WARN: File contents are invalid JSON but parse using JSON5

[ngishkamau]

What would you like help with?

I would like help with my configuration

How are you running Renovate?

None

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

Gitlab

Please tell us more about your question or problem

WARN: File contents are invalid JSON but parse using JSON5. Support for this will be removed in a future release so please change to a support .json5 file name or ensure correct JSON syntax.

This error popped up without any changes made to the entire integration and prior configuration set for running. Renovate.json inherits a global shared preset config file that is a self-hosted repo in Gitlabl.

I have tried to switch to JSON5 format in renovate and shared preset config but not working?

[rarkins]

It's not?

Hi, please format any copy/pasted code or logs so they're readable.

You can find a Markdown code formatting guide here as well as some GitHub-specific information formatting code blocks here.

Thanks, the Renovate team

Have tried this workaround

    "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
    "description": "HUBO configuration for NuGets",
    "extends": [
        "gitlab>..................-renovate-config:default.json5"

But not yet solved.

[rarkins]

Run with debug level logging, and look at the full list of URLs which were accessed. You will find one which ends in default.json and that will be the one causing the problem.

For any further help you'll need to provide the full debug logs here
