invalid continuation byte

[kiedtl]

When I used the sample code on your README, Invoke-RestMethod fails with the following error:

Invoke-RestMethod : {"error":"Bad data decoding request (UnicodeDecodeError, 'utf8'
codec can't decode byte 0xd7 in position 124746: invalid continuation byte)"}
At C:\Users\blah\mouse\lib\ravenclient.ps1:63 char:9

I have the same error, why did you close it / how did you solve this?
for example, just using an unknown function crashes the thing...

Import-Module RavenPowerShell
$ravenClient = New-RavenClient -SentryDsn 'https://$DNSURL'
try {
plop
} catch {
$ravenClient.CaptureException($_)
}

gets me this :

Invoke-RestMethod : {"error":"Bad data decoding request (UnicodeDecodeError, 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xab in position 29: invalid start byte)"}
Au caractère C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\RavenPowerShell\1.1\RavenPowerShell.psm1:63 : 9

Yes - I managed to fix it after a few days of tearing out my hair.

Problem

I found it was all because I was using Oh-My-Posh. OMP stores special characters as global values. RavenPosh will blindly upload all global values to Sentry. Sentry, which appears to be written in Python, can't handle these Unicode characters and thus throws an error.

Fix

I fixed this by manually deciding what data to upload and what not to.
You can see the fixed version here. Its terribly messy, but it still works.

Wow, I think we had the same symptoms and it was supposed to be a simple utf-8 encoding issue, have a look at the mentioned pull-request

[GreenBlood]

I with @imakiro managed to get it working simply :
We managed to fix it, adding "charset=utf-8" in the content-type argument. line 63 of RavenPowerShell.psm1 cf : #7

[kiedtl]

Amazing! I'll switch to your fork, but unfortunately it still doesn't work. Many programs I use with PowerShell are very fond of adding hundreds of global values, and when I try to capture the exception Sentry complains that the data being pushed is to large.

[imakiro]

Well, that's a whole new world of issues, but I think that this might be configurable in the sentry server configuration.

[kiedtl]

Doesn't look like that's possible.
Anyway, we're off topic here. I suppose we can close this issue now? or close it only when the PR is merged?

[imakiro]

I think we should wait for the merge request to be accepted
