Ending a script block with a comment line errors out

See original GitHub issue

Not a problem in real life scenarios but ending a script block with a comment terminates the script’s execution with a fatal error.

Example

### Health check
{{BASE_URL}}/checks/health

{{
  console.log('I will be outputted')
  // I have a feeling this will not end well
}}

prompt$ httpyac --env prod --all ./requests/system/health-check.http 
js:   console.log('I will be outputted')
  // I have a feeling this will not end well
