      So, I am not a SW engineering and a code neophyte, so my question may lack some of that clarity or insight. I just added a few new modules to my Config file, went through a round of troubleshooting syntax (e.g., missing commas and braces, etc.), and now I am getting an error that says: “WARNING: Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: TypeError: Cannot read propert ‘split’ of undefined.”

      Any ideas of where that error may reside?!

        @paulyp2k6 , no but do
        npm run config:check
        in the mm folder to check syntax.

        disable stuff til u find it

        many times u misspelled something.
        split means array []… so look for stuff like that.

        i admit even as hard as i tried, i missed many opportunities to catch these errors

          Thanks so much, I will give that a try. In my college days the most frequent error was a missing semi-colon. Now it seems to be missing commas. Syntax will always be my downfall. But, thanks for the help.

            @paulyp2k6 javascript is pretty straightforward in data definitions. allows comments, cause its ‘code’, vs json which is not, and very precise

              @sdetweil So, I ran the Syntax check just now, like you suggested, and the Config file has no Syntax errors.

                        @paulyp2k6 said in Config file Error - 'Split' Property:

                        {
                        modules: [
                        {
                        module: ‘MMM-OnThisDay’,

                        another modules array in the middle of the modules array?

                        see the two topics in my signature below

                        modules:[ … only once
                        all module defs go in here, one after the other. nowhere else
                        ]
