Inputs.exec invalid character

I am running a config file that only has 1 input in it for inputs.exec and it keeps failing. The error is:

[inputs.exec] Error in plugin: invalid character ‘o’ in literal false (expecting ‘a’)

Does anyone have any suggestions what this may be? I am able to run the same script outside of telegraf so it must be with what I am printing but I don’t have any special characters in my print statement that I would think would error it. Neither debug nor test mode are giving anymore help.

The issue turned out to be missing config in the .conf file. We didn’t specify a data_format.
