      @sdetweil Looking at above post, there’s looots of errors in the config.

      @PHAGE-GOV we can’t lead you through all of these.
      You need to understand how config.js needs to look. Only one comma set false or forgotten breaks the whole file and the mirror.

        @lavolp3 The alert part needs to look like this:

        		{
        			module: "alert",
        			position: "right",
        			welcome_message: "a string"
        		},

            {
            			module: "compliments",
            			position: "lower_third",
            			compliments: {	
            				"anytime" : [
            					"Hey there sexy!"
            				],
            				"morning" : [
            

            so 64 is the compliments line and it says it has trailing spaces. Im actually learning so much about json files rn so thank you @sdetweil and @lavolp3

                    @sdetweil yeah, but npm run config:check was such a life saver

                      one of the biggest tips I can give you is to throw out everything you know about capitalization…
                      Welcome_message is different from welcome_message

                      Most of the time, with RARE exception, the initial letter is lowercase. javacriptIsWeird

                      The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

                        @BKeyport no… it is entirely up to the author of the module what case is used.
                        there are no rules…

                        only thing is javascript is case sensitive

                        var foo
                        is different than
                        var fOo
                        etc…

                        the config code doesn’t care, it takes all the settings and makes an object
                        the module then looks for specific items… almost NEVER checking for case mismatch

                        config.foo
                        will NOT find
                        config.fOo

                        it is NOT an error to config if fOo is not present.

                        filenames on linux are also case sensitive
