Automatic checking of all MagicMirror² modules

@KristjanESPERANTO Looks good. Just out of interest, which image does it select as the thumbnail? Just noticed 2 of the modules of mines does not have the correct images. Both Growatt modules are the ones I am referring to.

@KristjanESPERANTO Stats were great, fixed most of the issues identified in my modules. Majority package.json issues.

Great work @KristjanESPERANTO

could we separate out the cosmetic issues (MagicMirror vs the one with the superscript 2, as I don’t know how to make that happen in my text editor…) and its useless

and this is misleading

There is no package.json. We need this file to gather information about the module.

there is no need for a package,json… as this module does all its work inside the modulename.js
there is no functional requirement as there is no node_helper.js

additionally… a module I forked was marked as present and attributed to me, but I never posted it… MMM-Alexa (and I deleted it from your list… and it is NOT present in the master list )

and one of my modules (the only one I have ever posted) is not present in the master list , and I did not remove it

MMM-SleepWake.

If the script doesn’t find an image with ‘screenshot’ or ‘example’ at the beginning of the name it takes the first it finds .

The prerequisite for the whole thing is that a free license is specified in the package.json. If there is no package.json and no free license, no image will be searched.

Stats were great, fixed most of the issues identified in my modules.

Nice, thank you! I just updated the list and a lot of issues disappeared 👏

On my keyboard it’s just +

and its useless

I think it’s worth striving to call things by their proper names, so I don’t find the test useless. Feel free to just ignore it :-)

You are right, functionally there is no need for this. However, the file is a good source of information that is interesting for the website - e.g. keywords.

MMM-Alexa

Do you know if the original module (https://github.com/sakirtemel/MMM-alexa) still works? Otherwise I should mark it as outdated.

and one of my modules (the only one I have ever posted) is not present in the master list , and I did not remove it. MMM-SleepWake

I’ve added it now :-)

sdetweil

@KristjanESPERANTO I have no info on MMM-Alexa or why i forked it

I added ‘for the website’ at the end of the sentence. I hope that this is clearer.

Thanks for the feedback :-)

sdetweil

@KristjanESPERANTO I have no website.

KristjanESPERANTO

@sdetweil Yes, I mean this website: https://kristjanesperanto.github.io/MagicMirror-3rd-Party-Modules/. Information from the package.json files is used there.

BKeyport

@KristjanESPERANTO “This” instead of “The” perhaps?

KristjanESPERANTO

@BKeyport Good suggestion :-) But what do you think of this:

No keywords in 'package.json'. We would use them as tags on the module list website.

BKeyport

@KristjanESPERANTO Kinda awkward, honestly.

KristjanESPERANTO

@BKeyport Sorry, I tend to use the logic of my native language in my English sentences 😅

BKeyport

@KristjanESPERANTO I figured that’s what it was. Not a big deal - everyone here don’t speak english properly, even us native speakers. 🤣`

KristjanESPERANTO

@BKeyport 😆

I thought “This” doesn’t fit so well because the sentence is on the page with the issues and not on the page of the modules where the keywords are used. Is the following issue messages less awkward? Do you have another idea?

There are no keywords in 'package.json'. We would use them as tags on the module list page.

There is no 'package.json'. We need this file to gather information about the module for the module list page.

BKeyport

@KristjanESPERANTO

There is no package.json. We need this file to gather information about the module for this website

is what I meant.

Hi @KristjanESPERANTO does it expect the example.png in a specific folder (such as img/ or /) or can it also lookup in docs/?

sdetweil

@KristjanESPERANTO and, this impacts my scripts as i use package.json as the indicator for doing an npm install in the module folder.

No, you can put it where ever you want :-)

There are some modules that only have devDependencies, so your script already makes unnecessary npm install calls. Can you adjust your trigger and check whether dependencies are set in the package.json?
