MMM-Face-Reco-DNN

[Blauenfeldt]

When i use classes like below

classes: 'name'

i get an error for the next line in the config.js
If I write it with a comma like this:

Classes: 'name',

Then it and the whole module: "MMM-Face-Reco-DNN"will get ignored, and all my modules will be shown, even if nobody is in front of the camera.
Here is a log:

Here is line 65 in my config file:

		{
			module: "currentweather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				location: "hidden",
				locationID: "hidden",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "hidden"
			}
			classes: 'name'
		},

If I move classes up below position like this:

{
			module: "currentweather",
			position: "top_right",
			classes: 'name'
			config: {
				location: "hidden",
				locationID: "hidden",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "hidden"
			}

Then the result will be like this:

@Blauenfeldt said in MMM-Face-Reco-DNN:

classes ‘name’,

yes, it should be
classes: ‘name’,

u missed the colon (:) between name and value

[Blauenfeldt]

My bad. That is what i have done. I will edit my problem so it is more detailed.

[sdetweil]

@Blauenfeldt can u show your whole module definition
is there a comma on the end of the line before classes:

[Blauenfeldt]

I’ve updated it. yes, the line before classes ends with a comma.

@Blauenfeldt thanks

in this case

		{
			module: "currentweather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				location: "hidden",
				locationID: "hidden",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "hidden"
			}    // < ------  comma needed here
			classes: 'name'
		},

in this case

{
			module: "currentweather",
			position: "top_right",
			classes: 'name'   // < --- comma needed here
			config: {
				location: "hidden",
				locationID: "hidden",  //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "hidden"
			}
}

so, if u see an error like

 WARNING! Could not validate config file. Starting with default configuration. Please correct syntax errors at or above this line: /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js:60
0|MagicMirror  | 			config: {

general rule, look at the line BEFORE the line referenced and add a trailing comma
in this case, line 59 (add a comma)

also, do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run config:check

fix errors from top down
repeat til no errors

[Blauenfeldt]

@sdetweil Thank you. I will try that.

[Blauenfeldt]

It works like a charm now. Thank you very much.
