@Marvin I'm getting 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x8f in position 16299: character maps to <undefined> when trying to deploy on Windows OS

The error message you're encountering, "'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x8f," typically indicates a problem with character encoding. This often occurs when software tries to decode bytes using an incorrect character set. Since you're facing this issue on Windows while trying to deploy with Prefect, it might be related to how Python processes text in your environment. To better assist you, could you please confirm which version of Prefect you are using? Prefect 2.x or 3.x? This will help in providing the most accurate solution and documentation references.

hi @Youssef - can you share what exactly you're getting and what you ran when you got it?

Hi @Nate, when I do "prefect deploy" on WIndows I get the following error: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x8f in position 16299: character maps to <undefined> when trying to deploy on Windows OS The same prefect.yaml on MAC OC is functional

ok thank you - if you could, can you create an issue that includes the actual traceback you receive and the output of

prefect version

?

Hi @Nate I'm running the command through the Terminal on Pycharm. There is no traceback
