...Cause
This problem may happen when the review has files uploaded as Attachments or as Pre-commit patches.
At the moment these files get uploaded they don't have a charset / encoding defined (or Crucible fails to detect it), and this information goes missing into the database.
The error happens when Crucible tries to retrieve the information from the database and the charset cannot be found.
Resolution
Shut down Crucible
- Backup the database using the database vendor software, just to be on the safe side.
Query the database for the file mentioned in the stack trace (e.g.,
file.txtin the example above) by running this query:SELECT cru_charset, cru_upload_id, cru_original_name FROM cru_upload_item WHERE cru_original_name = 'file.txt';You may get a multiple rows in the query output, and among them you may see a few rows with
cru_charsetempty (or null):cru_charset | cru_upload_id | cru_original_name -------------+---------------+------------------- UTF-8 | 35205 | file.txt UTF-8 | 35206 | file.txt UTF-8 | 35264 | file.txt UTF-8 | 35265 | file.txt | 35377 | file.txt | 35376 | file.txtFix the problem by adding 'UTF-8' to
cru_charsetwhere they're missing by running this query:UPDATE cru_upload_item SET cru_charset = 'UTF-8' WHERE cru_upload_id = 35376 AND cru_original_name = 'file.txt'; UPDATE cru_upload_item SET cru_charset = 'UTF-8' WHERE cru_upload_id = 35377 AND cru_original_name = 'file.txt';Start Crucible
