How to fix encoding error?

On Windows the console encoding may not be specified when running as service accounts (e.g. GitLab CI). This can lead to unicode encoding errors:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 18-24: character maps to <undefined>

To fix this error, you can force UTF-8 encoding using the PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 environment variable before running Gonto.

Powershell:

$env:PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8
.\gonto.exe ...

CMD.exe:

set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8
.\gonto.exe ...
