tsconfig.json The project file contains invalid JSON

I was just trying to get started again with Atom TypeScript on an existing TypeScript project. I created a basic tsconfig.json, but keep getting an error about The project file contains invalid JSON.

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "es5",
        "module": "amd",
        "declaration": false,
        "noImplicitAny": false,
        "removeComments": true
    },
    "filesGlob": [
        "./**/*.ts",
        "!node_modules/**/*.ts"
    ]
}

I get the same error with a tsconfig.json of

{}

i can confirm the same bug on AtomBeta under Ubuntu16 and any workarounds I tried out - they don’t work.

This fix strips it off

Not this fix specifically … but we do rewrite the file if e.g. files needs to be updated. That said what we write is correct raw JSON so should be okay with other editors.
