Tasklist app web page is blank - Invalid character found in method name exception

I running C8 (v8.1.8) using the following Docker compose project: GitHub - camunda/camunda-platform: Camunda Platform 8

I am running the core stack using the following command: docker-compose -f docker-compose-core.yaml up -d

I can see the Operate web app no problem, but when I try and load the Tasklist app I get a totally blank web page. In the Docker logs, I see the following exception:

I also met the same problem, can you write down the solution here, thanks @Justin_Phillips

I face the same problem. Can someone post the solution here?

There is an impending fix for this. See the following Slack thread for the latest: Slack

Is there a workaround for completing user tasks while it gets fixed? For example for performing the steps in this tutorial: GitHub - camunda/camunda-platform-get-started: Camunda Platform 8 - Get Started Projects

I have tested this with 8.1.9 and it is fixed.
