That's already an improvement on the existing issue, thanks !

A minor change: with template literals (AKA template strings: my string with ${someCode}), the tabulations will be preserved in the output, so you'll end up with a somewhat malformed text in the console:

The linter should allow you to simply remove the tabulation inside a multiline template literal without freaking out. It'll look a bit ugly, but I don't think that's a big problem in this case, considering how often we're likely to change that function in the future.

And if you're in there, some phrasing suggestion: I don't tihnk inviting them to check if it's a directory works. The phrasing as it is kind of suggests you should have a directory, when in fact that should only happen if the file is missing.

Could not find required configuration file config/${configFileBasename}.json If you don't have a config/${configFileBasename}.json file, you should copy, rename and modify config/config.json.example. For more information refer to: https://github.com/bookbrainz/bookbrainz-site#configuration\n
