Description
Describe the problem
VS Code, Theia, and IDE2 use a relaxed version of JSON for storing the settings in the settings.json
file: https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/languages/json#_json-with-comments
If I have the following settings.json
content, it is entirely valid but does not work on the IDE2's backend:
JSONC:
VS.
JSON:
{
// "arduino.cli.daemon.debug": false
// it's an invalid json
}
To reproduce
There are multiple silent problems, but here is a user-facing bug:
- Enable
arduino.sketch.inoBlueprint
and verify that it works:| when you create a new sketch, your preferred default.ino
content is used for the new sketch. - Open the
settings.json
and command out any other preference with//
. - Restart IDE2 and create a new sketch. IDE2 creates the new sketch with the default content, not the user-defined one.
Expected behavior
- IDE2 backend can handle JSONC in settings.json, not only JSON.
- The suboptimal setting parsing on the IDE2 backend is single-sourced.
