@nowayto weird, and npm start fails again _ not defined?

i installed solarpicture without problems

nowayto

@sdetweil
I’m sure.I don’t think SolarPicture could be the problem.

Yes, the error keep showing

sdetweil

@nowayto wild, lets do this… intall MM again, but save the current…

#backup MM config and modules list
bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore/main/mm_backup.sh)"
#rename the MagicMirror folder out of the way
cd ~
mv MagicMirror MagicMirror.save
#and install MM again
bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"
#restore the  MM config and modules
bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore/main/mm_restore.sh)"

then

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

nowayto

@sdetweil
Before writing here I made backups, locally and on github, like you taught me in the past :)

Now I’ll try

@sdetweil

Again this _ is not defined

sdetweil

@nowayto wow!!! NOW i am really confused.

have you rebooted?

if you try the sample config.js

cd ~/MagicMirror/config
mv config.js config.js.save
cp config.js.sample config.js

and then
npm start

does it run or fail

nowayto

@sdetweil
Sam… I don’t know how to saying it.
I figure out the issue.

After your last message I tried what you suggest.
With the default cfg I had no errors, with mine I had errors.

So I checked again and again the config…
and I find an underscore _ right at the start of the config

npm config:check told me “no syntax errors” and that confusing me.

When I edit it I use nano editor
I do “sudo nano config.js” and I press CTRL + _ to jump at the 250 line.
Might be one of the latest time I opened it and press _ a bit faster than CTRL and I add it for error.

In addition I notice that when I open config.js with nano editor the green cursor is, clearly, at the start of the first line… EXACTLY on the undescore _ and it hides it.

I’m really sorry for bothering you with that.
How can I buy you a coffee ?
Thanks
