Hi ... would you please provide your index.js file in gist or something. It's sounds like a syntax error :)

Yes ... just add
,here:masterKey: process.env.MASTER_KEY || 'MASTERKEYHERE'
,:)

Thanks. that fixed one error, but a new one presented itself.
mignev commentedon Oct 6, 2016
Okay :)
Just write this in your terminal:

spiderguy84 commentedon Oct 6, 2016
Thanks, that fixed it...now exactly what step would I now be on in migrating data? Do I run the curl POST command from here in same window that NPM is running on to test, or do I do that from somewhere else. The "simple" migration guide branches off in so many places at the beginning it's tough to keep straight.
mignev commentedon Oct 6, 2016
Just use MongoChef for MongoDB (http://3t.io/) and export your data on your laptop and after that import it to your local MongoDB. I think will be the easiest way to do it :)
spiderguy84 commentedon Oct 6, 2016
I already have the data migrated, and I see it in mLab in my Collections, it's all there. I just can't figure out what all to do from here, as the CURL command Parse says to use to test comes up with syntax errors as well for missing ; before statement
mignev commentedon Oct 6, 2016
I can't get what are you trying to do :)
spiderguy84 commentedon Oct 6, 2016
Sorry, let me create a new issue on here so we don't keep a thread going with unrelated stuff.
