Special character in lms.env.yml

Development

Hi all,

I am trying the first time setup for the Open edX development and I run into this error when I try

tutor dev launch

yaml.reader.ReaderError: unacceptable character #x001b: special characters are not allowed
in “/openedx/config/lms.env.yml”, position 166

Running on Windows 11, Docker WSL2

#x001b is an escape character and is invisible. You should check your <TUTOR_ROOT>/env/apps/openedx/config/lms.env.yml for any escape characters and remove them.

This answer I found could be of some help:
