Sometimes I stumble on weird errors.

This was one of those days.

I basically ran into some “Unterminated string literal” issues that didn’t point me to any line or even file. The cause of the problem was that I had some logic before an import.

It was a weird problem, since the editor would have flagged any unterminated strings anyway.

Removing this logic, keeping all the imports at the top, made the error go away.
