Can't remove a line from conf file

Question

When I build my ktor project It fails and it tells me about a line which causes the failure. The line is located in the application.conf file:

ktor {

development = true


    deployment {
        //the problem is with "heroku logs --tail"
        port = 8080heroku logs --tail
        port = ${?PORT},
        watch = [ classes, resources ]
    }
    application {
        modules = [ com.example.ApplicationKt.module ]
    }
}

When I try to remove the line and then build the project it returns back again. How can I remove it?

Answer 1

I've solved my problem by not removing the whole sentence but removing a part of it and then build the server. Then remove the other part and build the server again. The line will no longer return back.
