UTF-8 Import Problems (Mac OS -> Generated from Excel)
Added by Matt Bickford 8 months ago.
Updated 8 months ago.
I read the instructions above:
Yes
Description
Exporting a file from Excel with the UTF-8 option (The first one in the dropdown) results in an unimportable file with an error of "Unknown File Format".
[2024-04-14 19:05:01,558] chirp.wxui.common - ERROR: : Unknown file format
When exported with the generic CSV option further down the same file will open file.
diff'ing the two files shows that the header is different but it appears identical.
Using 4/13 build currently (although it also happens on older builds) as well.

Hmm, can confirm, will investigate, thanks.

Ah, I got it. The recent(ish) change to allow comments in the CSV file will fail to detect the file if it has a BOM (which Excel is adding apparently). The file will still load (which is why the test passes) but the detection logic won't actually see the file as a CSV in the UI and thus never even tries to load it as one. So I'll fix that up and add a BOM-having detection test as well. This would have worked between when it was originally fixed and January of this year when the comment stuff was added :)
Okay, if you want to give this a shot and confirm it works for you, that'd be great. Instructions are here: LoadingTestModules
It lets me load your "non working" file. Be sure to start a fresh chirp, load the module, then try opening the file. Please capture a fresh debug log after if it doesn't work for some reason.
Thanks!
Works like a champ! Nice work!
Cool, thanks for the report and confirmation. I'll get this integrated into the next build sometime this week.
