Health check gives false warnings for Windows users

[petrenkonikita112263]

After executing Health check I get 2 warnings (informative):

• Language encoding could not be detected!
• System file encoding should be set to UTF-8! Currently using Cp1252.

On my W10 yes the default Cp1252, it can be checked from PowerShell

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> [System.Text.Encoding]::Default


IsSingleByte      : True
BodyName          : iso-8859-1
EncodingName      : Western European (Windows)
HeaderName        : Windows-1252
WebName           : Windows-1252
WindowsCodePage   : 1252
IsBrowserDisplay  : True
IsBrowserSave     : True
IsMailNewsDisplay : True
IsMailNewsSave    : True
EncoderFallback   : System.Text.InternalEncoderBestFitFallback
DecoderFallback   : System.Text.InternalDecoderBestFitFallback
IsReadOnly        : True
CodePage          : 1252

But this is the default (system) encoding https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1826771/encoding-cp1252

And Health Check expects to see UTF-8 that is default for Linux https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/112216/which-terminal-encodings-are-default-on-linux-and-which-are-most-common

My current (default) configurations of Windows 10 don't break my XWiki. And you can see from screen all settings for XWiki is set to UTF-8.

Minor update on it: after upgrading to RC-3 and re-scanning, I don't have any more mention regarding System file encoding, but still, I see Language encoding msg.

I haven't changed anything as configuration for my XWiki instance.

Concerning the warning of Language encoding, currently, the Admin Tools recognize it as the NULL value on the Windows side. If I export my configuration via an application, during this I'll get a warning in console

2024-04-29 11:41:50,389 [http-nio-7635-exec-3 - http://localhost:7635/xwiki/rest/admintools/files?files=xwikiConfig&files=xwikiProperties&files=dataProvider&files=logs&from=28-04-2024&to=29-04-2024] WARN  c.x.a.i.d.SecurityDataProvider - Failed to access language or work directory environment variables.

And open the file configuration_json.txt

{security={configurationEncoding=UTF-8, fileEncoding=UTF-8, PWD=null, activeEncoding=UTF-8, LANG=null}, configuration={databaseName=PostgreSQL, osVersion=10.0, usedServerName=Apache Tomcat, javaVersion=21.0.2, xwikiVersion=16.3.0-rc-1, osArch=amd64, tomcatConfPath=D:\apache-tomcat-9.0.84/conf/server.xml, xwikiCfgPath=D:\apache-tomcat-9.0.84/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/, usedServerVersion=9.0.84, osName=Windows 10, databaseVersion=16.1}}

I can't find any configuration concerning LANG in XWiki page, moreover there's no line concerning this in xwiki.properties inside section # Environment.

I think this value has to be excluded from the scan and recording into json file.
