Encoding problem in exception text output in IntelliJ IDEA

Question

this is my first question here. I have not found a solution to my specific problem here. The error text in Russian is displayed incorrectly in the SpringBoot application. What have I tried:

• Add

  <configuration> <executable>true</executable> <jvmArguments>-Dfile.encoding=UTF8</jvmArguments> </configuration>

in pom.xml

• Add

  -Dconsole.encoding=UTF-8 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

in Help > Edit Custom VM Options.

• Change project encoding and file encoding to UTF-8 in Settings.

In the screenshot, you can see how the same text is displayed in Postman and in the IDEA console.

Answer 1

I guess you are running your IntelliJ on Windows. Apparently UTF-8 has a bug there for cyrillic. Try to set the terminal to windows-1251: Bottom right in your screenshot is currently selected "UTF-8" click on that and under "more" you should be able to select windows-1251.
