This is a great project and learning a lot. I've followed the instructions exactly as they outline, but it does not seem to work.

Can someone please help me figure out why it is not running?

I am getting this output:

HI @JamieBNU are you able to tell me where this is happening, at what stage in the walk through are you and what commands did you enter, looks like maybe npm run start?

Have you npm installed everything? and are you in the working directory?

Thanks 👍

JamieBNU commented

Thanks! Yes, I'm at the part of the tutorial where it tells us to run the command 'npm start' in the /home/ubuntu/workspace/twitter-bot-bootstrap/ directory. But then it gives me the error log above.

Not sure what to do! Many thanks for your help!

I also get this:

Ok, so for:

let retweetId
^^^

SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode

You'll need to add "use strict"; at the top of the file where the error is coming from, taker a look at: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Strict_mode

For the npm script try npm run start not npm start if that doesn't work try running the bot file against node directly, so something like:

node path/to/the/bot.js

See what the output is 👍

Hooray! Thank you! It runs - but now I am getting the error "ERRORDERP: Cannot assign retweeID"
Getting there!

spences10 commented

That's the logging, usually occurs when the tweet is has already been retweted. 👌
