I had a similar issue. Had to set the encoding to UTF-8 without BOM (using Notepad++). Issue solved.

TSD is trying to read the settings.json file. Could you send me this file?

Ok, could you attach this file here or send to me by email ([email protected]). I think this could be a problem with the file encode. Having the original file I'll be able to test it on my environment.

I am having same issue. I am not sure where to define the encoding?

vijay-karajgikar picture vijay-karajgikar on 10 Jan 2016

@vijay-karajgikar Notepad++ -> Encoding menu.

Thank you, that was a head scratcher.

In VisualStudio: File -> Advanced Save Options -> Unicode (UTF-8 without signature) - Codepage 65001

This is no longer an issue. Closing.
