Unexpected token l in JSON

[asos-danielc]

Hi!

Version: 1.36.4
Mac OS Intel

It looks like an automatic update has been applied and am getting the following error on startup/update

[2022-11-29 22:35:47.420] [warn] SyntaxError: Unexpected token l in JSON at position 1229
    at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
    at t.JSONFile.read (/Applications/Kit.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/main.prod.js:2:2144327)

Is anyone else see this?

Please quit Kit.app and check that the .json files in:

~/.kit/db

have valid json in them.

It's possible a file got out of sync with Kit.app.

Please share the contents if you find it!

After you share the file, you can safely delete all the .json files in ~/.kit/db then re-open Kit.app. It will re-create them.

If nothing is obvious in the .json, please check the logs here for any errors:

~/.kit/logs/kit.log
~/Library/Logs/Kit/main.log
~/Library/Logs/Kit/update.log

Please let me know what you find. I'd love to get this sorted out.

Are you able to confirm what the structure should look like?

[asos-danielc]

Removing the following is all I needed to fix it 👍🏻

lC/.kenv/scripts/open-service-now-ticket.js": {
        "x": 640,
        "y": 182,
        "width": 768,

      },

        "width": 768,
        "height": 480
      }
    }
  },
  "clear": false
}

Thank you @johnlindquist for your help! Love this tooling!

[johnlindquist]

Awesome, thanks so much for sharing. I know exactly what caused that. I'll get it fixed for the next build
