    Hi, whenever I do a config check through npm, I get an error saying “Line 127 column 2: Parsing error: Unexpected token ;”. When I go to check where this line is, it is at the end of the config, which has this

                    height: "720" ,
                    width: "1200" ,
                    quality: "100" ,
                    displayResult: "true" ,
                    device: "null" ,
                    shootMessage: "Smile!" ,
                    displayCountdown: "true" ,
                    displayResult: "true" ,
                    resultDuration: "500 * 5" ,
                            }
                    }
            ],
    };  
    

    Any help would be appreciated.

      @zalgo 99% of the time Unexpected token means the line before the reported line is missing a trailing comma.

      I don’t see that here. but you have other problems

      the javascript rules are

      the thing the left of : does not need quotes, unless it contains a non-alpha character
      the thing to the right does NOT need quotes IF it is a number, an formula w numbers, or true or false , OR its a structure start { or array start [,

      otherwise it does need quotes

      your “500 * 5” is a formula and js will calculate that

        @zalgo because the error is end of file, it means it is confused.

        look at the config.js.sample
