SOLVED Black screen after changing the modules' order in config

[Nicole]

my MMM-Face-Recognition-SMAI module is unable to appear on the screen once added, while zero error was reported.


I ran the part indepently and it worked successfully. (able to detect, recognize and send out the user’s name)
so i tried to change its order in the config.js, and once it was on top of every other modules, none were able to be seen and All I got was black screen.

What’s wrong? Is it a version problem or something? really confused.

@nicole open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, and select the console tab. scroll up to see any errors usually red text

@sdetweil it appears that I have 4 errors but I have no idea how to deal with it

Refused to apply style from ‘http://0.0.0.0:8080/css/custom.css’ because its MIME type (‘text/html’) is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled.

@nicole custom.css messages are because it doesn’t exist by default

create an empty one by

touch ~/MagicMirror/css/custom.css

the other error is the problem.

I would move the reco module to the bottom again.

[Nicole]

@sdetweil get it. thank u sooo much!

@nicole said in Black screen after changing the modules' order in config:

MMM-Face-Recognition-SMAI

module: "MMM-Face-Recognition-SMAI",
position: "buttom_left",     <---------------- bottom_left
