Why do I get a MalformedInputException from this code?

Answer 1

From the JavaDoc:

MalformedInputException thrown when an input byte sequence is not legal for given charset, or an input character sequence is not a legal sixteen-bit Unicode sequence.

Pass the currect encoding as parameter to Source.fromFile method.

Answer 2

You can handle this character encoding exception by adding below snippet in your code

import scala.io.Codec
import java.nio.charset.CodingErrorAction


implicit val codec = Codec("UTF-8")
codec.onMalformedInput(CodingErrorAction.REPLACE)
codec.onUnmappableCharacter(CodingErrorAction.REPLACE)
