Win8 in French, Jenkins ver. 1.574, Chrome Version 37.0.2062.58 beta-m
Description
When using Jenkins with MSBuild/MSTests, the output console and the plain text have encoding issues.
My OS is in French, so we use accents, which are not well displayed in Jenkins' MSBuild/MSTest output (see last line in the enclosed screenshot ; the word "Génération" became "G,n,ration")
The MS CMD output is said to be encoded in CP 850.
My Jenkins/SystemInfo, regarding encoding says :
file.encoding Cp1252
file.encoding.pkg sun.io
sun.io.unicode.encoding UnicodeLittle
sun.java.command C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jenkins.war --httpPort=8082 --ajp13Port=-1 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
sun.jnu.encoding Cp1252
I tried to use the "-Dfile.encoding=" argument with "UTF8","UTF-8", "Cp850" "ISO8859_1" but without any luck.
I guess as long as there will be differences between MSDOS/MSBuild's encoding and Jenkins' encoding, I won't be able to have proper outputs.

added a comment - Hello,
does the new chcp call has any impact on binary build output? Will my exe differ after calling chcp?
I have a Delphi build slave and it omplains about not finding chcp command. I know how to fix this and thought about any side effects.
Cheers

Cheers Hello,
This change won't impact the binary built by msbuild.
However, it changes the encoding of the log generated by msbuild. If anything in your build process parses this output, it will be impacted and might behave differently.
I hope this answers your question.

Cheers. Hello.
I was tried to use this solution but my problem keeping existing.
I use Windows server 2012 and jenkins.
My Windows has page code 860, i tried to charge to chcp 1252, to same from jenkins, not success...
I only need to output my logs with especial characteres(In portuguese PT-BR) to jenkins console.
I also tried to change jenkins xml, including this argument: "-Dfile.encoding=UTF8", like is instructed in this link: https://medium.com/pacroy/how-to-fix-jenkins-console-log-encoding-issue-on-windows-a1f4b26e0db4
No success also.
