Barber is unable to use any input JSON file

[godefroi]

I can run the example render command given in the readme that passes in Var1 on the command line, but all attempts to run the render command with a JSON file as input result in the following error message:

Unexpected character encountered while parsing number: \. Path '', line 1, position 1.

I have tried an empty JSON file, a JSON file with only an empty object ({ }), and a JSON file with valid JSON in it. All attempts result in the same error message.

You'll see here: https://github.com/vankooch/barber/blob/master/app/Barber.Cli/Commands/RenderCommand.cs#L67 that you aren't actually opening the file and reading in the contents, you're just attempting to parse the filename as the JSON data.

As a bonus, a couple lines above, the error message when the JSON file doesn't exist actually spits out the name of the template.

Hi thanks for the feedback. I'll look into that this weekend.

Best regards
