    I am having the same issue. Does anyone know any workaround to solve this?

    Would it be possible to add the contents of the json or XML file which was used as properties? Definitely some formatting issues.

      This is the content:

      {
      "scenario" : "Negative",
      "username": "wrongUsername",
      "name": "Blah"
      }

    If the properties are so simple, you can save them as ".properties" file and see if that works for you.

      The problem is that I was never able to import any json file, simple or complex, it always gives me the same error. So I pasted a simple structure to show that even that it doesn't work.
