Problem mmm-hue-lights, config file can not be loaded, check:config ok

Hello,

I am currently running in some problems setting up the hue-lights module.
I accidently wiped my running mm2 installation and had to start from scratch.
Before that it was running just fine with this module.

If it is relevant I first pulled the module inside the “MagicMirror” folder and ran “npm run install” there.
I then removed it again, navigated to the modules and pulled it there via git.

I checked my hue developper account and my user is working
I also checked the IP of my bridge because this had changed before when we had an power outage.
I can ping the IP from my raspi.

I already removed it from the modules folder and pulled it again via git.

My mirror is up and running.
As soon as I put the mmm-hue-lights module settings in the config I just get a black screen. The console gives me the following information and error messages:

    '/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/resources/default_app.asar/main.js',
    undefined
  ]
}

my config of the module currently looks like this (I tried working without the additional settings) at the moment only the obligatory ones IP and user:

		{
		module: "mmm-hue-lights",
		position: "top_left", // pick whichever position you want
		config: {
			bridgeIp: "xxxxxx",
			user: "xxxx",
			//updateInterval: 1000,
			//initialLoadDelay: 0,
			//displayType: "grid",
		////	displayFilter: ["all"],
			//minimalGrid: true,
			//displayMode: "lights",
			
			 ////... and whatever else configuration options you want to use
			}
		},
