pybricsdev progress bar on Windows Terminal shows garbage

Example of that output:

pipx run pybricksdev run usb mem_info.py

Fix it by setting the code page to utf-8:

chcp  65001

Now see:

pipx run pybricksdev run usb mem_info.py

Since Windows Terminal is a relatively new program, I'm surprised that it wouldn't be using utf-8 by default.

What was the code page before you switched?

[BertLindeman]

It was (is on each new terminal) chcp 437. I use C:\util\autoexec.bat to setup my terminal(s)

[dlech]

autoexec.bat takes me back to Windows 3.1! 😆

[BertLindeman]

Yep, as do the devtw32 I still use.
They are old and have needed no updates since the 1990's.
So I can type anywhere ll | grep -ni py | less

[dlech]

I was not able to reproduce:

PS C:\Users\extra> chcp 437
Active code page: 437
PS C:\Users\extra> echo "print('hi')" | uvx pybricksdev run ble -
Searching for any hub with Pybricks service...

hi
PS C:\Users\extra> uvx pybricksdev --version
pybricksdev v2.0.1
PS C:\Users\extra>

[BertLindeman]

Well, you know me.

Cleaned up pip pipx and pybricksdev on windows and linux mint.

Now have v2.0.1 as it should be.

And codepage 437 as command prompt and in powershell show a nice progressbar.

Will delete the previous post.
