Error executing task write() argument must be str, not bytes | MySQL Workbench

Question

After a clean install of Windows 10 when I started to use MySQL workbench I have this error when I try to dump a database.

I could not find anything about it anywhere, the only thing I find are problems with phyton, but nothing related with Workbench.

Output after dumping a database:

08:29:00 Dumping foo(all tables)
Error executing task write() argument must be str, not bytes
08:29:01 Export of b'C:\Users\erick\Documents\dumps\Dump20210121 (2).sql' has finished

And the output file is in blank, some ideas?

Answer 1

If you have the latest MySQL Workbench (8.0.23), just uninstall and install MySQL Workbench 8.0.20. That worked for me.
