[peterz84]

I have a settings.json in my project and the ALCompile step now fails. I must be overlooking something:

I bet it's the comments in these arrays:

[waldo1001]

VSCode JSON compiler also complains about it:

[waldo1001]

PowerShell also errors out with the comments...

[waldo1001]

Were you able to fix this?

[peterz84]

It looks like this was the problem. Which is weird, I thought I tried to remove these 2 lines before, which didn't help. Anyway, I'm getting the following error now. Should I open a new ticket for this one?

Yes please, and provide a yaml as well.
