trouble updating module

sdetweil

@pat59 yes, the output has been sent to the file somefile.txt

please paste its content here

in linux the ‘rule’ is, if all is ok, produce no output… this was set when systems were connected over slow phone lines with modems… so no output was better than waiting to read all was good.

I copy paste the file and it shows me too many characters.
I copy and paste the file and remove txt it tells me invalid file type authorized jpg jpeg png gif what to do?

@pat59 put in code block like always

paste text with empty line above and below
select text just pasted
hit the button </> above the messge editor

you cannot ‘attach’ files… only pictures…

there shouldn’t be that much in the paste output anyhow

neither of those files is very big

@pat59 weird
in the module folder do

git reset  --hard HEAD

this will restore all changed files back to the repo level

then your module update process should work

pat59

always the update message that appears

@pat59 no, in the folder of the module you are having trouble updating

MMM-RemoteControl

as you are having trouble with one module, all the commands would be relative to that module’s folder… right??

pat59

Sorry I don’t understand your question I’m a newbie

pat59

I just noticed that I forgot to put Remote control in the module folder. I did the manipulation again, then did a git pull again and npm install, that’s it, it’s back to normal, no more update messages, a big thank you to you for your help. how can I thank you do you have a kitty to make a donation cordially
