ugh… this reminds me of a compilation error I got that complained about an unknown character. Looked through the file, didnt notice anything, passed it around for other people to check and no one noticed anything until one person noticed that the quotes were being autocorrected to the straight quotes instead for some fucking reason. I didnt see it because 1) why would that even be a thing and 2) I am almost legally blind without my contacts.
Yep. I use a piece of software that lets me drag components onto a stage and will auto generate code in the back end. We can then add our own code to customize the components.
I ran into a super cryptic error message while working on a time sensitive project and I was ripping my hair out trying to figure out what the hell was wrong. Turns out someone had pasted some code in from an email and the custom code editor displays the straight quotes and angles quotes exactly the same but the back end code generation fortunately displays them differently. The program didn't like the character set for the quotes used in Outlook but didn't give me the proper line number, the error made zero sense, and looking at the code didn't show that anything was wrong.
Learned the hard way that anything copied from a MS product gets pasted to a plain text editor first. I especially love how SharePoint sprinkles "zero with space" characters liberally throughout.
