It’s a syntax error, naturally, usually due to something like missing a semicolon on the previous line, or not putting the line inside an attrset, or so on…

If you share your config file it should be easy to identify

3

Solved it I did the wrong program.

I think discourse will let you mark your own comment as resolving it, so that it’s clear the thread doesn’t still need attention?

5

not sure how to resolve it I cant find a button to do that

It’s moved to the “Help” category now, the “solution” button should be visible now.
