#9875 fix(cli): Handle non-unicode characters in plugin logs Pull request opened by toroleapinc Summary On Windows, the default console encoding (e.g. cp1252) cannot represent all Unicode characters. When plugins (e.g.

tap-mssql

) emit log lines containing non-ASCII text such as Cyrillic characters, the standard

logging.StreamHandler

raises

UnicodeEncodeError

and drops the log entry entirely. Changes • Add

SafeStreamHandler

class in

src/meltano/core/logging/utils.py

that extends

logging.StreamHandler

with a fallback

emit()

method using

backslashreplace

error handling • Update the console handler configuration to use

SafeStreamHandler

instead of

logging.StreamHandler

This ensures that log output containing non-encodable characters is never lost — instead, unencodable characters are escaped (e.g.

\u0441\u0430\u043c\u044b\u0445

). Fixes #8799 Summary by Sourcery Bug Fixes: • Prevent UnicodeEncodeError from dropping plugin log lines containing non-ASCII characters in console output. meltano/meltano
