Trying to use MMM-MyCommute, config.js doesn't look right

deerbelac · Feb 3, 2018, 3:24 AM

So I downloaded the MMM-MyCommute module (https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCommute); I followed the Installation instructions, and went to set up my config.js file. When I began entering the config for MMM-MyCommute, I noticed it looks different - the string values for MMM-MyCommute aren’t colored yellow like all my other modules are. I just can’t figure out what the deal is. Any help you can provide would be very…well, helpful.

I’ve tried including my config.js file below, I hope it worked. I’d consider myself an advanced beginner when it comes to the required skills for this, so keep that in mind, if you please.

SSH into pi, then here’s a summary of commands I used:

cd ~/MagicMirror/Modules
git clone https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCommute.git
cd ~/MagicMirror/Modules/MMM-MyCommute
npm install

I then got a Google Maps API key, and tried to edit my config.js file; see below.

There are some ``` in your clock module.

in your MyCommute u use the wrong " " (try to use another editor in future)

no comma , behind the apikey

in the normal calendar module there is no comma , behind the URL

missing semicolon in last line

So try this:

if u run into this problem again, try www.jshint.com ;)

or use ssh and do this: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/5399/how-to-check-your-config-for-errors-for-absolute-beginners

@cruunnerr YAS this worked.

I used jshint.com - which I’d never heard of - and it helped me figure out what was wrong! It was a combination of stupid syntax errors and using a different editor.

Thanks to you, I’ve got it up and running beautifully. You’re my new best internet friend.
