Error when Windows username contains Unicode characters

[kelliray90]

This error occurs when run "win.show(html)" while the Windows username contains Unicode characters (for example, accents or non-Latin letters).
Is there any way to fix or work around this issue?

Strange! WebUI support UTF-8
Can you please share the full logs? (use the debug version of webui)

Maybe something wrong here:

webui/src/webui.c

Line 11838 in dcc776a

// Convert chache folder path to wide

Looks like WebView is loaded correctly and return success to WebUI... The workaround you can do right now is using webui_set_browser_folder()

Example:

#include "webui.h"

int main() {

	size_t my_window = webui_new_window();

	// Set a non-unicode path to be used by WebView as temp folder
	webui_set_browser_folder("C:\\MyTempFolder"); 

	webui_show(my_window, "<html><head><script src=\"webui.js\"></script></head> Hello World ! </html>");
	webui_wait();

	// Clean the temp folder
	webui_clean(); 

	return 0;
}
