That means your config file is invalid. The plugin itself would not generate an invalid JSON file, so it would have to have been edited or changed somehow.

When the error doesn't show, it'll be valid. You can check if a .json file is valid JSON by using a site such as http://www.jsonlint.com

It wouldn't be possible for it to generate an invalid config file, so I'm not sure how you'd see the same error. Could you provide the full error that you are personally receiving?

Have you tried validating the file in a JSON editor? Sounds to me like there is ahidsen symbol from an editor or the encoding is wrong.

same issues, tried removing Promocodes.json and reloading plugin, used the json validator that you posted and says it's valid but i get this every time:

Unloaded plugin Promocodes v3.0.0 by LaserHydra
Promocodes v3.0.0: Failed to load config file (is the config file corrupt?) (Additional text found in JSON string after finishing deserializing object.)
Loaded plugin Promocodes v3.0.0 by LaserHydra

my config https://pastebin.com/Wb24sZfA
https://jsonlint.com/ comes back as valid json


what's the solution for this, anyone figure it out?

The Keys are working, you only have that message when the json is valid :)
