Addon Builder - Build Failed. Result code=1, CfgConvert task failed.

[IlWARDXGlI 0]

My vest config worked for up to 1k lines, coded a new vest and now I get this error. I deleted the most recent vest code and tried unchecking “Clear temp folder” and “Binarize”, and I dont have an addon prefix, not sure if that actually does anything but I’ve seen other people fix this problem by doing that. I can’t find any errors in the model config or the other config but I’m still relatively new and something could have went by unnoticed. 

Edit - Moved the vest file to my P Drive and packed it from there and it got rid of the error.

cfgConvert seems to me broken. Not sure why it fails sometimes. I do things as usual and a config.cpp is not OK even if copied/pasted from my test directory (which doesn't fail). Strange!

Not a question about missing } as reported, because I copied/pasted a config.cpp from my test folder to my addon folder and checked by Poseidon and Notepad++ compare files.
the error is somewhere else, out of the code itself.

 

FOUND : it was an error inside an included hpp ... so check also all #include .hpp (or else) as they don't return error, except from the parent file (here config.cpp)
