Dunno if this is a bug or anything but wanted to share this.
When spinning up a new project, we can’t use admin_user: @username as the @ character in front of the username as vagrant up isn’t allowing it.
The error is “found character that cannot start any token while scanning for the next token”
I use @ to separate the admin users from the woocommerce order users easily (@admins get to the top of the list) but tend to do this on non woocomerce sites aswell. :)grin:
A workaround for this is to fire up the production server first and create the @user at setup, then migrate the production server db to development environment and continue to work there.
Facepalm… yes that’s the proper way of doing it. 
Thanks.
