I get an error when trying to open an ipybn file in VScode. - 'Expected a JSON object, array or literal.' #12656

I'm probably not understanding something very basic, but there's no issue with creating, saving or loading new ipybn files. The error occurs with this file. (I can't attach ipybn so I just saved it as .txt) Untitled-1.txt I'm all googled out, so I'm hoping someone can point out my mistake |

Yes as you have identified the ipynb file is invalid. Now sure where you got this file from, but its not a valid file. My suggestion is to downlod the file into an ipynb format and ensure it has JSON (not sure how you downloaded/saved/got the ipynb file). but i'd look at that process. |

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for your answer. I downloaded the file from a github page that belongs to someone who creates python tutorial videos on Youtube. So there's a ipynb file to go alone with each video I'm not sure what the rules are on the forums here so I didn't post a link to it. The files are listed as ipynb files on the github page, and I just used right click + save as. Anyway, it wasn't really anything special, so we can consider this case closed. |

This happens when the notebook (json) file is not well formed. It's not a problem with vscode, but the filte itself See comment here #12656 (comment) |

You have an old version of vscode, please install the latest version and try again |

Jupyter extension isn't required to open ipynb (notebook) files. It's handled natively by vscode |

Yes as you have identified the ipynb file is invalid. Now sure where you got this file from, but its not a valid file.
Hence the issue isn't with vscode or the jupyter extension, but the fact that you have an invalid (currupted) file that you are trying to open as a Jupyter notebook file.
My suggestion is to downlod the file into an ipynb format and ensure it has JSON (not sure how you downloaded/saved/got the ipynb file). but i'd look at that process.
