MMM-AlarmClock popup not appearing when alarm goes off

[jjd]

Hi, I’m having a problem with MMM-AlarmClock where the popup (to dismiss the alarm) isn’t appearing when the alarm goes off.

This was working fine for me, and then I upgraded to the latest Raspbian, MagicMirror, and MMM-AlarmClock and the popup stopped appearing. I posted on the module’s github, but got no responses: https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-AlarmClock/issues/48

My (test) configuration is:

    modules: [
	{
	    module: 'MMM-AlarmClock',
	    position: 'middle_center',
	    config: {
		alarms: [
		    { 
			time: "11:19", 
			days: [0,1,2,3,4,5,6], 
			sound: 'alarm.mp3', 
			title: "title", 
			message: "message", 
		    },
		],
		touch: true, 
		popup: true,
	    }
	},
    ]

I’m using a Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 1.2 with Pi 7-inch Touchscreen running Raspbian 12 (bookworm). My node version is 20.15.0, my MagicMirror version is v2.28.0 and the MMM-AlarmClock version is 2.0.2.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

I eventually figured this out: I hadn’t had alert listed in the modules list.
