I have found the problem. check the angular.json file.

"assets": [
              "src/favicon.ico",
              "src/assets",
            ],
            "styles": [
              "src/styles.css",
              "./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css",
              "./node_modules/@nebular/theme/styles/prebuilt/default.css",
            ],

just remove the comma after “src/assets” and “…default.css” like below:

"assets": [
              "src/favicon.ico",
              "src/assets"
            ],
            "styles": [
              "src/styles.css",
              "./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css",
              "./node_modules/@nebular/theme/styles/prebuilt/default.css"
            ],

then will fix the problem. Somehow if the comma is in js code it will work. But not here.

Thanks to @xlxAciDxlx !

Perhaps an issue with the encoding of angular.json, it’s just a guess based on other related issues. Try converting your angular.json file to utf-8 without BOM and see if that helps. And of course verify that angular.json contains only valid json 😃

@hitokiri May be you need to check the other positons that not same as my. Or just use the JSONLint tool mentioned by @xlxAciDxlx

leoliuasia on May 23, 2018

I’ll try it to see if it works for me.

leoliuasia on May 22, 2018

Alright, my issue’s fixed. It appears the error’s caused by something being wrong in angular.json - I must’ve missed it when manually looking through my files. I threw it in JSONLint and it immediately threw an error. You can obviously do this for other files, but I’m going to assume this error is mainly caused by angular.json.

It looks like not just me had the problem

When I searched for the issue (to see if it already existed), yours was the first of many that had come up.

but not sure where it is

Yeah, same issue here. Running a linter and tsc all work fine, it just seems to be generating things that’s broken for me.
