Troubleshooting VS Code 'settings.json'? - visual-studio-code

Question

Hi guys I'm getting a message from VS Code that says "Unable to sync settings because the content in the file is not valid. Please open the file and correct it."
Why is it saying that and how could I fix it. I'm pasting my settings.json
{
"editor.fontSize": 16,
"editor.fontFamily": "Cascadia Code",
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"terminal.integrated.fontSize": 16,
"terminal.integrated.fontWeight": 500,
"terminal.integrated.lineHeight": 1.1,
"prettier.tabWidth": 3,
"terminal.integrated.tabs.enableAnimation": false,
"workbench.iconTheme": "material-icon-theme",
"editor.guides.bracketPairs": true,
"editor.bracketPairColorization.independentColorPoolPerBracketType": true,
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {},
"editor.inlineSuggest.enabled": true,
"[html]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "vscode.html-language-features"
},
"[javascript]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode", // worked!
"editor.defaultFormatter": "vscode.typescript-language-features" //Not worked?
}
"security.workspace.trust.untrustedFiles": "open", // expected comma error, but👈 has a comma. Where is the comma supposed to go?
"[css]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "aeschli.vscode-css-formatter"
},
"git.autofetch": true,
"editor.formatOnType": true,
"css.lint.emptyRules": "error",
"html-css-class-completion.enableEmmetSupport": true,
"editor.formatOnPaste": true,
"editor.defaultFormatter": "AndersEAndersen.html-class-suggestions",
"html.format.templating": true,
"emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": true,
"workbench.colorTheme": "Brogrammer Plus",
"editor.fontWeight": "normal",
"eslint.codeActionsOnSave.rules": null
"editor.wordWrap" : "wordWrapColumn", // expected comma error, but👈 has a comma. Where is the comma supposed to go?
}
Where do the commas go for:
"editor.wordWrap" : "wordWrapColumn",
&
"security.workspace.trust.untrustedFiles": "open",
They 👆have commas?

Answer 1

You are missing some commas in the file.
Next time, you can verify that your settings.json file is valid by creating a new file in VSCode, setting its language to JSON (Select a language -> JSON) and pasting the content of your settings.json file - VSCode will mark any errors.
You were missing a comma after "eslint.codeActionsOnSave.rules": null and "editor.defaultFormatter": "vscode.typescript-language-features"}.
Here's a working version of your settings.json file, I checked it on my VSCode:
{
"editor.fontSize": 16,
