      wfLoadExtension( 'VEForAll' );

I'm having trouble getting VEforALl to deploy. Using the following code in MezaLocalExtensions.yml

- name: VEForAll
    repo: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-VEForAll.git
    version: "{{ mediawiki_default_branch }}"
    git_submodules: True
    composer_merge: True
    config: |
      wfLoadExtension( 'VEForAll' );

produces the following error in my deploy:

Does anyone know why VEforAll is not getting extension.json from the repo?
