Getting 'ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8' when using ghostbuster_facts

[Sher-Chowdhury]

Hello

I came across the following error when using ghostbuster_facts:

PUPPETDB_URL='http://localhost:8080/' HIERA_YAML_PATH='/tmp/hiera.yaml' find . -type f -
exec puppet-lint --only-checks ghostbuster_facts {} \+
Whoops! It looks like puppet-lint has encountered an error that it doesn't
know how to handle. Please open an issue at https://github.com/rodjek/puppet-lint
and paste the following output into the issue description.

I have the same issue. Is there any update on this?

Same parsing two different template files. Confirmed there are no invalid UTF-8 characters.
