Expecto "spirit emoji" are not updated

[pblasucci]

Test cases which contain "spriti emoji" fail to have their state updated (i.e. icon colors don't change, test explorer doesn't recategorize)

• Work-around: don't use stupid "spirit emoji" in test case names
• Platform: Windows 10
• Runtime: .NET Core 2.1

Minimal reproduction: https://github.com/pblasucci/neptune_expecto_repro

This is probably happening not only with "spriti emoji", but also with any test name using special UTF8 characters.

I don't see easy way to solve it at the moment, and I don't feel it's super critical issue - I will put it into backlog

[pblasucci]

Thanks! And agree. This really isn’t a big deal.

[Krzysztof-Cieslak]

Funny fact - it works fine for me on Linux. I wonder if it has something to do with terminal encoding etc.

[pblasucci]

Weird! I suspect you might be right.

Still not something to lose sleep over, though.

Looks like not just special UTF8 characters, but any non-ascii character in test names breaks the integration. For example "á", "é" are not that extreme characters, and usually work everywhere.

It's definitely some kind of character encoding issue, because if I look at Neptune Expecto output, I see this (notice the "�" in the output):

[11:43:55 INF] EXPECTO?! Summary...

	samples/Not really extr�m character should work [c:\Dev\ExpectoSample\Sample.fs:18]

But if I run it from console dotnet run -- --debug --summary-location, the output is ok:

[11:54:36 INF] EXPECTO?! Summary...

Repro: just add these tests to the sample by @pblasucci, I'm on Win10 and .NET Core 2.1 as well

    test "Not really extrém character should work" {
      Expect.equal true true "This should work"
    }

    test "Not really extrém character should fail" {
      Expect.equal true false "This should not work"
    }
