Error in json-readtable-error upon load about flycheck-dmd-dub HOT 6 CLOSED

Strange. I have no problems at all with any of my dub.sdl projects. I'll take a look at one of yours to see if I can reproduce the issue.

from flycheck-dmd-dub.

Is the source code public?

from flycheck-dmd-dub.

I have the same problem in all my repos who are dub.sdl based.

I'm not sure it's cased by some other of my packages, though.

I'm gonna try on top of a vanilla Emacs tonite.

But it has worked before so I'm guessing some recent update is the cause.

from flycheck-dmd-dub.

You can try gmp-d.

from flycheck-dmd-dub.

I opened the first file I saw in gmp-d. Couldn't reproduce the issue. I looked at my init.el in case my configuration was the reason why but all I have there is:

(add-hook 'd-mode-hook 'flycheck-dmd-dub-set-variables)

from flycheck-dmd-dub.

Thanks.

Forgot to mention that I'm using latest stable Emacs 26.1.

I'm gonna test with a minimal configuration.

Update: After loading the flycheck-dmd-dub.el or .elc manually the problem goes away. Could it be some fldd-variable that is not initialized correctly?... I'm digging on...

Update: The problem seems to be that fldd incorrectly thinks that $HOME is the project root instead of top in $HOME/Work/gmp-d and therefore incorrectly tries to call dub describe in that directory which returns an empty json-file which Emacs then fails to parse...:

Update: Doh, I had accidentally added an empty dub.sdl in my HOME. Sorry for the inconvenince.
