SyntaxError: Unexpected token } in JSON at position 471.

Hi, when trying to run rtl for the first time I'm getting an error:

[10/28/2022, 9:36:09 PM] ERROR: Config => Something went wrong while configuring the node server:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token } in JSON at position 471.
file:///home/yoygurt1/rtl/backend/utils/config.js:344
                throw new Error(err);
                      ^
Error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token } in JSON at position 471

This is after installing rtl version v0.13.1-beta-maintenance on a Ubuntu Server with LND.

Any ideas on how to correct this? Thanks

Hi @cliffpeskin can you share your RTL-Config.json after masking any sensitive info? It appears to be a config syntax issue

Yes for sure (pasted below). As an aside, although running linux server I used the command node rtl to run RTL as I was having some issues with systemd.

It is not a valid JSON as one { is missing at the start of the file.

[cliffpeskin]

Sorry I did a bad copy/paste job the first { is in there it's just off to the right.

[ShahanaFarooqui]

Please remove trailing comma , at the end of swapMacaroonPath value.

Good eye, thanks @ShahanaFarooqui and @saubyk !! All good now.
