`Unexpected token } in JSON` while tns plugin add nativescript-geolocation

[fabioaraujo121]

I'm at Nativescript-vue and I'm trying to install, just using: tns plugin add nativescript-geolocation

After I do that I got this answer:

npm ERR! Unexpected token } in JSON at position 348292 while parsing near '...ymyKxBk="
npm ERR!     }
npm ERR!   }
npm ERR! }

Hi @fabioaraujo121 I can't reproduce such issue. Here's what I did:

tns create my-blank-vue --template tns-template-blank-vue
cd my-blank-vue
tns plugin add nativescript-geolocation

and received a Successfully installed plugin nativescript-geolocation response. Let me know if I am missing something. Also, can you try to remove your package-lock.json file, before trying to add this plugin as it may also be related to this issue?

Hi @tgpetrov Remove the package-lock.json solved the problem.

Thanks for help! :D
