Quick Syntax Error

A Former User

@smartsoldier
I’ve copied your configuration and tried. but there was no syntax error.

{
		  module: 'MMM-DropboxWallpaper',
		  position: 'fullscreen_below', // fullscreen_below is the best position.
		  classes: "default everyone", // when you use MMM-ProfileSwitcher.
		  config: {
		    refreshInterval: 1000*60,
		    search: [".jpg", ".png", ".gif"], // Or you can find target files like "PARTIAL FILENAME". (wildcard or regexp not supported)
		    directory: "/MyMirror", // root of directories of Dropbox to be scanned.
		    sort: "random", //"time09", "time90", "nameAZ", "nameZA", "random"
		    tokenLocationIQ : "", // See http://locationiq.org/#register
		    dropboxAccessToken: "",
		    width: "100%", // 'px' or '%' or valid value for CSS dimensions units.
		    height: "100%",
		    mode: "contain", // 'cover', 'contain', 'hybrid' or any other values for CSS `background-size`
		    dateTimeFormat: "HH:mm MMM Do, YYYY", // See. moment.js .format()
		  }
		},

I would try changing this:

tokenLocationIQ : "secret",

to this:

tokenLocationIQ: "secret",

I tried taking out the comma after YYYY, and moving the : closer to tokenLocationIQ. Neither worked. I’m not really sure how Sean managed to run without syntax errors when I am using the exact same config…

@smartsoldier I’ve copied from your post and nothing changed except some private values(tokens)

@smartsoldier
Most of the syntax errors could be raised by missing or exceeding bracket, comma.
I suggest you remove configuration of modules one-by-one and try.
Or you should upload a complete config.js here.

I also do not get an error when copy/pasting your config lines.

$ npm run config:check

does not give an error.
You should try it yourself; a very useful command.
Perhaps the error does not apply to the MMM-DropboxWallpaper config ?

Ok well I used npm run config:check and it found no errors, but I still get the syntax error message is red when I start up the MM. What is happening!??!

A Former User

@smartsoldier We don’t know. Remove all the modules in config.js and add one-by-one. Let’s see what happens.

smartsoldier

@sean If I remove this module everything runs fine, then if I put it back this happens. Does that mean its this module or no?

Are you willing to share the syntax error with us?
I thought you were referring to the “create config file” message at startup.
