cdqr breaks on unicode characters about cdqr

[orlikoski]

Looks like there is an issue with the python unzip library and not an issue with CDQR coding itself. Recommend users unzip manually files that affected by the issue with python while how to get around it is researched

@davidrudduck does the zip file get unzipped correctly by unzip or other tools?

[davidrudduck]

@orlikoski yes, unzip worked fine.

my CyLR collection list is a lot longer than the defaults so it's possible that one of the files I collect is unicode encoded and causing grief to the python based unzip library.

Definitely good to know and this issue getting documented will help others who have run into the same problem as well as a solution to it. If it becomes a major issue we can research other options than the python zip library

Just encountered the same issue with the docker version. Didn't understand how to solve it ?
