Error writing cookie file to undefined #37

Installed the plug-in, but when using systemd to launch homebridge get the following error in the log:

Apr 7 13:49:38 raspberrypi homebridge[1403]: [2019-4-7 13:49:38] [BraviaPlatform] Error writing cookie file to undefined. Add a cookiepath parameter to config.json to specify the path. Note that you specify the FILE path, not the folder.

Launching from the terminal works fine (creates a sonycookie file) ... There is no sonycookie folder anywhere in the system. Tried specifying a path to /var/homebridge/sonycookie and taking that specifier out and no success.

Using

{ "platform": "BraviaPlatform", "tvs": [ { "name": "TV", "ip": "192.168.7.30" } ]

in my config... also tried adding a specifier:

{ "platform": "BraviaPlatform", "tvs": [ { "name": "TV", "ip": "192.168.7.30", "soundoutput": "speaker", "tvsource": "tv:dvbs", "applications": false, "cookiePath":"/var/homebridge/sonycookie", "sources": [ "extInput:hdmi", "extInput:component", "extInput:scart", "extInput:cec", "extInput:widi" ] } ] },

Well you didn't specify cookiepath, you specified cookiePath.

Edit: And it's a FILE name, there should be no folder with the name sonycookie, the plugin will create a FILE with that name you specify.

Thank you, it was the capital P that was the error.
