Terraspace up <layer> crashes with error Exception ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8

Hi

On running
terraspace up

The log shows a crash with the following exception:
error Exception ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8

Is there anyway to get any debug from terraspace on this?
I can run terraform apply from the .terraspace-cache folder without issue and terraspace plan seems to work without issue.

Full exception stack below:

Wondering if can get an example repo that reproduces this. Thanks.

I’ve seen this error on Terraform plan sometimes.

I’ve traced it to what appear to be unprintable/non-UTF-8 characters appearing in terraform output. You might like to try passing in terraforms -no-color option which may help.

If the --no-color option helps. Wondering if this should be an default setting in a future terraspace release. :face_with_monocle: Just thinking about. Thanks for the report.
