: we are attempting to provide FB with a link to our ~200 mb app for approval. We have been rejected 3 times because they are incapable of extracting our zip file (they request a zip for some unknown reason — it has minimal size impact).
Some detail: we are linking to the zip on our Dropbox. We have removed all punctuation from our app title (Pandamonium!.app becomes Pandamonium.app). We have eliminated spaces from our source folder. I thought all these could be causing a problem with iOS-sim.
I’m not sure what is left to do, but I am hoping someone can present a clear set of instructions (NOT THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, WHICH I HAVE READ) they have followed particularly if you have met similar snags or ANY ideas for resolution. All they send me is useless screenshots of their simulator unable to open the app which I have simulated and opened successfully daily with iOS-sim for the last week.
After a great deal of trial and error I found that using Facebook's command-line instructions was what was causing the issue. You should just compress your .app file in an ordinary fashion (right click and compress -- I used a Windows computer just to make sure everything was copasetic after reading about bizarre Mac .cbgz compression issues).
Regardless, in summary, I can now see why no one else has had an issue with this: it's because no one reads their instructions and rather just creates their .zip files in the ordinary way; unsurprisingly, you're better off using your common sense rather than listening to others.
Aside: ironically, after being told my use case was fine and the only issue was not being able to unzip, Facebook (India) has now told me they couldn't find my login button (which is gigantic, in multiple places, and clearly described in my instructions). This process is an absolute joke. I wish anyone going through this hell good luck.
The subject tells it all. In 2015, one of the modern VCS doesn't want to accept multilingual commit messages. Though my main development language is English, I need to be able to comment on non-English stuff happening in the software. (I wonder why a program would care to use anything but UTF-8 nowadays, but it's another story.) It says:
I've found several posts on the web, discussing similar issues, but somehow none of them covers exactly this, nor do I understand how to solve the problem. I have already tried setting the system variable
,
but TortoiseHg doesn't seem to notice the difference. On the other hand, I am not sure if I set it correctly.
You set HGENCODING as a system variable in Windows. That generally requires a restart to inherit the new environment in all processes. You may get away with closing and restarting TortoiseHg from the Windows Desktop as Explorer should get a notification that the variable changed and update its own environment.
I could reproduce the issue on my system, but once the variable is set correctly TortoiseHG committed just fine. Using HGENCODING=UTF-8 is a valid spelling for that encoding.
