Writing to json file

[ebolisa]

Hi
At times, the below function writes an extra "}" in the json file and I cannot see where the problem may lie. I appreciate some guidance.
Micropython running on Raspberry Pico W
TIA

# write to file def w_json(key, txt): try: with open(json_file, 'r+') as f: data = json.load(f) # print("data", data) data[key] = txt f.seek(0) # set pointer to first line print("json_data", data) json.dump(data, f) except Exception as e: print(e) pass

Output:
{"set_soil1": "2.67", "soil1": 0.4, "soil2": 0.35, "set_soil2": "4.77"}}

I don't think an extra "}" is written to the file. I think it is already there. You should use truncate() instead of seek().
