Need help with config syntax error

beck0r · Jan 4, 2018, 2:17 PM

Hey there,

i had to turn off my pi for a while since I’ve moved to a new location. During the starting sequence of MM it tells me I have syntax errors in my config. I can’t really imagine since I haven’t touched the config at all. JS syntax checkers keep telling me that the config is correct but my screen stays black.

Can somebody help me? It’s been a while since I have faced the syntax of the config file so I’m not familiar with it any longer.

Thank you very much

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

Config removed. yawns

        						destination: '###',,
        						label: 'Fahrrad zur Arbeit',

There is an additional comma which needs to be removed after destination.

I removed your config from your post as it included apikeys which should not be disclosed

Hey,

thank you for your answer. About the additional comma. This happened when I replaced my personal information with ###. I have now removed the api keys. Thanks for taking care!

@beck0r
And still, without the additional comma, your magicmirror rejects the config?

beck0r · Jan 4, 2018, 2:37 PM

Yes… I am trying to uncomment the MMM-History area. With that area not included MM starts (still throwing errors messages but it works). Akismet won’t let me change my post :)
