Preview error related to index.md

[Erin-Cecele]

Thank you @Erin-Cecele That worked! I can create a new project and run a preview. However, once I start working on my project, I edit all the info and I run a preview again to see the changes, I get this error:

I can see in Visual Studio Code that once Quire creates index.html, the file does not contain the info that I entered in index.md...

Not sure what to do, by all the index related files show some differences with previous projects'.
For instance, in the image attached, on the left, you have the new project's (just created) index.js in the markdown (plugins) section, where all the initial lines start with "import"(and then the plugins' names); on the right, you see the same file from another project, created before this whole issue started, and the plugins lines start with "const".
