Description

The upload of a QGIS Python plugin (via website http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/add/) does not seem to work.
Trying to upload the plugin redirects me to an Error 500 page.
I was able to upload another plugin (experimental though) in the same session without an error.

Here a link to the plugin repository:

Can you reproduce the error?

Is sounds like a temporary server issue, we have had a few lately.

I just tried again and it still seems not to work.

Ok, so please:

1. attach the plugin
2. describe step by step how you upload the plugin (there are 3 different ways to do it)

Forget about it: found the issue.

Your zip file is probably corrupted and does not pass zipfile internal test made by the library. The error wasn't catched correctly, I'm going to upload a fix.

It still does not work... Same error.
I'm trying to upload here: https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/add/

The file is larger than the max 5MB you can upload here, but it's basically the ziped version of the repository minus all the git files.

Edit: Uploaded the zip to Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lse8g3eprwk7n07/QuizQGISPlugin.zip?dl=0

Now it's a different error.

Can you please attach the zip file you are trying to upload?

Without that I won't be able to track the issue.

I'm not able to download from dropbox (I have no account).

There is a nice feature that allows to upload an attachment here, please use it now.

I can't, since the upload limit is 5MB.
Can you download it from here: https://owncloud.hsr.ch/public.php?service=files&t=848272a9de9f37c13bb23c406c77ab27

The problem is with Belizè.png , zip function doesn't like unicode in file names.

I'm working on a fix, but in the meantime you can just rename that file and possibily other file names to ASCII.

You don't need an account to download. Just follow the link and press download.

Thanks Nathan, that's exactly what I did, but I was prompted for a login or create a new account.

It sounds like there is not an easy fix for this problem, python zip library support for unicode filenames is not complete because there is not a defined way to treat unicode file names in the zip format itself.

So, for now we don't accept unicode filenames in plugins and I've added a try/except block to catch the UnicodeDecodeError and now it should print a proper error message with the bad file name.
