Docker-compose failure with codec exception

Open Source Projects Compose
1

Whenever I’m running docker compose I’m getting a failure. Currently, my compose yaml is very very simple:

    version: '3'
services:
    mongo-poc:
        image: "mongo:3.2"
        ports:
         - "27017:27017"

I run the following compose:

bash-3.2$ docker-compose up –d
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "docker-compose", line 6, in <module>
  File "compose/cli/main.py", line 68, in main
  File "compose/cli/main.py", line 121, in perform_command

  File "compose/project.py", line 428, in up

  File "compose/project.py", line 666, in __init__
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
Failed to execute script docker-compose

I have Docker for Mac installed:

    bash-3.2$ docker version

   bash-3.2$ docker-compose version

docker-py version: 2.6.1
CPython version: 2.7.12
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.0.2j  26 Sep 2016

I cannot figure out what is wrong and why this is failing.

what editor did you use to create the file? needs to be ascii text

Intellij. That isn’t the issue. If I change to use Edge, I don’t have any issues.

You’re probably running into this issue: https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/3806

The current workaround is to make sure you don’t have non-ASCII characters in your docker-compose.yml - even in comments.
The next Compose release (1.20.0) may help with this.

i think your problem is the command you use
docker-compose up –d
docker-compose up -d
pls use the below one instead.
