Specify which file has JSON parsing error

When I use the firebase deploy command I get this error:

Error: There was an error loading firebase.json:

Trailing comma in object at 11:9 } ^

My firebase.json file looks like this:

{
  "database": {
    "rules": "database.rules.json"
  },
  "hosting": {
    "public": "public"
  }
}

The json file doesn’t even have line 11 !

Could there be a trailing comma in your rules file?

I’m going to leave this open with the changed title “Specify which file has JSON parsing error” – the CLI ought to direct you to the place in which the error actually occurred.
