[BUG] WordType.word() not compatible with non-ASCII characters

[File14]

Describe the bug
Non-ASCII commands are no longer working after the 1.19 commits. For example, the Swedish letters "å", "ä", and "ö" are no longer working with the WordType.word() argument type.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Type a command containing a letter such as "ö" (WordType.word()).
2. Screenshot of the error.

Expected behavior
The command should be executed as usual since it is supported by greedy strings.
See code here.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Java Version [17]
• Platform [PaperMC]
• Platform Version [1.19.2]
• Chimera Version [5.4.2]

Hey there, thanks for reporting the issue. This seems like an interesting one. Only executing a command with non-ASCII charterers in-game causes an issue. Executing the same command from console seems to work fine. This probably indicates that Paper/Spigot internally changed some command-related stuff.

By any chance, do you know which build your plugin was last working and/or which build your plugin started to fail?

After further investigation, this issue is linked to how only commands issued by players are routed to directly to the native CommandDispatcher in 1.19.

Looking into the issue, I don't think it's possible to continue supporting non-ASCII characters the way we do, it's just impossible with the changes made to Spigot in 1.19. I'll try to see if Spigot is willing to accept a patch that will resolve this issue, but no guarantees. In the worst case scenario, WordType.word() will no longer be supported.

See https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/browse/SPIGOT-7187 for more updates.

Seeing that there hasn't been any progress on that issue, WordType.word() will probably be deprecated. Recent changes to Spigot simply makes it impossible to do so.

WordType.word() is now deprecated for removal in 5.5.0
