Unable to run MMM-pihole-stats

[BatterseaBridge]

I’m running MM2.25 on a Raspberry Pi 3 and Pihole 5.17.2 on a Raspberry Pi 2. MM runs fine until I try to add the config.js settings required for MMM-pihole-stats. I’ve copied the module files to the MMM-pihole-stats module directory per the module instructions.

Here’s the error after launching MM:

[22.12.2023 10:32.45.964] [ERROR] (node:2558) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /home/merj/MagicMirror/node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js from /home/merj/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-pihole-stats/node_helper.js not supported.

I’ve tried multiple config.js options according to the MMM-pihole-stats documentation and the error always remains the same. Glad to share config.js (which passes rpm run config:check test).

Thanks in advance.

@BatterseaBridge u need to load a different lib for node-fetch

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-pihole-stats
npm install node-fetch@2

restart MagicMirror

Sam, thank you so much! MM started right up with pihole stats no problem after installing the different lib. I spent days trying to troubleshoot this module.

Why was that ‘different lib for node-fetch’ missing from my original pihole module (or MagicMirror) install? I followed all of the module (and MM) instructions. A little frustrating!

Thanks again!

Why was that ‘different lib for node-fetch’

well a couple of things

1. the author used the mm copy without knowing
2. we stopped providing it in this release, as we moved over to the built in fetch (aka supported) in node 18 and up
3. without a number, you get the latest, but we aren’t an es6 library based runtime. (import vs require)

most developers here are not professionals
so we ( I didn’t 5 yrs ago) didn’t understand all this dependency stuff
