Invalid base64-encoded string when trying to upload BufferedReader to Azure Blob Storage in Python

Question

Do you guys know what could be the error? when I try to upload the CSVS in a folder to the blob it throws in the first CSV:

Exception: Invalid base64-encoded string: number of data characters (85) cannot be 1 more than a multiple of 4

and I can't find a solution anywhere.

Does anyone know what could be the mistake here? It used to work before.

Thanks!

You can check the encoding of the csv data you are trying to upload:

import chardet
with open(csv_file,"rb") as data
chardet.detect(data) 

The output of chardet will be something like:

{'encoding': 'EUC-JP', 'confidence': 0.99}

The libary to detect encoding is: https://github.com/chardet/chardet . Then you can work on converting that encoding and try to upload again
