[BUG] 'Expected \'}\' instead of \'.\' at line 1 column 1015 of the JSON5 data. Still to read: ".\\"CREATE\\",\\"resourceT"'

Overview of the issue

Trying to run compodoc over my existing application produces the following error. the stacktrace doesn’t yield a lot of info:

I’ve tried removing all the code in feature-input.component.ts and it yields the same error so I don’t think that’s where the problem is

Operating System, Node.js, npm, compodoc version(s)

Windows 7, node 6.11.1, npm 3.10.10, ng-cli 1.2.6, compodoc 1.0.3

Angular configuration, a package.json file in the root folder

not exactly sure what you’re looking for here but these are the versions we’re using

@angular/cli: 1.2.6
node: 6.11.1
os: win32 x64
@angular/animations: 4.4.3
@angular/cdk: 2.0.0-beta.11
@angular/common: 4.4.3
@angular/compiler: 4.4.3
@angular/core: 4.4.3
@angular/forms: 4.4.3
@angular/http: 4.4.3
@angular/material: 2.0.0-beta.11
@angular/platform-browser: 4.4.3
@angular/platform-browser-dynamic: 4.4.3
@angular/router: 4.4.3
@angular/cli: 1.2.6
@angular/compiler-cli: 4.4.3

Compodoc installed globally or locally ?

Yes @disophisis it is in my todolist. It is the GenericRight.Right which breaks the stuff. I had to scan data informations for each routes, and found if there is a dynamic variable like this, and replace it during TypeScript AST parsing. Keep in touch with this issue.

Yes @GermainMoreau, thanks for your feedback. ApplicationConst.uploadPath is a dynamic import string, i have to handle that for routes. The stuff was done for components/directives metadatas, it will not take so much time. I will work on that today and tomorrow. Stay tuned.
