Describe the bug

Looking into fprime and Aerie/PlanDev integration for my own project, and know a bit of work was done. I was able to update the config such that it would load the fprime dictionary sequencing plugin. However when I try to load a recently created fprime dictionary from the most recent fprime, I get a json parse error (see 'logs')

I did check around for other open fprime issues and all i found was:

#1531

Here's the offending dictionary:

HelloWorldDeploymentTopologyDictionary.json

I'll likely work around this by generating my own AMPCS XML formatted command dictionary from the fprime, but good to clean this up (i'm assuming the fprime dictionary has advanced a bit in the meantime)

Reproduction

• Save off the dictionary
• Uncomment ' DICTIONARY_PARSER_PLUGIN: "/fprime-dictionary-parser/fprime-parser.js" #-- Relative to sequencing-server/plugins, Uncomment to use a different command dictionary parser' from docker-compose.yml
• assemble and run the server
• Go to 'Dictionaries' and try and load the file

Logs
