Error when starting bot.js

[wmfairuz]

I got this error when trying to run bot.js.

fairuz@fairuz-vb:~/NodeJS-IRC-Bot$ node bot.js

/home/fairuz/NodeJS-IRC-Bot/node_modules/pkgconfig/node_modules/jsvutil/lib/jsv.js:39
throw error('Schema validation failed.', report.errors);

Any idea?

Same here!

Got it! Change "default": "", to "default": {}, in config/schema.json.

you can also add an empty pluginConfigs into config.json:

{
        "host":         "irc.hostname.de",
        "port":         6667,
        "nick":         "BOTName",
        "username":     "botnamejs",
        "realname":     "Bot Name",
        "channels":     ["#channel"],
        "command":      ".",
        "logLevel":     "info",
        "pluginConfigs": {
        },
        "plugins":      ["global", "reload", "lastseen", "textfilter"]
}

[mathieumg]

Yeah but that is a dirty way to "fix" things. The default: in the schema makes it that you don't have to specify empty properties! ;)

[wemu]

that is true. but I feel the schema.json belongs to the developer while my config files belong to me. so I fix things in "my" files first hoping for an updated version that allows me to delete the unnecessary config :-)

[mathieumg]

Oh, sure that is a valid workaround in the meantime! Since this is an issue thread in the project itself, I thought it might be relevant to point out the originating problem. I could submit a PR to fix it, but this project doesn't really seem maintained anymore... :/
