node_helper.js is not working?

@vandy2424

when you start mm,do

 npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1

that will capture all the backend output

the front end said it started the modules listed in that config.js

[vandy2424]

@sdetweil yes here are the contents of the config folder:

@sdetweil I did this and exported a file out. I then went ahead and ran the MagicMirror for 2 minutes.

Here is the output (same as before):

@vandy2424 bizarre, ok try this

cd ~
find . -type f -name config.js

there was a path resolve fix for config.js in this release

[vandy2424]

@sdetweil it returned the same location:

jackson@raspberrypi:~ $ find . -type f -name config.js
./Documents/MagicMirror/config/config.js

[sdetweil]

@vandy2424 weird. the console output doesn’t match…

ok, another thing, MagicMirror not running

ps -ef | grep -i magic

[sdetweil]

@vandy2424 according to the backend log, calendar was not a loaded module, so never get any data, loading… will be the only output

[vandy2424]

@sdetweil Hopefully this is what you were looking for here:

jackson@raspberrypi:~ $ ps -ef | grep -i magic
jackson   1781   806  0 08:21 ?        00:05:02 geany /home/jackson/Documents/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Cocktails/node_helper.js
jackson   6037  1698  0 18:17 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i magic

[sdetweil]

@vandy2424 well, it’s something…

[vandy2424]

@sdetweil This is true, but in the backend log, none of my modules say they were loaded, and never have. Just mentions loading config and loading module helpers.

The clock & weather still work without showing they were loaded on the backend. (maybe this doesn’t matter since they don’t use a node_helper.js class).
