@sdetweil No i’ve never gotten this module to work properly. it keeps throwing off this error. Ive checked everything and cant seem to find why. API is valid etc etc.

@sdetweil try these steps in the module folder

don’t need yarn install

sdetweil

@ethanmaxim it’s a packaging error

Could be a faulty installation…

At the 3rd Party Modules page on GitHub you’ll find 2 different versions of the MMM-GoogleTrafficTimes module; an old one from pjestico and a newer one from Jacopo1891.

I couldn’t get the Jacopo1891 version working, so I tried the pjestico version (on MacOS), and got the following error at installation:

npm ERR! Your cache folder contains root-owned files, due to a bug in
npm ERR! previous versions of npm which has since been addressed.
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! To permanently fix this problem, please run:
npm ERR!   sudo chown -R 501:20 "/Users/harriev/.npm"

It fixed the problem indeed, the module worked fine afterwards.
Then, I removed the old module, installed the Jacopo1891 version and that
worked as well.
