Something like this happens to me, but my module is from user coderpussy @github , pretty new fork, maybe I got some failure from moodeaudio devs, but I dont think, so anyway here is some of my errors.
if change folder name mmm-mpd to mpd_client errors in MM startup: alerts in MagicMirror startup: WARNING! Could not validate config file. Starting with default configuration.

@dnj0104 there is probably more to the error message this also happens when there is some library required by a module not found at startup
u can also run
npm run config:check
to review any syntax errors in the config.js file
-
@sdetweil said in Add JS Code to the Mirror:
npm run config:check
in magicmirror/modules
or in magicmirror/modules/mpd-module ?
Thinks the whole module has to be rebuilt…
-
@dnj0104 in MagicMirror
-
then I got
[2020-10-23 23:46:08.836] [INFO] Checking file... /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js [2020-10-23 23:46:09.049] [INFO] Your configuration file doesn't contain syntax errors :)

@dnj0104 ok, so the error that causes the default config to load is caused by some other problem.
missing module, or some other failure
can u show the MM startup messages (from the window where you do npm start)
a module consists of the folder name
MMM-MPD
and its main js file
MMM-MPD.js
and inside MMM-MPD.js is the module register statement
Module.register("MMM-MPD", {
and in config.js
{ module: 'MMM-MPD',
this causes MM to look for the folder, filename and file contents in that order
SO, it SOUNDS like from a prior post, that the REAL name is
mod_client
(so there must be the right folder name, file name and file contents of
mod_clientif so, you can rename the folder (mv is the rename command on linux)
then in config.js you needmodule:'mod_client',
see the topic ‘How to add modules’ in my signature

mod_client
errors folder and file config.js (mmm-mpd) renamed to mod:

------result---- dark—screen electron just showed black----------
roll back, Folder named to mod-client and in config.js and mpd_client.js to mod_client.
Result; electron start with no error all my modules shows, but not mod_client aka mpd_client -
@dnj0104 what MM version are you running on? this problem was fixed in 2.10
do this
from the MM foldercd ~/MagicMirror git checkout modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js
-
I got version 20.13.0
from your git command i get output
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ git checkout modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js error: pathspec 'modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js' did not match any file(s) known to git
