Hi,

This block is causing the error below. If I remove that block of code,
the state runs. Any ideas?

Somewhere in that block of code there is an invisible unicode
non-breaking space (U+00A0 is http://graphemica.com/00A0). Try using
an editor that can show whitespace characters to find out where, or
just type it all out again. Don't copy because you could unwittingly
copy the non-breaking space character.
