Hi, it seems to be the same issue as here #623
For now you could just install previous version 1.7.0
I plan to fix this today or tomorrow with new release.

[PauliusKu]

I see now that your issue is a bit different, than I expected.

You are using slash symbol comments in your openedge-project.json file, which does not work with JSON parser we use (as pure JSON standard doses not support comments).
So it should work fine if you remove comments
I will keep this ticket open and will look into it if we can fix in a future release.

Hi, you're right.

I removed the slash comments and its worked.
