[Bug 921442] Re: [6.0/trunk] Encoding trouble in mail_message parsing and base_action_rule processing

 

"but Second part of bug is not reproduce
at my end so would you please elaborate more regarding
second part of this issue with video or proper steps."

Hello,

To reproduce, you need to send a mail which contains broken chars in its body to a mail you fetch in OpenERP... But 
During the fetch of the e-mails, the mail body makes Postgresql issue an "invalid byte sequence" UTF-8 error because it tries to write some not valid UTF-8 chars.

We cannot guarantee the quality of the data which enters in OpenERP via
emails, mails may contains invalid characters. But we have to handle
this exceptions so we should ignore them or replace them by the
replacement caracter �.

Thanks
Guewen

Bug description:
  hi,

  
  We've got an issue with encoding in the crm part. This will be difficult to reproduce.. :( So, please look at the code to understand the problem..

  First bug part : Parsing the rules (base_action_rule) breaks if the
  regexp or the name of the resource (model) has some non-string char.
  In the function do_chek you have :

  if reg_name:
              ptrn = re.compile(str(reg_name))
              _result = ptrn.search(str(obj.name))

  Calling str() method here breaks if some unknown char are present in
  the object name or in the regexp name it-self.

  See my patch, I suggest to just remove that call to str() as both are
  already in unicode which is perfect => no need to convert with str().

  
  Second part: Fetching mail when some character are broken in the body_html part. It could happend that you receive an email with broking characters in it, you should not block everything because of that. Currently, if it happend, no other mail are fetched, and you got an PostgreSQL error when trying to write it in DB : invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xe96ce9

  In the parse_message of mail_message.py, you make everything to take
  care of the coding, nothing to improve there I think. But, if the
  message (body_html) contain broken char (I mean non-valid one, not a
  coding trouble, like in this example : unicode('abcdef' + chr(255))),
  then it breaks the mail fetching.

  As body_text is encoded in unicode, I suggest the same in my patch,
  but with the option errors=ignore. This way we skip all non-conform
  char, and ensure the write method will only write valid char in DB.

  The provided patch worked on more than 900 mails, so I think it's
  good.

  Thanks for your consideration,

  Regards,

  
  Joël
