What does this PR do?

Normalize io.StringIO upload data to UTF-8 encoded bytes before calculating
Content-Length.

This keeps the declared length, transmitted body, and upload method selection
consistent for text uploads.

Why?

When Storage.upload() receives a str or io.StringIO containing non-ASCII
text, _get_stream_len() counts characters while the HTTP client sends UTF-8
bytes. Simple and resumable uploads can therefore send a shorter body and
silently truncate data.

The same mismatch can also cause UTF-8 content larger than 5 MiB in bytes to
be incorrectly selected for simple upload.

Fixes #469.

How was this tested?

  • AIO storage unit tests
  • Generated REST storage unit tests
  • Regression coverage for str and io.StringIO through simple and resumable uploads
  • Project pre-commit hooks, including pylint, mypy, and flake8

Normalizes str and io.StringIO uploads to UTF-8 bytes before calculating Content-Length. Adds regression tests for Unicode content, simple and resumable uploads, automatic selection, and nonzero stream positions.

Overall Judgement: ✅ Ready to merge — the implementation fixes byte-length calculation and includes targeted coverage for affected upload paths.

Walkthrough

Storage.upload now converts io.StringIO input to UTF-8 bytes before calculating content length for all supported runtimes. Tests cover direct and streamed Unicode uploads in simple and resumable modes.

Changes

Storage upload UTF-8 handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Normalize UTF-8 upload streams
storage/gcloud/aio/storage/storage.py, storage/tests/unit/upload_retry_test.py
Storage.upload converts io.StringIO streams to UTF-8 io.BytesIO streams before calculating content length. Tests identify simple and resumable requests, validate Unicode content, and cover nonzero stream positions.

Assessment against linked issues

Objective Addressed Explanation
[#469] Encode UTF-8 content before calculating upload length to prevent truncation. ✅

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 579d6

This change aligns declared upload length, transmitted UTF-8 bytes, and upload-mode selection for text uploads without changing public APIs or access behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

read only from the current cursor position before encoding, then wrap that
remaining text in BytesIO at position zero. Preserve the existing behavior for
byte streams and ensure partially consumed or EOF StringIO streams upload only
their unread remainder.

Cover automatic selection at the UTF-8 byte threshold.

These cases force SIMPLE or RESUMABLE, so they do not exercise _decide_upload_type() when force_resumable_upload is None. Add a payload whose UTF-8 byte length is just above MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH_SIMPLE_UPLOAD and assert that the resumable path is selected.

Based on the PR objective, automatic byte-based selection must be verified. As per path instructions, flag missing tests for non-trivial logic changes.
