Error using script action with non-ASCII character in API response

[nataliep-dmc]

I have an API GET function where the response contains some characters that are non-ASCII but are UTF-8 characters. Some examples of these characters are: –,¼,½,¾,“,”,Â,â,®. The function works fine when it has only a "tag" action, but when I add a "script" action to the function, I get the following error (with customer data redacted) and the script does not execute.

This looks like it might be a bug in the kyvislabs ScriptAction script library, that it is unable to parse the unicode character \u201d that was returned from the API call.

This is my YAML function:

getProduct:
    url: "{{var::baseUrl}}/Items/{{var::handler.itemId}}"
    method: get
    responseType: json
    actions:
      - action: tag
        path: "{{var::apiName}}/data/testproduct"
        type: jsonExpand
      - action: script
        project: global
        script: dev.logProduct
