I created an mvc custom widget with a DesignerView (DesignerView.Default.cshtml).

I want to display my designer view by default so I add a DesignerView.Default.json (find the code below) and when i try to edit my widget an error popup is diplay ("There is a problem with loading the widget designer: [object Object]") and when I go to the console I can see the error message throw by the Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend/Designer/Master/CbbIntroductionParagraph: "Invalid JSON primitive: ." (find the stack trace below).

I also need to add a "Kendo UI Editor" to edit the Content property of my widget I try to use "sf-html-field" but without success because I have the same problem with the json file for the include of the javascript dependence.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Controller:
[ControllerToolboxItem(Name = "IntroductionParagraph", Title = "Cbb_Introduction_Paragraph", SectionName = "Hub Content Building Bloks")]
public class CbbIntroductionParagraphController : Controller

public string Title get; set;
public string Content get; set;
public ActionResult Index()

ViewBag.Title = Title;
ViewBag.Content = Content;
return View("Default");

DesignerView.Default.json:

"priority": 1
