From: ShaoHe Feng <shaohef(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; update a vm's name with unicode name, kimchi will report error. $ curl -u <user> -H 'Accept: application/json' \ -H 'Content-type: application/json' \ http://localhost:8000/vms/u13.10 -X PUT -d ' {"name": "kīмсhī-∨м"}' There are two bugs: 1. typo encode the ident with "utf8" when HTTPRedirect change it to "utf-8" 2. The name form libvirt is str, need decode. ref: https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/wiki/support-unicode Signed-off-by: ShaoHe Feng <shaohef(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; --- src/kimchi/control/base.py | 2 +- src/kimchi/model.py | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/kimchi/control/base.py b/src/kimchi/control/base.py index f50ff6e..0b656ab 100644 --- a/src/kimchi/control/base.py +++ b/src/kimchi/control/base.py @@ -154,7 +154,7 @@ class Resource(object): ident = update(self.ident, params) if ident != self.ident: uri_params = list(self.model_args[:-1]) - uri_params += [urllib2.quote(ident.encode('utf8'))] + uri_params += [urllib2.quote(ident.encode('utf-8'))] raise cherrypy.HTTPRedirect(self.uri_fmt % tuple(uri_params), 303) return self.get() diff --git a/src/kimchi/model.py b/src/kimchi/model.py index 55de570..6590ca3 100644 --- a/src/kimchi/model.py +++ b/src/kimchi/model.py @@ -504,7 +504,7 @@ class Model(object): dom = self._get_vm(name) dom = self._static_vm_update(dom, params) self._live_vm_update(dom, params) - return dom.name() + return dom.name().decode('utf-8') def vm_lookup(self, name): dom = self._get_vm(name)
