  1. As you can see " " (the quotes) that you have copied are different from the others in settings.json. So you remove the copied quotes and type them again.

  2. Place a , (comma) at the end on line 19. This will separate line 19 from line 20.

Hope that helps!! 😀

Dhyan se dekho jo tumne copy kia hai uske quotes different hain. Tum sirf ek kaam kro, jo tumne copy kia hai uske quotes ko delete kro aur apne se firse lga lo.

Hi,

put a comma , at the end of line 8

change the quotes to "". If you see the the quotes on line 9 & 10 are different from the rest in the file. Kindly do that and let me know if that works.

Just remember to add the dot on the file extensions, since the setting files.associations is associating files by their extension (e.g., ONE file my-file.html or ALL files *.html) to their language identifier, e.g. html and because its a JSON file, must be wrapped in double quotes, for example:

"files.associations": {
    "index.html": "html",
    "*.css": "css",
    "App.js": "javascriptreact",
    "*.py": "python"
}

You can also turn on this setting via VS settings without editing the .json file

I don't usually use much of this (or any particular) platform. Just wanted to give you some good Karma mate. I appreciate this. Straight to the point when I needed solutions, not distractions.
Had to change the quotes to straight ones, but anyone can realise that if paying attention
😉

Cheers mate.
