Thanks.

Heey i just check your config file and found that there are some differences compared to the config in the readme file. Something i noticed is to check if there is a }, after each { . Example

{
  module: "MMM-AssistantMk2",
  position: "top_right",
  config: {
deviceLocation: {
      coordinates: { // set the latitude and longitude of the device to get localized information like weather or time. (ref. mygeoposition.com)
        latitude: 45.200049, // -90.0 - +90.0
        longitude: 7.568917, // -180.0 - +180.0
      },
    },

there is twice }, at the end to close both the {
Can you check for me if this works?

{
  module: "MMM-AssistantMk2",
  position: "top_right",
  config: {

    // --- ESSENTIALS / modifying for your environment might be needed.


    deviceLocation: {
      coordinates: { // set the latitude and longitude of the device to get localized information like weather or time. (ref. mygeoposition.com)
        latitude: 45.200049, // -90.0 - +90.0
		longitude: 7.568917, // -180.0 - +180.0	
      },
    },

    defaultProfile: "default", // If you have several profiles and want to set one of them as default profile, describe here.

    profiles: {
      "default" : { // profile name.
        profileFile: "default.json", // profile file name.
        lang: "it-IT"
        //currently available (estimation, not all tested):
        //  de-DE, en-AU, en-CA, en-GB, en-US, en-IN
        // fr-CA, fr-FR, it-IT, ja-JP, es-ES, es-MX, ko-KR, pt-BR
        // https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/reference/rpc/languages
        },
    },

    record: { // Full values are in `FOR EXPERTS` section.
      recordProgram: "arecord",  // Defaults to "arecord" - also supports "rec" and "sox"
      device: null        // recording device (e.g.: "plughw:1")
    },

    play: { // Full values are in `FOR EXPERTS` section.
      playProgram: "mpg321", // recommended.
    },
},
},

[Egnos]

Sorry @ganget, but I’m not sure that the configuration you propose can work, because after opening a “{” is closed with a “},” and the “},” is used only for the closure of the entire module and not the single configurations. Correct?

Is it possible that the problem is on the comma after “mpg321”?

play: { // Full values are in `FOR EXPERTS` section.
      playProgram: "mpg321", // recommended.

Thank you all!

@ganget is right, your { } are mixed up.

Also, if you look at the readme for this module configuration you notice the { } need to be set different.

@sdetweil said in syntax errors:

node tests/configs/check_config.js

find and fix all errors, starting from the top of the list

Thanks, as soon possible I will try this command.

Ok thanks @ganget, but I do not understand why if I remove the comma of the “}” referring to “play” the configuration does not give problems but if I remove the comma from the “}” referring to “record” it goes into error…

	record: { // Full values are in `FOR EXPERTS` section.
			recordProgram: "arecord",  // Defaults to "arecord" - also supports "rec" and "sox"
			device: null        // recording device (e.g.: "plughw:1")
  },
		play: { // Full values are in `FOR EXPERTS` section.
			playProgram: "mpg321", // recommended.
		}        

Sorry for the banalities … but I’m a beginner.:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

[sdetweil]

@egnos comma is continuation… its ok to have an EXTRA , after the play group,… it is NOT ok to have a missing , between things

[ganget]

@egnos As @sdetweil already stated the comma’s are for showing the code that there is more to run after the line. It is no problem to have a extra comma at the end. But if you don’t put a comma the code doesn’t run further and gives you a syntax error. The {} are for making a object in JS, if you don’t close the object with a } you will also get a syntax error.
