Unicodedecode error when catalog names contains unicode characters

[dals83]

I have a catalog index which contains names with the letters 'æøå'. However when I use these catalog index names for faceted search I get a unicodedecode error.

I have added the stack trace below:

@dals83 Which Plone, which eea.facetednavigation version, which faceted widget?

Can also please export faceted navigation configuration to XML and provide it here?!

Thank you!

Hi @avoinea,

Sorry for late reply. But here it goes:

• Plone version: 5.0.6
• eea.facetedversion 10.3
• Widget: select

And I have added a zippet version of the configuration XML.
facetednavigation-config.zip

I can confirm this issue with version 10.8 and Plone 5.1rc2 and the radio-widget. It happens when the values for the widget are taken from the catalog (not from a vocabulary) and one of them has a ü.

Still an issue here. In this case I have a KeywordIndex used for checkboxes. Customer used an umlaut (ü) in the value. This stopped the Javascript working at all and so broke the whole faceted navigation.

I use Plone 5.1.2 and eea.facetednavigation 11.1
