Corona: Error Loading Module Error

I am creating a OOP game in Corona SDK using metatables and am having some trouble with my code.

Here is my main.lua file:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
-- main.lua
--
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- Your code here

local hero = require("hero")
local environment = require("environment")
local obstacle = require("obstacle")

local player = hero.new("Billy", 0, 10)

Here is my hero.lua class file:

local hero = {}
local hero_mt = {_index = hero}

--Constructor

function hero.new (name, positionX, positionY)
    local newHero = {
        name = name
        positionX = positionX or 0
        positionY = positionY or 0
    }

    return setmetatable( newHero, herp_mt )

function hero:Jump(amount)

end

And the error I am receiving is as follows:

error loading module 'hero' from file 'hero.lua': hero.lua:14 '}' expected (to close '{' at line 12) near 'positionX'

I followed the same syntax this site used (https://coronalabs.com/blog/2011/09/29/tutorial-modular-classes-in-corona/) but still nothing is working. Any thoughts?

You are missing commas when declaring your newHero table. All tables must have their properties separated by commas. See the documentation for more information. The last element can have a comma as well.

local newHero = {
    name = name,
    positionX = positionX or 0,
    positionY = positionY or 0,
}

You are missing a closing end as well for the function hero.new() And need to return the hero table at the end of your hero file, like so: return hero so that you can actually call hero.new() in your main file.
