installer/preinstall.sh

the problem is under windows, this path is bad as it doesn’t have \

unfortunately NPM is NOT platform neutral

you can’t even do it with a .cmd (and bash script without .sh) in the current folder…
as windows would work, but then linux would fail as current folder not in the PATH

I wrote a js file that could be launched on either and launch the right thing

but a pain in the rear

That why i says :

I’m glad that you use windows 😧
Now retry with your pi, a linux env or … with wsl under windows 😉

@bugsounet said in Internet Monitor:

the real question is why using v1.6.2 version of SpeedTest library?

Because using speedtest-net after this version requires a code change.

Oh, great. I develop on Windows so I can make use of a proper IDE. Fine. I’ll dig up something.

Sigh. It figures. Not tonight, but I’ll work on it in the near future.

Okay, I believe I have it fixed for this module. Please switch over to the 2022-fix branch and give it a pull & install. Let me know if it works for you and I’ll issue a PR.

Big shout out to @bugsounet for figuring it out and from whom I blatantly stole a lot of code. At some point I remembered that this isn’t my module and I’m just trying to get it functioning again. It helped me ignore a lot of things I would have changed.

@bhepler Where do you find the update? is this the right link? https://github.com/ronny3050/internet-monitor

[bhepler]

@mayfield - No. Install from here: https://github.com/BrianHepler/internet-monitor.git

If you have installed from Ronny3050’s repository, you’ll need to delete that folder and clone from mine.

I suppose more detailed instructions are in order. To use my development branch of my fork of the internet-monitor module, give this a try.

cd MagicMirror/modules
sudo rm -rf internet-monitor
git clone https://github.com/BrianHepler/internet-monitor.git
cd internet-monitor
switch 2022-fix
npm install

Once it is done, you should be able to use your existing configuration. Let me know if you encounter any problems.

[bhepler]

My fork of the module has been updated and the new code has been merged to the master branch. Let me know if you hit any issues with it.

@bhepler what do you mean by switch 2022-fix?
I am trying to get this module working but it seems the config file example has an error in it or something because when i run the mirror after copy pasting the module array it gives the error page

[bhepler]

@ebourne I had a branch of the internet-monitor module that I was using to test a fix. Before I merge it into the master branch, I wanted people to try out the fix and give me some feedback. I guess I never got around to deleting it. The master branch had the updates, so it’s not a big deal.

Thanks to @KristjanESPERANTO I have a new fix in place and it has been merged into the master branch. It should be easy to update the module:

• get an SSH connection to your mirror.
• navigate to the internet-monitor folder
• pull the latest updates with git pull
• install the changes with npm install

Restart your magic mirror process and it should work again.

Just a quick note: I don’t really maintain this module. I created a fork to get it running a long time ago after the author abandoned it. I try to help out from time to time, but this is not one of my priorities. Hence, the README file and example configuration are a bit of a mess.
