Compliments module has stopped working
-
@sdetweil thanks for your reply. Just to be clear you mean i should not edit the compliments.js file and any configs should be in the config.js file (Sorry probably a newbie question but im still learning)
The mm.sh code is listed below:
cd ./MagicMirror DISPLAY=:0 npm startI hope this is what you are after.
-
@geekhouri the mm.sh should be
cd ~/MagicMirror~ means logged on users home folder
config.js, yes
{ module:"compliments", position:"....." config:{ compliments: your compliments config {.. } } }the system design is
whatever is in config.js, overrides/replaces what is defined in the module defaults section -
@sdetweil thanks for your feedback, i have updated my config.js file but now i run into the config file error and MM does not load. Code is below as is the error after running config: check
{ module: "compliments", position: "top_bar" config: { compliments: { anytime: ["Be Smart, Be Kind, Be Like Jesus!"], morning: ["Good morning!", "Enjoy your day!", "How was school"], afternoon: ["How was School?", "Finish Your homework?"], evening: ["Sweet Dreams", "You look nice!", "Ready for School"], "....-01-12": ["Happy new year!"] "....02-12": ["Happy Birthday E!"] "....03-12": ["Happy Birthday Z!"] "....05-12": ["Happy Birthday G!"] } },npm run config:check

Thanks again

@geekhouri said in Compliments module has stopped working:
Line 68 column 4: Parsing error: Unexpected token config
yes, 99% of the time that means the line before was missing a trailing comma (which means more lines coming for this item)
your last 4 lines of the compliments list do not have the trailing comma
and the position linejust because I didn’t include it my text above doesn’t mean it’s not required…
-
@sdetweil made those changes and MM is working again however i the compliments are still not visible? Any thoughts?
-
@geekhouri also missing a close } before the last one
{ module: "compliments", position: "top_bar", config: { compliments: { anytime: ["Be Smart, Be Kind, Be Like Jesus!"], morning: ["Good morning!", "Enjoy your day!", "How was school"], afternoon: ["How was School?", "Finish Your homework?"], evening: ["Sweet Dreams", "You look nice!", "Ready for School"], "....-01-12": ["Happy new year!"], "....02-12": ["Happy Birthday E!"], "....03-12": ["Happy Birthday Z!"], "....05-12": ["Happy Birthday G!"], } // end of compliments } // end of config } // end of moduleyou should see the error where you start mm…
if using pm2, then
pm2 logs --lines=50 -
@sdetweil still nothing, here is my code in full and the pm2 logs:
{ module: "compliments", position: "top_bar", config: { compliments: { anytime: ["Be Smart, Be Kind, Be Like Jesus!"], morning: ["Good morning!", "Enjoy your day!", "How was school"], afternoon: ["How was School?", "Finish Your homework?"], evening: ["Sweet Dreams", "You look nice!", "Ready for School"], "....-01-12": ["Happy new year!"], "....02-12": ["Happy Birthday E!"], "....03-12": ["Happy Birthday Z!"], "....05-12": ["Happy Birthday G!"], } //end of compliments } //end of config }, //end of modulePm2 logs as follows:

@sdetweil thanks again. Saved the file, flushed the logs rebooted and new log is below no new errrors and i think you previously stated the errors below cant be hidden. . Still no Compliments working (i’m at a loss now)

@geekhouri ok, lets stop using pm2…
pm2 stop all
then
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm startwait
if you are doing this on the MM screen
ctrl-q to stop mm (with pm2, it would restart it immediately… thats is job)so, see anything in the output??
I used your config and it worked (on v2.26) without any issues
