[CLOSED] Brackets hits a breakpoint on every reload with Dev Tools open

Originally opened as adobe/brackets#2932

1. Launch Brackets
2. Open the Developer Tools
3. Click the footer icon that looks like a stopsign containing a "pause" icon until it turns purple (the setting for "pause on uncaught exceptions")
4. Reload Brackets

Result: Brackets freezes in the middle of reloading. You have to go to the Developer Tools and click the resume button.

Console shows this:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input     appshell:430
appshell.app.getPendingFilesToOpen                appshell:430

I originally started noticing this with the CEF update, but I'm still seeing it now that it's backed out... so perhaps this is related to the Node stuff landing? @joelrbrandt does "getPendingFilesToOpen()" ring a bell at all?

Nominating as Medium for this sprint since it adds a productivity drag on the dev experience...

Oops, sorry Joel -- looks like this is related to@gruehle's adobe/brackets-shell#190.

It looks like the exception is being thrown by the JSON.parse() in appshell_extensions.js's getPendingFilesToOpen(). I notice parse() throws such an error when handed an empty string...

Confirmed fixed. Thank goodness! That was getting really annoying for debugging :-(
