Description
I create a file manually and named if template.json
I did some token replacement and saved it using this command
`Out-File -FilePath $templateFile -InputObject $updatedContents`
Whatever output PS outputs is not recognized by `az repos policy create --config
` - probably UTF-8
I changed it to ASCII encoding and it worked fine
`Out-File -FilePath $templateFile -InputObject $updatedContents -Encoding ASCII`
**Command Name**
`az repos policy create
Extension Name: azure-devops. Version: 0.26.0.`
**Errors:**
```
The command failed with an unexpected error. Here is the traceback:
Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
