Carto parser fails with conditionals in autostyling

When set autostyling, the maps api fails in some cases like this example:

#layer {
 [mapnik-geometry-type=point] {
    marker-fill: #FF6600;
    marker-opacity: 1;
    marker-width: 12;
    marker-line-color: white;
    marker-line-width: 3;
    marker-line-opacity: 0.9;
    marker-placement: point;
    marker-type: ellipse;marker-allow-overlap: true;
  }
 }

With the autostyling it is changed to this:

#layer { polygon-fill: ramp([type], (#7F3C8D, #11A579), ('FRANCE', 'ESPAÑA')); 

 [mapnik-geometry-type=point] {
    marker-opacity: 1;
    marker-width: 12;
    marker-line-color: white;
    marker-line-width: 3;
    marker-line-opacity: 0.9;
    marker-placement: point;
    marker-type: ellipse;marker-allow-overlap: true;
  }
 }

If you remove the conditional [] in the initial styles it seems to work and if you copy and rewrite the variable with the devtools it works too with exactly the same string.

Could it be an encoding error?

It is an encoding error, with the ASCII character 160.

It seems to be in the whole project, there is 99 in @CartoDB/cartodb.

We can avoid it, but it is very common… you can put it with alt + space

@saleiva but the error with the ‘#’ char is in a field of the table, this is a CartoCSS problem.

I can’t reproduce the #463 issue as I explained there.
