Bug #86443	Mysql Workbench crash/error while opening saved model
Submitted:	24 May 2017 13:36	Modified:	24 May 2017 18:25
Reporter:	Rafał K	Email Updates:
Status:	Duplicate	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	6.3.9	OS:	Linux (Arch Antergos)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	crash, locale, workbench

Description:
Workbench crash when opening model file with "locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid"

OS: Linux Arch Antergos
Locale: pl_PL

How to repeat:
Open workbech by opening a mwb file - crash with:
unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler:
what: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

Opening workbench and then doing File Open Model - alert:
"Failed to open model:
locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid"

Suggested fix:
Message the user that "en_US" (or any other) locale is missing in your system.

How to fix (in my case):

edit /etc/locale.gen
add en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
execute: locale-gen - to regenerate locales

Thank you for the bug report. Please provide (attach using Files tab) a model file which provoke the issue reported. Thanks.

newly created - the same problem without en_US.UTF8 locale

Attachment: test.mwb (application/vnd.mysql-workbench-model, text), 4.47 KiB.

Starting workbench with file:
$ mysql-workbench test.mwb 
Workbench can't find libproj.so, some options may be unavailable.

Ready.

$ echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen; locale-gen

After adding US locale everything works, i know that most distro probably have English locales enabled, but not everyone and i lost like 7h total because of this small but unknown problem.

Maybe someone else had this problem that's why i did open this bug.
