Title:
  Gives unfriendly error message when missing comma in manifest

Status in “click” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If you miss out a comma in the manifest file click gives you an
  unfriendly error message:

  $ click build .
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/click", line 83, in <module>
      sys.exit(main())
    File "/usr/bin/click", line 79, in main
      return mod.run(args)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/click/commands/build.py", line 43, in run
      path = builder.build(".", manifest_path=options.manifest)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/click/build.py", line 203, in build
      self.read_manifest(full_manifest_path)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/click/build.py", line 75, in read_manifest
      self.manifest = json.load(manifest)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.3/json/__init__.py", line 274, in load
      parse_constant=parse_constant, object_pairs_hook=object_pairs_hook, **kw)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.3/json/__init__.py", line 319, in loads
      return _default_decoder.decode(s)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.3/json/decoder.py", line 352, in decode
      obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
    File "/usr/lib/python3.3/json/decoder.py", line 368, in raw_decode
      obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx)
  ValueError: Expecting ',' delimiter: line 5 column 5 (char 97)

  The cause was a missing comma after the version field in the manifest file:
  {
      "title": "Euchre",
      "description": "A trick taking card game",
      "version": "0.4"
      "name": "com.ubuntu.developer.robert-ancell.euchre",
      "maintainer": "Robert Ancell <robert.ancell at canonical.com>",
      "framework": "ubuntu-sdk-13.10",
      "hooks": {
          "ubuntu-tasks": {
              "desktop": "euchre.desktop"
          }
      }
  }
