   It appears that a qt depends build fails when emojis are in the path. I tested this by replacing the ci root path: sed -i 's/ci_container_base/ci_container_🖥️/g' $( git grep -l ci_container_base )

   Example output:

   I guess someone should test this against qt and report an issue or fix upstream. Closing for now.

   Was Qt the only thing preventing using a path like this?

   Yeah, I guess so. MAKEJOBS="-j$(nproc)" FILE_ENV="./ci/test/00_setup_env_native_qt5.sh" ./ci/test_run_all.sh (system qt) passes.
