[CLOSED] Error Reading Preferences - not valid JSON #12034

Open core-ai-bot opened 3 years ago

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Issue by milkymeda Friday May 17, 2019 at 08:30 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/14792

I'm trying to change the PHP "executablePath" in order to get PHP Tooling support and I got this error:

Your preferences file is not valid JSON. Please fix the format.

Here is my brackets.json:

 {
    "brackets-eslint.gutterMarks": true,
    "brackets-eslint.useLocalESLint": false,
    "fonts.fontSize": "13px",
    "fonts.fontFamily": "'SourceCodePro-Medium', ＭＳ ゴシック, 'MS Gothic', monospace",
    "themes.theme": "monokai-plus-theme",
    "livedev.multibrowser": false,
    "useTabChar": false,
    "themes.themeScrollbars": true,
    "extensions.sort": "downloadCount"
    "php": {
        // Default: true
        "enablePhpTooling": true,

        // Default: php
        "executablePath": "C:\xampp\php\php.exe",

        // Default: 4095M
        "memoryLimit": "4095M",

        // Default: false
        "validateOnType": "true"
    },
}

I've tried different things like adding only this line, with/without the comma etc.

"executablePath": "C:\xampp\php\php.exe",

But none of them worked. What could be the problem?

Thank you.

You can't have comments in brackets.json. Removing them should fix it. You can refer to this in case you have any doubts. https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/14783 Let us know if there are still any issues you face.

Unfortunately, it did not work. Here is the current state of brackets.json:

{
    "brackets-eslint.gutterMarks": true,
    "brackets-eslint.useLocalESLint": false,
    "fonts.fontSize": "13px",
    "fonts.fontFamily": "'SourceCodePro-Medium', ＭＳ ゴシック, 'MS Gothic', monospace",
    "themes.theme": "monokai-plus-theme",
    "livedev.multibrowser": false,
    "useTabChar": false,
    "themes.themeScrollbars": true,
    "extensions.sort": "downloadCount",
    "php": {
    "executablePath": "C:\xampp\php\php.exe",
    "validateOnType": "true"
    }
}

@milkymeda You have to put executablePath like such "C:\\xampp\\php\\php.exe" to escape backslash.

    "validateOnType": "true"
    }
}

I am having same issue here and I added this code but my Brackets still having the issue of resetting itself after lunching.

I still get the default theme and font size whenever I restart.

Secondly, it still takes me to this JSON error page instead of my previous project.

Any help on how to solve this?

Thanks

@marshalnosa Have you used valid JSON? Can you share your preferences.json?

@marshalnosa Have you used valid JSON? Can you share your preferences.json?

@sprintr, I can't find the preference.json file here.

How do I go about that?

Hi, Getting "error reading preferences" - "Your preferences file is not valid JSON."

Anyone know what is wrong with it ?

{ "brackets-eslint.gutterMarks": true, "brackets-eslint.useLocalESLint": false, "fonts.fontSize": "14px", "fonts.fontFamily": "hack, 'SourceCodePro-Medium', ＭＳ ゴシック, 'MS Gothic', monospace", "themes.theme": "os-x-style-flat-dark-theme", "useTabChar": true, "tabSize": 3, "linting.collapsed": true, "linting.ESLint.collapsed": false, "linting.JSLint.collapsed": true, "livedev.multibrowser": true, }

@saohlsen I think you need to remove the trailing comma from the last line:

"livedev.multibrowser": true

I have a similar problem... 

"brackets-eslint.gutterMarks":` true,
"brackets-eslint.useLocalESLint": false,
"fonts.fontSize": "12px",
"fonts.fontFamily": "'SourceCodePro-Medium', ＭＳ ゴシック, 'MS Gothic', monospace",
"themes.theme": "monokai-darkness-reborn",

I am still getting an error

There is an error in first line... "brackets-eslint.gutterMarks":` true, you have to remove that single invited comma in front of true
