SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input

Recently upgraded to the latest and CFN-Lint is reporting the following errors on this portion of my yaml template: AWSTemplateFormatVersion: ‘2010-09-09’

I’ve tried mapping the file extensions to a language but that’s not worked. Also, i’ve tried the following commands:

• Reinstall : pip uninstall cfn-lint and then pip install cfn-lint
• Downgrading: pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall cfn-lint==0.35.0 pyrsistent==0.16.0
• Upgrading since the downgrade failed: pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall cfn-lint

Here is a copy of the problems it is reporting:
