Invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 (ArgumentError)

Hi,

I’m getting this result when I do “vagrant up” when trying to setup Trellis::

jncunha@DESKTOP-2ID4D88:/mnt/e/dev/multishop/trellis$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...

Already tried to re-install Vagrant and VirtualBox (multiple versions).

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Is this a Trellis + Bedrock install without any modifications? If not, have you tried that first?

Yes it’s a Trellis + Bedrock installation without modifications. Just following the documentation. I tried installing different versions of Vagrant and even VirtualBox to try to solve but I still can’t run it on Windows. I have downgraded Ansible to 2.7.11 from 2.8 too. I barely have Linux debugging skills so its hard for me to figure this out.

Per the troubleshooting section on Documentation | Docs | Roots can you try using 2.5.1?

Sorry that it’s such a pain to get setup in Windows right now

Are you also using the vagrant.exe alias as mentioned in that getting started doc?

I just tried downgrading Ansible to version 2.5.1. I also re-installed the latest version of Vagrant. I’m also using the vagrant.exe alias. Despite this I still get the same error.

Does anything in this issue help?
