Have you run it with the --trace option as per the message to get any additional output? Did this point to anything in particular?

Hi there,

I am also getting exactly this error when trying to compile assets. Running it with --trace looks like this:

In case anyone else comes across this, my issue was not having the locale/encoding set.

This StackOverflow post solved it for me.

# from your command line
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Then compile assets again.

I'm getting the same error on Ubuntu 16.04.

Setting locale/encoding didn't help.
Tried setting RUBYOPT as recommended by another thread. Didn't help as well.
export RUBYOPT="-KU -E utf-8:utf-8"

Has anyone faced this? Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks.

Installing the python-software-properties package fixed the issue.

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

Thanks.
