    @smartsoldier said in Quick Syntax Error:

    dateTimeFormat: “HH:mm MMM Do, YYYY”, // See. moment.js .format()

    take out the comma after YYYY"

      @smartsoldier
      I’ve copied your configuration and tried. but there was no syntax error.

      {
      		  module: 'MMM-DropboxWallpaper',
      		  position: 'fullscreen_below', // fullscreen_below is the best position.
      		  classes: "default everyone", // when you use MMM-ProfileSwitcher.
      		  config: {
      		    refreshInterval: 1000*60,
      		    search: [".jpg", ".png", ".gif"], // Or you can find target files like "PARTIAL FILENAME". (wildcard or regexp not supported)
      		    directory: "/MyMirror", // root of directories of Dropbox to be scanned.
      		    sort: "random", //"time09", "time90", "nameAZ", "nameZA", "random"
      		    tokenLocationIQ : "", // See http://locationiq.org/#register
      		    dropboxAccessToken: "",
      		    width: "100%", // 'px' or '%' or valid value for CSS dimensions units.
      		    height: "100%",
      		    mode: "contain", // 'cover', 'contain', 'hybrid' or any other values for CSS `background-size`
      		    dateTimeFormat: "HH:mm MMM Do, YYYY", // See. moment.js .format()
      		  }
      		},

        I would try changing this:

        tokenLocationIQ : "secret",
        

        to this:

        tokenLocationIQ: "secret",

          I tried taking out the comma after YYYY, and moving the : closer to tokenLocationIQ. Neither worked. I’m not really sure how Sean managed to run without syntax errors when I am using the exact same config…

            @smartsoldier I’ve copied from your post and nothing changed except some private values(tokens)

              Most of the syntax errors could be raised by missing or exceeding bracket, comma.
              I suggest you remove configuration of modules one-by-one and try.
              Or you should upload a complete config.js here.

                I also do not get an error when copy/pasting your config lines.

                $ npm run config:check
                

                does not give an error.
                You should try it yourself; a very useful command.
                Perhaps the error does not apply to the MMM-DropboxWallpaper config ?

                    @smartsoldier We don’t know. Remove all the modules in config.js and add one-by-one. Let’s see what happens.

                      @sean If I remove this module everything runs fine, then if I put it back this happens. Does that mean its this module or no?
