Incorrect work if app started from dir with unicode char in name

[jane567]

Hi Florian!
I found following issue:
if application started from dir with cyrillic chars result of scan is ALWAYS: SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE CLEAN.

BUT
Some errors displayed with --debug option:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "loki.py", line 206, in scan_path
    if self.app_path.lower() in filePath.lower():
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xeb in position 39: ordinal not in range(128)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "loki.py", line 206, in scan_path
    if self.app_path.lower() in filePath.lower():
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xeb in position 39: ordinal not in range(128)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "loki.py", line 206, in scan_path
    if self.app_path.lower() in filePath.lower():
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xeb in position 39: ordinal not in range(128)
...

To reproduce issue:
put loki.py with into dir, for example, c:\локи
then run
python loki.py -p c:\test
and
python loki.py -p c:\test --debug

So in this case we got wrong result of scanning
Thanks

Is this the same issue?

File "loki.py", line 1399, in
loki.scan_path(defaultPath)
File "loki.py", line 172, in scan_path
for root, directories, files in os.walk(unicode(path), onerror=walk_error, followlinks=False):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py", line 296, in walk
for x in walk(new_path, topdown, onerror, followlinks):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py", line 296, in walk

if isdir(join(top, name)):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 80, in join
path += '/' + b
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 6: ordinal not in range(128)

It seems no

FYI
The alternative scanner SPARK Core, which shouldn't have this issue, has been released this month

Shouldn't be a problem anymore with the py3 version or use THOR Lite
