Lesson 10: Error "Unexpected end of JSON input"

[BenRai1]

Maybe this helps someone to save some time:
I got this error when I ran "yarn hardhat node" in lesson 10:

Unexpected end of JSON input

From the question, seperate this part:

Turns out, this error happens when you pass an empty file into

const contractAddresses = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(FRONT_END_ADDRESSES_FILE, "utf8"))

To fix it you just need to put "{ }" in the file "contractAddresses.json" in the frontend project

Then, reply to yourself with this part and mark as an answer for others to refer to.

Awesome! Should always help others out like this by making a discussion and marking as an answer -- when you encounter something which takes some time debugging.

All the best!
