Invalid continuation type

Postby tech5678 » Mon Mar 15, 2021 7:53 am

When running create.bat (step 7 of masterbuildquickstart at https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/MasterBuildQuickStart.md):

Code: Select all
Generating CEF project files...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tools\gclient_hook.py", line 140, in <module>
    write_file(args_gn_path, args_gn_contents)
  File "C:\code\chromium_git\chromium\src\cef\tools\file_util.py", line 36, in write_file
    f.write(data.decode('utf-8'))
  File "C:\code\depot_tools\bootstrap-3_8_0_chromium_8_bin\python\bin\lib\encodings\utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe1 in position 279: invalid continuation byte

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I've currently set it for VS2019. I'm using a new build machine and pretty sure that I have everything installed that's needed, but is there something I could have missed that would cause this?

P.S. I just also ran update.bat, so my installation should be the current version.
