Description

@BrightRan @al-cheb @robinmatz
I am experiencing some issues related to the locale settings inside a GitHub Actions pipeline. I am trying to run test cases with pt_BR.CP1252 locale

    steps:
      - name: SetLocale
        run: |
          sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install tzdata locales -y   
          sudo localedef -f CP1252 -i /usr/share/i18n/locales/pt_BR /usr/lib/locale/pt_BR.CP1252
          sudo locale-gen pt_BR.UTF-8      
          sudo locale-gen pt_BR.CP1252
          sudo locale-gen
          locale -a
          echo "Actual locale"
          locale
          echo "Actual numeric settings"
          locale -c -k LC_NUMERIC
          echo "LANG Variable"
          echo "$LANG"
          echo "LocaleCtl"
          localectl status

i am getting this error:
Error: 'pt_BR.CP1252' is not a supported language or locale

Is it regression?

I don't know

Expected behavior

that install the locale normally

Actual behavior

Error: 'pt_BR.CP1252' is not a supported language or locale

Hey! I guess you have not added your locale to the /etc/locale.gen file before actually calling the locale-gen command. locale-get invocations do not accept arguments

Thank you for your help.

I updated like this and now it seems to be working

  steps:
      - name: SetLocale
        run: |
          sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install tzdata locales -y   
          sudo localedef -f CP1252 -i /usr/share/i18n/locales/pt_BR /usr/lib/locale/pt_BR.CP1252
          sudo echo 'pt_BR.CP1252 CP1252' | sudo tee -a /etc/locale.gen > /dev/null  
          sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/i18n
          sudo touch /usr/local/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
          sudo echo 'pt_BR.CP1252 CP1252' | sudo tee -a /usr/local/share/i18n/SUPPORTED > /dev/null  
          sudo locale-gen pt_BR.UTF-8      
          sudo locale-gen pt_BR
          sudo locale-gen
          locale -a
          echo "Actual locale"
          locale
          echo "Actual numeric settings"
          locale -c -k LC_NUMERIC
          echo "LANG Variable"
          echo "$LANG"
          echo "LocaleCtl"
          localectl status

@insinfo, if you don't mind, I will convert this issue to a discussion, since it better suits general or non image related topics
