JsonLint Parsing Exception

[nchishti]

When I run:
composer require mtolhuys/laravel-schematics

I keep getting the following error:

[Seld\JsonLint\ParsingException] "./composer.lock" does not contain valid JSON Parse error on line 742: "time": "2020-02-25T ---------------------^ Expected one of: 'EOF', '}', ':', ',', ']'

Any ideas why?

Hi @nchishti ,

It seems like your composer.lock contains some invalid JSON. You could remove it rm composer.lock and run composer install afterwards.

Yep that fixed it. Thank you.
