Publish python script containing umlauts as a Geoprocessing Service to ArcGIS Server via ArcGIS Pro is cut off

Hi everyone,

when I try to publish a python script containing umlauts as a Geoprocessing Service to the ArcGIS Standalone Server via ArcGIS Pro, the publishing process is successful (no error/warning), but the published script is cut off at the first umlaut.

The script I'm publishing:

import arcpy # Hello Wörld arcpy.AddMessage("Hello Wörld")

The published script ("\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\TestPublishGP.GPServer\extracted\p20\testpublishgp\TestPublishGP.py") looks like this:

import arcpy # Hello W

If I publish the same script via ArcMap 10.8.1 everything works just fine. We're switching to ArcGIS Pro, so using ArcMap is not an option.

ArcGIS-Server: 10.9.1
ArcGIS Pro: 2.8.6
Python: 3.7.10

How can i solve this problem?

Does it work if you specify a coding that works with umlauts?

# -*- coding: cp1252 -*- import arcpy # ÄäÖöÜüß arcpy.AddMessage("ÄäÖöÜüß")

Hi Johannes,

thank you for your suggestion. I tried your script and unfortunately it didn't work.

The script I'm publishing:

# -*- coding: cp1252 -*- import arcpy # ÄäÖöÜüß arcpy.AddMessage("ÄäÖöÜüß")

The published script ("\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\TestPublishGP.GPServer\extracted\p20\testpublishgp\TestPublishGP.py") looks like this:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import arcpy #

Interestingly he changes the encoding string during/after the publishing process to utf-8.
I am surprised that the comments aren't ignored. (The script is cut off at the first umlaut in the comment in line 4).

Greetings
