(drizzle-kit) Unexpected character error

First time using drizzle, I have encountered

Unexpected "�"

Unexpected "�"

Unexpected "�"

Unexpected "�" error coming from

drizzle.config.ts

drizzle.config.ts

drizzle.config.ts

drizzle.config.ts when running

npx drizzle-kit generate

npx drizzle-kit generate

npx drizzle-kit generate

npx drizzle-kit generate (or any other

drizzle-kit

drizzle-kit

drizzle-kit

drizzle-kit command).
My drizzle.config.ts:

import "dotenv/config";
import { defineConfig } from "drizzle-kit";

export default defineConfig({
  out: "./drizzle",
  schema: "./db/schema.ts",
  dialect: "postgresql",
  dbCredentials: {
    url: process.env.DATABASE_URL!,
  },
});

import "dotenv/config";
import { defineConfig } from "drizzle-kit";

export default defineConfig({
  out: "./drizzle",
  schema: "./db/schema.ts",
  dialect: "postgresql",
  dbCredentials: {
    url: process.env.DATABASE_URL!,
  },
});

import "dotenv/config";
import { defineConfig } from "drizzle-kit";

export default defineConfig({
  out: "./drizzle",
  schema: "./db/schema.ts",
  dialect: "postgresql",
  dbCredentials: {
    url: process.env.DATABASE_URL!,
  },
});

import "dotenv/config";
import { defineConfig } from "drizzle-kit";

export default defineConfig({
  out: "./drizzle",
  schema: "./db/schema.ts",
  dialect: "postgresql",
  dbCredentials: {
    url: process.env.DATABASE_URL!,
  },
});

Here's the log of the error:

Must be some invisible character. Using VS code? What is the encoding of the file? Should be UTF-8. Delete the first line and retype it.

Ah, it was vscode indeed. Re-wrote the file in nvim and it works! Thanks.
