Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

The line number may be a little off since I have modified the file for logging purposes. This happens when trying to run Marionette Tests in JavaScript on device. Apparently it happens when trying to parse the list of preference files. 

Adding the code below at the top of the class fixes the issue but I am not sure if that would have implications on the rest of the application. 


import sys

reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')

I tried encoding the strings myself but it bubbles up to causing another method to break from encoding errors.
