Bad encoding experience #456
Description
Node version:
6.1.0
ShellJS version (the most recent version/Github branch you see the bug on):
0.7.0
Operating system:
Windows 10
Description of the bug:
Due to Node.js default behavior about encoding, all standard output will be transformed hard to utf-8. However, the default encoding of CMD is based on default lang of Windows, which means once you send command to non-utf8 terminal you will get non-utf8 output with utf-8 buffer string. That would probably irreversible, at least in my case in Chinese GB2312 (or Windows-936) encoding. Using iconv cannot revert the output again.
Example ShellJS command to reproduce the error:
sh.exec('dir', function(code, stdout, stderr) {
console.log(stdout)
}The output will be something like this:
