Hi there, I am trying to rebuild, and without known changes (suspect syncthing may have brought in a bad file) I am getting this error:
error: [json.exception.parse_error.101] parse error at line 173, column 17: syntax error while parsing object - unexpected string literal; expected '}'
But it has not file reference, so I do not even know which file to look at. How would you go about troubleshooting this?
Cheers.
Random guess: if you use flakes, is your flake.lock broken?
Otherwise, do you use any json files in your config?

it was the lock
file. I have json files, but had already checked them. I totally forgot the lock
file was json. 
This got me to another error, but the original is not longer a thing.
Use a proper VCS (like git) for managing code, not file syncing
Or you’ll continue to have problems like this.

I do, but sometimes I’m finished work is still synced over because I move back-and-forth between my systems.
