Escaped content triggers syntax errors prevent 'save' in new GUI

[anthonymanzo]

I know this is the 'old' site, let me know if this issue belongs somewhere else. Here's a screenshot of a segment of the kitchen.json file I sent you separately:

@anthonymanzo json by standard cannot accept newlines inside names nor values.

Meteor Kitchen CLI can "eat" this because I made json parser and I made it to ignore newlines. But, kitchen-GUI is using standard JSON.parse() which doesn't allow newlines.

BTW, if you type in a GUI, for example "helpers_code" from your screenshot using normal kitchen-GUI "code" tab for that, newlines will be properly escaped with \n and your json will be valid.

Screenshots are showing helpers written in GUI and how that looks in json.

Place where you should write code, normally as you do in editor, with newlines etc - you don't need to escape the code:

Now see .json - it is automatically escaped and valid:

Hi, I’m trying to use the GUI but fox and chrome get stuck when I’m trying to switch from ‘Server’ or ‘Client’ windows. I also removed all the line breaks from the kitchen json file - same result but no visible errors in the IDE, just a pop up ‘Error parsing Json’ I’m going to move back to the cli and just use a custom component for the interim, I have a deadline on this project. Thanks, Tony

@anthonymanzo OK, I understand deadline :) Please when you find some time, let's solve your problem - I am curious is it bug with kitchen-GUI so I can fix it, or you are doing something wrong.
