FR | mariadb = 'NoneType'

[spirillen]

What is the problem you are experiencing?

After having testing PostgreSQL for a couple of days, I was to return to my MariaDB server, when I keep getting this error

Fatal Error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encoding'

How can we reproduce the problem?

To reproduce the problem:

1. install/upgrade PyFunceble python3.11 -m pip install -U -I --pre pyfunceble-dev
2. modify ~/.config/PyFunceble/.PyFunceble.overwrite.yaml

   cli_testing:
     db_type: mariadb ( Same error if I gives mysql)

3. run pyfunceble -c --preload --all --execution --hierarchical -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mypdns/matrix/refs/heads/master/source/porn_filters/strict_filters/hosts.list
   or
   pyfunceble --database-type mariadb -c --preload --all --execution --hierarchical -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mypdns/matrix/refs/heads/master/source/porn_filters/strict_filters/hosts.list

Do you have a screenshot?

Additional context

This is only a issue on one of my virtual installs, which happens to be the one I tested with PostgreSQL, I have not seen this behavior anywhere else.... yet...

However, the one running on my desktop, refuses to generate any output files... Linux can be strange sometimes

Found the bug... it was in my DB server, but weirdly enough, this was the only box infected by the setting.

This change the issue to a Feature request of better error reporting, logging.

Is it possible that you were using the charset utf-8 instead of utf8 ? That's the only possible explanation.

By the way: --debug will activate the debug modus but it doesn't mean that we will print huge logging.
When using it, it will force PyFunceble to print tracebacks at the end - if some are available.
