Sitecore 8: ArrayTypeMismatchException: Attempted to access an element as a type incompatible with the array.]

Intro:

I once had a strange error when trying acces sitecore Backend or Frontend. After roll back App_Config and bin folder the error still was there. If I check web.config I relized it was way smaller then usually in a Sitecore 8.
The error of "Attempted to access an element as a type incompatible with the array." was a web.config of a recently added feature. When building it with gulp I overrides teh web.confi inthe website root.

Solution:

In my recentrly added feature I set the web.config property "Build Action" to "None". That soled it for me.
