Step file generated from powershell throws error on collection - not UTF-8 encoded

まず、PowerShell で pytest-bdd generate features/installer.feature > installer_step_definitions/test_installer_steps.py を再現し、次に pytest を実行して生成されたファイルのエンコーディングを確認します。PowerShell の出力を cmd の出力および手動で変換したバージョンと比較します。完了の条件は、生成された step ファイルが pytest のコレクション中に null バイトやエンコーディングのエラーなしで受け入れられることです。

Generate in powershell with: with: pytest-bdd generate features/installer.feature > installer_step_definitions/test_installer_steps.py
Run with: pytest

OBS: During test collection error occurs as below. The same file test_installer_steps.py created in VS code and the same code pasted from Notepad++ works.

Note: If I create file by hand and overwrite it by auto generated file this happens:

Original encoding

When I convert to UTF-8 it works fine or if I run in cmd

VS Code encoding is UTF-8
