Quick Syntax Error
-
Ok well I used npm run config:check and it found no errors, but I still get the syntax error message is red when I start up the MM. What is happening!??!
-
@smartsoldier We don’t know. Remove all the modules in
config.jsand 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?
-
Are you willing to share the syntax error with us?
I thought you were referring to the “create config file” message at startup. -
@smartsoldier Of course, it could be the fails of that module configuration.

@smartsoldier
No error at all. I didn’t modify anything.
-
Well I guess that settles that. I’ll just do a reinstall. Thanks for all the help though. You responded really quickly :)
-
@smartsoldier Please edit the post with the config.js and remove your private api keys, like apiKey and dropboxAccessToken.
-
I personally would not do a complete re-install, but I would re-install the modules according to their instructions.
Those modules would be:MMM-DropboxWallpaper
MMM-forecast-io
MMM-DailyBibleVerseIn that order.
Btw, are all modules under the MagicMirror/modules directory ?
You yourself proofed that most stuff works.
@Sean proofed that your config is okay.Btw, a simple ‘trick’ to disable a module is to put
disabled: true,
under the module name
and
disabled: false,
to enable it again.
Disabled:
module: 'MMM-DropboxWallpaper', disabled: true,Enabled:
module: 'MMM-DropboxWallpaper', disabled: false,This gives you a faster way of excluding ‘wrong’ modules.
Or simply to test a module, whilst leaving the config when the module is not needed. -
@smartsoldier cut and paste your code in the www.jslint.com
check single quotes, spaces
and test it… you should find your error quickly
fix, and cut/paste the results back into the config.js
-
Did you try to remove the comma as I suggested?
Those give me fits everytime… no errors. black screen
