Config.fs

scoller

I have recently downloaded the magicmirror project and started to edit the config.js sample file. After i wrote in my information such as, weather, calendar, and compliments I tried to re start the project. The project started with still a notice saying edit you config file and I cant figure out where this problem comes from. A good thing to know is that the config.js file was the sample file so I saved it with out the sample. I have also run the code through the jshint and it says alot of things that idon’t understand :). PLEASE can someone help me

Well for that we’d need to know what jshint says :-)
Can you please post your config.js here (WITHOUT sensitive data please)

And for the next time:
In the magicmirror directory you can put in

npm run config:check

and it will also give you the errors in the config.
You can then look up the lines using e.g.

sudo nano -c config/config.js

which will add the columns to nano

Thank you very much here is my config:

@scoller said in Config.fs:

locationID: “2726470”

comma missed.

99% of configuration failure was due to this mistake.

scoller

@sean thank you

scoller

@sean how do i know where the comma should be? I know im stupid :)

@sean said in Config.fs:

comma missed.

A classic!

A Former User

@scoller
In {} (object) and [] (array), there could be several items. Each item should be separated by comma,. Only last item could omit ,.
By example

someObject: {
  someProperty: someValue ,
  anotherProperty: anotherValue ,
  lastProperty: lastValue
}, //< - this object also could be an element of other list
someArray: [
  someElement, 
  otherElement, 
  lastElement //< - you can omit comma here.
] // < - You can omit last comma of list.

scoller

@sean so you mean like {nothing,nothing}?

A Former User

@scoller right.

scoller

@sean but i mean where is the brackets where the comma should be. For an example high up or low down in the code

A Former User

@scoller Well, that is a just grammar of JavaScript. So…
Hmmm…
Just remember these.

Every bracket([], {}) should be closed somewhere.
Nested brackets should be matched their opening and closing.
All Items should be separated with comma
All text string should be quoted by quotation mark (`, " or ')
true/false (boolean value) and number should not be quoted.

These are common rules for config.js

scoller

@sean thank’s for the help will try that

A Former User

@scoller
You have two locationID: "2726470" in your code. both should be modified.

scoller

@sean Specific for my code can you point it out cause I can’t find it, may be because of my lack of knowledge :)

scoller

@sean my code goes like this is this an error?
{.
Hdhdhdhdu
Hhdhdhfhdujd.
Hdhdhhdh
{
And the bracket never closes, is that an error?

  module: "currentweather",

    locationID: "2726470", // < - I think here comma missed.
    appid: "c17305e68b5d2b54d3f2c8b5e2cc4002"
  }

  }
},

scoller

@sean What is that? I see its the code but what?

A Former User

@scoller
Exchange those with your current currentweather and weatherforecast in config.js

scoller

@sean Thank you again. Is that the problem?
