It seems something get changed within my project files because same plugin are adding correctly without any error in new project. But I really don't get what has changed.

This question is old but since the problem still occurs and this question shows up for it, I thought I would add:

After checking that my fetch.json was not corrupted and updating NPM and Node as suggested here, I found that adding plugins via their github url instead of their npm name avoided this error.

I had a corrupted fetch.json too. I ran it through jsonlint.com and found the missing comma right away.

it's been a while now, but I've just fixed this on my project by reverting the changes on the fetch.json file which got corrupted after a merging.
