gemini-cli - 💡(How to fix) Fix Bug: CLI crashes when running dedup on issues with special characters in title — «test» [1 comments, 1 participants]

When running the CLI against issues that contain special characters (like Unicode quotes « »), the dedup feature fails silently. No error is shown, but the duplicate detection doesn't work.

TL;DR

The dedup feature may need to be updated to handle Unicode characters, and running the CLI with proper character encoding could be a potential workaround.

Guidance

• Verify that the CLI is configured to handle Unicode characters by checking the character encoding settings.
• Test the dedup feature with issues containing special characters using a different approach, such as using escape sequences or enclosing the title in quotes.
• Check the documentation for the dedup feature to see if there are any known issues or limitations with handling Unicode characters.
• Consider reporting the issue to the developers or maintainers of the dedup feature to request proper handling of Unicode characters.

Notes

The provided information does not include details about the implementation of the dedup feature or the CLI, so it is difficult to provide a more specific solution. Additionally, the security research assistant role and the new steps provided do not seem to be related to the original issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The best course of action would be to apply a workaround, such as using escape sequences or enclosing the title in quotes, until the dedup feature is updated to handle Unicode characters properly.
