Fix non append encoding to UTF8 No BOM in Start Transcript by Gimly · Pull Request #13899 · PowerShell/PowerShell

Gimly · 2020-10-26T21:56:19Z

PR Summary

When the -Append file has not been set by the user, the file is emptied using WriteAllText.

This method seems to keep the encoding of the file if it existed prior, which as discussed in #13677 shouldn't be the case. Instead, it should simply use the default encoding which should be UTF8 Without BOM.

The fix is to call the override with the encoding set in the part of the code that clears the file content.

PR Context

Fixes #13677

PR Checklist

When the -Append file has not been set by the user, the file is emptied using WriteAllText. This method seems to keep the encoding of the file if it existed prior. We don't want this behavior and want to be sure that the UTF8NoBom is used. It calls the override with the encoding set.

@Gimly I am ok with the change but I want ask - have you an interest to make more cleanups in follow PR? We could remove TranscriptionOption.Encoding and Utils.GetEncoding(), instead we could use standard StreamReader() to detect encoding in TranscriptionOption.FlushContentToDisk().

iSazonov · 2020-10-27T06:12:39Z

Formally it is a breaking change (bracket 3) so I ask PowerShell Committee to review.

/cc @SteveL-MSFT @daxian-dbw

Gimly · 2020-10-27T06:49:02Z

@iSazonov Sure, I will take a go at it.

SteveL-MSFT · 2020-10-28T22:10:03Z

@PowerShell/powershell-committee reviewed this, we are ok with the change. There should be a test added to this PR however.

iSazonov · 2020-10-29T04:34:55Z

@Gimly Please add tests. I guess it will be 3 tests (without Append, with Append and file in UTF16 exists, with Append and file doesn't exist)

+        Get-Date | Out-Null
+        Stop-Transcript

+        GetFileEncoding $transcriptFilePath | Should -Be 'utf-16'


Please use BeExactly for strings here and below:

Suggested change

GetFileEncoding $transcriptFilePath | Should -Be 'utf-16'

GetFileEncoding $transcriptFilePath | Should -BeExactly 'utf-16'

Gimly · 2020-11-03T09:22:59Z

@iSazonov I'm not sure why the CI has failed, it looks like powershellget has failed. Maybe you need to restart the builds?

iSazonov · 2020-11-03T10:21:17Z

Reopen to restart CIs.

    }
+    It "Should keep the existing file's encoding if the 'Append' parameter is used"{
+        $transcriptFilePath = Join-Path $TestDrive ([System.IO.Path]::GetRandomFileName())


better to put this in BeforeAll{} since it's reused?

I've used the $transcriptFilePath that already existed in the BeforeAll instead of creating a new one

@Gimly Please look CI fails.

This PR has 27 quantified lines of changes. In general, a change size of upto 200 lines is ideal for the best PR experience!

Quantification details

Label      : Extra Small
Size       : +26 -1
Percentile : 10.8%

Total files changed: 2

Change summary by file extension:
.cs : +1 -1
.ps1 : +25 -0

Change counts above are quantified counts, based on the PullRequestQuantifier customizations.

Why proper sizing of changes matters

Optimal pull request sizes drive a better predictable PR flow as they strike a
balance between between PR complexity and PR review overhead. PRs within the
optimal size (typical small, or medium sized PRs) mean:

Fast and predictable releases to production:
- Optimal size changes are more likely to be reviewed faster with fewer
  iterations.
- Similarity in low PR complexity drives similar review times.
Review quality is likely higher as complexity is lower:
- Bugs are more likely to be detected.
- Code inconsistencies are more likely to be detetcted.
Knowledge sharing is improved within the participants:
- Small portions can be assimilated better.
Better engineering practices are exercised:
- Solving big problems by dividing them in well contained, smaller problems.
- Exercising separation of concerns within the code changes.

What can I do to optimize my changes

Use the PullRequestQuantifier to quantify your PR accurately
- Create a context profile for your repo using the context generator
- Exclude files that are not necessary to be reviewed or do not increase the review complexity. Example: Autogenerated code, docs, project IDE setting files, binaries, etc. Check out the Excluded section from your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
- Understand your typical change complexity, drive towards the desired complexity by adjusting the label mapping in your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
- Only use the labels that matter to you, see context specification to customize your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
Change your engineering behaviors
- For PRs that fall outside of the desired spectrum, review the details and check if:
  - Your PR could be split in smaller, self-contained PRs instead
  - Your PR only solves one particular issue. (For example, don't refactor and code new features in the same PR).

How to interpret the change counts in git diff output

One line was added: +1 -0
One line was deleted: +0 -1
One line was modified: +1 -1 (git diff doesn't know about modified, it will
interpret that line like one addition plus one deletion)
Change percentiles: Change characteristics (addition, deletion, modification)
of this PR in relation to all other PRs within the repository.
