Config file Error - 'Split' Property

paulyp2k6

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

paulyp2k6

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

sdetweil

@paulyp2k6 ok, then do this

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile
wait, hit ctrl-c
and show us somefile

@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
]

@sdetweil Holy smokes!! Thanks so much for your patience with me on this one. I am sorry that took so long. And thanks for the extra training modules.

@paulyp2k6 i didn’t write the others, just reference really good writers
