[Beta] Create branch fails with JSON error

It’s been reported before a few times:

[Beta] "JSON Parse error: Unexpected identifier" when naming a new branch

In the new IDE add a new branch. When prompted for a name I enter “fix_selection”. I get the error: JSON Parse error: Unexpected identifier "An" PS another niggle: in that same name a new branch dialog I get suggestions from the browser(?) with all my emails, which seems a bit silly. Using Safari.

ERROR: Unexpected token A in JSON at position 0

This is probably the best answer if you have urgency to get this fixed. Maybe the best thing you could do is to create a clone (in anvil) of your app first, then do git clone on your PC to merge and push the changes. The bug is probably only in the IDE for commiting/merging and if you do it manually you won’t have issues (I’m guessing). Then you can go on with your life AND have a clone with the issue so that the Anvil Staff can take a look into it later.

I suggest you read those forum topics (and always searching for a similar problem before creating a new one).
