Issue with Accented Characters in Script Paths Generated by [project.scripts] on Windows 11 (PT-BR)

[Jojojmo]

Description

Description:
When using Poetry on Windows 11 in Portuguese, the generated .cmd files for scripts defined in [project.scripts] contain paths with accented characters that are incorrectly encoded. As a result, when executing the command, the system is unable to locate the specified path.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Project Structure:

   C:.
   │   .venv
   │   poetry.lock
   │   pyproject.toml
   │   README.md
   │
   ├───example
   │       cli.py
   │       __init__.py
   │
   └───tests
           __init__.py
   

2. Contents of example/cli.py:

   from typer import Typer
   
   app = Typer()
   
   @app.command(name="hello")
   def Hello(nome: str):
       print(f"Hello, {nome}")
   
   if __name__ == '__main__':
       app()

3. Contents of pyproject.toml:

   [project]
   name = "example"
   version = "0.1.0"
   description = ""
   authors = [
       {name = "foo", email = "[email protected]"}
   ]
   readme = "README.md"
   requires-python = ">=3.12"
   dependencies = [
       "typer"
   ]
   
   [project.scripts]
   say-hello = "example.cli:app"
   
   [build-system]
   requires = ["poetry-core>=2.0.0,<3.0.0"]
   build-backend = "poetry.core.masonry.api"

4. Execution:
   Activate the virtual environment and run:

   say-hello "Word"

Expected Result:
The command say-hello "Word" should invoke the defined script, displaying the message Hello, Word or the corresponding behavior.

Observed Result:
The command fails with the following error message:

O sistema não pode encontrar o caminho especificado.

Translate:

The system cannot find the specified path.

Upon inspecting the file .venv\Scripts\say-hello.cmd (after removing the @echo off to view the commands), the content is as follows:

"C:\Users\jmoni\OneDrive\├ürea de Trabalho\scripts\clis-pyproject\example\.venv\Scripts\python.exe" "C:\Users\jmoni\OneDrive\Área de Trabalho\scripts\clis-pyproject\example\.venv\Scripts\\say-hello"

It can be observed that the folder Área de Trabalho appears as Área de Trabalho, indicating an encoding issue with accented characters.

Additional Notes:

• The problem seems to be related to how Poetry generates the .cmd files, not correctly handling the encoding of special characters present in the paths.
• This error occurs specifically in environments with the Portuguese locale (Windows 11 PT-BR).

---

Workarounds

To work around the issue with locating the .cmd executable due to incorrect encoding of accented characters on Windows, you can modify the file .venv\Scripts\say-hello.cmd by adding the following line at the beginning of the file:

chcp 65001 >nul

This line changes the code page. Although this solution works for this specific case, it may not be suitable as a universal fix for all scenarios.
