The correct way to update a module

BKeyport

@JMac in this case, if you’re that close, it’s a simple git pull in your module directory, then restart.

as a force of habit, I run git pull then npm install on every update, just to make sure everything loads, then restart.

Likely, the reason it didn’t work before was a slight change to the code introduced in 1.2.0 - MMRize took duplicate code out of all his CX3 modules, and made a single file for them all - you had to install that code via the documentation here: https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda#update-to-120

I missed it too…

MMRIZE

@JMac

cd <YOUR_MM_DIRECTORY>/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3
git pull
npm install

When you meet some error message about CX3_Shared, try this also there.

git submodule update --init --recursive

@MMRIZE you should add a postinstall npm task and check that and do the git commands

MMRIZE

@sdetweil
I did already, so most cases it will work unless missing ‘npm install’

@MMRIZE ah…

JMac

@MMRIZE When I cd MagicMirror I get into that directory
but the /modules/MMM-CalendarExt3 says it isn’t recognised.

@JMac not /modules

/ at the front means root

you want ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3

~ at the front means current users home folder

if you are in the MagicMirror folder, then

cd modules

will move the current folder the the ~/MagicMirror/modules folder
