Aws-cli: Sync to s3 hangs forever - 'ascii' codec can't encode character

[jasonsturges]

Think I'm experiencing an issue similar to #2575 attempting to sync from my Mac's local filesystem to s3:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0303' in position 11: ordinal not in range(128)
2017-07-29 00:49:40,775 - Thread-1 - awscli.customizations.s3.results - DEBUG - Error processing result QueuedResult(transfer_type='upload'

Without the --debug option, it appears to hang forever at "0 files", repeatedly trying the same operations while pummeling the network.

Within the folder I'm attempting to sync, there's a folder with the 'ñ' character in the name.

Sync command is simply:

aws s3 sync . s3://[bucket]/

Strange, as this folder exists in s3 - though I can't recall, it is possible that I initially uploaded it using the aws cp command instead of sync in the past.

Also strange is that adding --dryrun with sync works perfectly fine, correctly indicating a list of files to be uploaded.

Versions:

• aws-cli/1.11.94 Python/2.7.10 Darwin/15.6.0 botocore/1.5.57
• OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Thanks for the report! I've got a fix up for the unicode issue.

I just had similar issue, using zsh terminal.
Solution was to use bash terminal instead, just in case it can help anyone ...
