      @karsten13 said in Automatic checking of all MagicMirror² modules:

      did you try to authenticate with a user before making the api requests?

      No, I didn’t. Thanks for the hint! I’ll try that! The documentation sounds promising:

      Additionally, you can make more requests per hour when you are authenticated.

        @KristjanESPERANTO You know, this is turning more and more into a NPM type project.

        Perhaps it’s time to work on getting MM into the NPM ecosystem instead?

                I’ve over simplified as I tend to do.

                What I was thinking of was more along the lines of how Homebridge is doing things. Full on NPM integrations across the board. GUI installer/maintainer. bonus points for GUI configuration tool on their “plugins” etc. Can still get into the weeds if you want to mess with operations under the hood.

                I honestly think it’s time, but I’ve got nowhere near the skill to do it.
                MMM-Config on steroids.

                The pieces are there - we’re just missing the core.

                https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/Getting-Started#step-5-install-and-configure-plugins

                Setting the core up would build in a natural module checking system and weed out the unmaintained stuff for new users, because new users won’t want to install stuff that has no GUI settings and/or unmaintained wouldn’t show in the official repository/search anymore.

                  sounds pretty much like what mmpm does

                    @karsten13 mmpm doesn’t do config editing
                    and to do config editing in a reliable way, we need programming standards too.

                      @sdetweil We already have some standards in place (node_helper.js, naming conventions, package.json, etc) - what’s one more (config-schema.json) for the programmer? Think along the lines of the schema.json file used in MMM-Config.

                      Programmer creates the GUI settings page, using API into a specific file. It’s up to the core to insert result into the main config file. if GUI file isn’t there, then resort to a web based editor.

                      https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/Verified-Plugins describes the process in homebridge’s case. Provide a reward, and bam - We’ve got easier access to the project, making it more widespread, and it completely eclipses the automatic checking process here.

                      Reward for the programmer is rather simple. A badge set thusly - everywhere - in the built in plugin manager’s search, on websites, etc. 725c9b2e-1442-4642-b75e-141f393a87f4-image.png

                      Example - No GUI settings page file (the dead module): 497832aa-62f3-4bf5-aee0-9475eed1cee0-image.png

                      Example - GUI settings page file (my reworked module with more functionality):
                      5e94c71f-2419-4ac8-bdcc-1c48f867acef-image.png

                      and the resulting config (I believe they use JSON rather than JS):

                        @BKeyport I believe we use js because you can have comments, json does not support comments
