IntelliJ complains about errors in configuration file

[zakius]

Every time enable Biome in IntelliJ it pops up and no suggestions appear in the editor

Biome: The configuration file has errors. Biome will report only parsing errors until the configuration is fixed.

Can you please give us more information? The warning is clear enough, your configuration file has errors. Why is this an issue?

E.g.: provide the configuration file, provide a playground link, etc.

[zakius]

that's an issue because the file is fine and CLI confirms that, it seems I missed that in my original post, sorry for that

to be fair it magically stopped showing that message after rebooting my PC and now it seems IntelliJ formats according to my settings but it is extremely slow to index, list files in the project tree, analyze files and when it finally finishes that shows no errors in the editor while CLI does print quite a lot of them

I don't know how I can help diagnosing it further, don't think the config file is the issue here but here it is in case it hints at something

                    }
                }
            }
        }
    ],
    "vcs": {
        "enabled": true,
        "clientKind": "git",
        "useIgnoreFile": true
    },
    "files": {
        "include": [
            "src/**/*.ts",
            "src/**/*.svelte"
        ],
        "ignore": [
            ".idea",
            ".svelte-kit",
            "node_modules",
            "build"
        ]
    }
}

additionally it just works in vsc

Facing the same issue. My project: https://github.com/hrishikesh-k/tejal/tree/v9 (v9 branch).

Same problem here:

But I think that error is masking the actual error which might be that biome can't actually read the file at all.
Can this be due to the file being in wsl? Is that $ sign or double slash tripping biome?
Here's the error I get when I make changes to biome.json:

java.lang.Throwable: Failed to run Biome check with (format, safefixes) for file biome.json - //wsl$/Ubuntu-24.04/home/dan/www/cust/wt/microservices/biome.json internalError/fs ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  × Cannot read file
  
  × Biome can't read the following file, maybe for permissions reasons or it doesn't exist: //wsl$/Ubuntu-24.04/home/dan/www/cust/wt/microservices/biome.json

My biome.json file in the root is more complex but I trimmed it down to try and narrow down the problem to just the below and I still have the same issue:

{
	"$schema": "https://biomejs.dev/schemas/1.9.2/schema.json",
	"vcs": { "enabled": true, "clientKind": "git", "useIgnoreFile": false },
	"files": { "ignoreUnknown": false, "ignore": [] },
	"formatter": {
		"enabled": true
	}
}
