New issue 793 by thomas.a...@nsn.com: Misleading error message [ ERROR ]  
Invalid syntax in file '<file>' in table 'Setting': IndexError: index out  
of range: 0

I encountered the above error message while migrating from robot 2.1 to  
robot 2.5.6. It is very misleading, as the error is (in my case) not in the  
reported <file> but in one of the included resource files. I would expect  
that the resource file is reported as source  of the error.
