I’m so used to PHP’s liberal allowance for single and double quotes, that I forget that other languages and tool-sets don’t play that way. Case in point, my most recent error:
[Syntax Error] Expected PlainValue, got ''' at position 378 in class My\Bundle\App\Entity\ItemDefinition.
It was actually pretty difficult to search for ' - so hopefully this will help someone else who is looking. The solution?
Drum-roll please: It’s because in an annotation, single quotes were used instead of the required double quotes.
