Greetings! I am trying to get my first addon up and running on my atlassian cloud development site and running across this error:
Invalid Atlassian Connect descriptor: JSON is not well-formed (Unexpected character (‘’ (code 65279 / 0xfeff)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, ‘true’, ‘false’ or ‘null’) at [Source: ; line: 1, column: 2]). Please contact the add-on vendor for details.
But it is…
I run my connect json (shown at bottom of post) through the atlassian connect validator and it passes:
I upload the json to my Blob container in Azure and can access it from there via the browser so then I go to my Manage Add-Ons admin page, click Upload Add-on, paste in my connect URL and then see that very “descriptive” message above.
So my json isn’t formatted properly but the Atlassian tools says it is.
Please advise.
(Note: The ngrok session has ended so that won’t work)
