Default weather module stuck loading after latest MM update

@sdetweil Thanks, You solve a 2 weeks headache problem wit this line:

weatherEndpoint: “/onecall”,

JMac

@sdetweil so my config was identical to above, so I’ve added you new line “weatherEndpoint…”

I’m using Putty to access the MM and used pm2 to stop the MM.
which it did.
However now, pm2 via Putty is no longer having any effect on the MM.
MM isn’t launching.

run pm2 logs mm and get a parsing error over adding the new line
unexpected token weatherEndpoint your configuration file contains syntax errors.

all I’ve added is weatherEndpoint: “/onecall”, to a final line under the apiKey line above.

any thoughts?

edit to add, pm2 status and logs show that pm2 exists still it’s just not launching. can pm2 be “updated” or should I follow the process for a first install?
for completeness I don’t want it to launch MM on boot I just want to be able to start and stop the MM using pm2.

@JMac did u have the trailing comma

we added code to stop MagicMirror coming up with garbage profile on error

JMac

@sdetweil I have it exactly as you have it above.

can you share a config for this module as an example?
I can’t even check if this is working with pm2 not launching the MM

@JMac

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

@sdetweil Adding ‘weatherEndpoint: “/onecall”,’’ gives some kind of weather, but for the wrong location I presume (26C but it is only 15C here).
So, location ID does not work with API 3.0; it worked with 2.5.
Somebody have the solution?
Lat/ Lon?

That parsing error is for the new line added in for weatherEndpoint

sdetweil

@JMac yes, the line before needs a trailing comma

@Peter Found it in the documentation!

Note: Latitude and longitude are REQUIRED if weatherEndpoint is set to ‘/onecall’. The locationID and location options are ignored when the OpenWeatherMap One Call API is used.

@MaXi-XCeL it works!
Thanks,
Peter
