Deploy.ps1 fails during UI Build due to UnicodeEncodeError

[daveinci]

Describe the bug
Running deploy.ps1 fails during UI build phase, specifically during vite install, due to handling of error received during vite installation when it returns a checkmark (character '\u2713') in its result. Running the commands manually work.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Follow deployment instructions for "Full" deployment with PrivateACR and custom $ResourceNames defined. https://azure.github.io/ipam/#/deployment/README
2. See error:
   RUN npm run build ---> Running in
   | cf61f8120ed6 > [email protected] build > vite build vite v4.4.9 building for production... transforming...
   | ERROR: The command failed with an unexpected error. Here is the traceback: ERROR: 'charmap' codec can't encode

Expected behavior
Expect deploy.ps1 to complete without error and ipam applications to be running in app service.

Good morning @daveinci, I'm working on reproducing this now and will circle back with you shortly once I have some answers on the best way to address this. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention!

Hey @daveinci, the root cause for this stems from how the Vite build process will emit an Unicode "checkmark" character, and then that being captured by PowerShell and redirected to a variable. Long story short, this is an issue with how this is handled in Windows systems, but there is something you can try as a workaround for now.

Take a look at the fix in this link, which shows how to enable UTF-8 support in Windows:
microsoft/knack#178

I would suggest enabling that for now and seeing if that unblocks you, and in the meantime I will continue working on a more permanent/universal fix for this issue.

Please let me know if the above helps!

[daveinci]

Thanks @DCMattyG. I worked around by running the 'az acr build' commands manually. Enabling Control Panel -> Region -> Administrative -> Change system locale -> Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support would likely do the trick but appreciate you looking for the permanent/universal fix. Think that will help users.

Hi @daveinci, this issue has been addressed in PR #181. For now, I've changed the output of the build to "warn" which will stop the Unicode output seen at the "info" level. I've tested four many hours trying to find a way to alleviate this via scripting, but it appears unless you enable UTF-8 support in Windows (as mentioned in my previous comment), nothing I've found through script changes has been able to alleviate this issue.

I'll keep looking for a better workaround, but now this issue should be resolved. Please let me know if you have any further issues and we'll get right on them. Thanks again!
