this is already a changed version of my config, in case it has anything to do with that.
at the moment where the error occurs the block with Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct
had a different order of keys, like that:

{
      "model": "Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct",
      "provider": "sambanova",
      "apiKey": "[INSERT_API_KEY]",
      "title": "Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct",
    }

but it took that from here: https://blog.continue.dev/qwencoder-sambanova/

because I don´t know this has anything to do with this config, I recorded them like the rest....

Hi @michabbb , I tried your config and things seemed to be working for me. Could you attempt to just set the single model value, quit the application, and reopen?

{
      "model": "Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct",
      "provider": "sambanova",
      "apiKey": "[INSERT_API_KEY]",
      "title": "Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct",
    }

[michabbb]

i think i know what´s happened here, at least I was able to reproduce it 😏

let´s assume you have multiple files already open:

• open the config
• add a "," somewhere at the end like this:

• without saving (STRG+S) switch to another open file (STRG+TAB)

BANG 💥 😏 you get the error that the JSON is wrong... which is correct, of course. i think this is exactly what happened here while I was editing the config. while editing I switched to another file to get something I wanted to add to the config 😏

so my suggestion here would be: if the JSON has errors, do not throw a regular exception but show a popup/modal notification saying: "hey, fix your config, it´s no valid JSON" 😏

[michabbb]

btw.... your example also has a "," at the end of "title", so actually you should get the exception as well 🤔
at least on my side I can reproduce this 💯 % 😏

[Patrick-Erichsen]

Got it, thanks for the reproduction! We are moving to a YAML based syntax for config pretty soon here which should resolve the issue altogether 😁

[michabbb]

I find JSON more convenient than YAML; its structure facilitates easier identification of problems. The use of whitespace and tabs does not hinder this process. PHPStorm's robust support simplifies JSON editing, readily highlighting any errors. My only suggestion would be to replace exception throwing with an error popup 😏
