No Web UI with MMM-FastNotes

rvnbrg

@sdetweil Yes that works to see the MM on my desktop web browser.
Only the FastNotes WebUI does not load

sdetweil

@rvnbrg ok, looking at the code, it looks like there is a python script that provides that UI

so, in the module folder do

python3 FastNotes.py --host 192.168.178.30 --port 5000 --debug

rvnbrg

@sdetweil That gives me this:

xavier@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-FastNotes $ python3 FastNotes.py --host 192.168.178.30 --port 5000 --debug

@rvnbrg said in No Web UI with MMM-FastNotes:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘escape’ from ‘jinja2’ (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/jinja2/init.py)

that explains the error

rvnbrg

@sdetweil how can I resolve that?

sdetweil

@rvnbrg that I don’t know

rvnbrg

@sdetweil Thank you for your help so far

sdetweil

@rvnbrg i would ask the author

rvnbrg

@sdetweil i did so but no response yet

@rvnbrg Jinja is a dependency of Flask and Flask V1.X.X uses the escape module from Jinja, however recently support for the escape module was dropped in newer versions of Jinja

To fix this issue, simply update to the newer version of Flask V2.X.X in your requirements.txt where Flask no longer uses the escape module from Jinja.

I see there is a requirements.txt where the version of Flask is specified. Maybe updating that to 2.1.1, which is the recommended version that no longer has a dependency on escape would resolve this.

This is all just guessing. Was trying to figure out how this module hangs together. 🫣
