Device Farm test setup fails due to 'ascii' codec can't decode byte

0

I am trying to run Appium Python tests for Android devices. However, my test setup fails with the following error: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xcc in position 58: ordinal not in range(128). My tests run locally just fine, and from the limited information in the logs here I'm unable to decipher where the problem lies. What steps can I take to troubleshoot this issue?

Entirety of test setup log is below:

  • Hi. Can you share the test code that causes the problem?

The problem was some unused files that someone had snuck into the repo (specifically a .xlsx file). Removing those files from the test bundle solved the issue.
