Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module

[sdetweil]

@SteakExpert yes , so you need to look in the output of npm start

[SteakExpert]

@sdetweil The only feedback it produces is:

[WARN] You're using a full whitelist configuration allow for all IPs

[sdetweil]

@SteakExpert are you using pm2?

if so, pm2 logs --lines=xxx

xxx is the most recent lines

there should be a lot more output

[sdetweil]

@SteakExpert this is my startup

> npm run start:x11

I have MMM-Config debug enabled

[sdetweil]

@SteakExpert said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:

“builder encountered a problem, see MagicMirror messages for info”

yeh, that message was put there to tell you what to do instead of being dead

that means the error trap worked…

[SteakExpert]

@sdetweil Just emailed you the log! Thanks, Sam.

[sdetweil]

@SteakExpert there is more after that that I need…

[sdetweil]

@SteakExpert we are looking for content in the MagicMirror runtime messages (from npm start ) that might look like this (forced an error just to get the content)

 [LOG]   stdout: --------------------MMM-Config
module MMM-Carousel has an error in the construction of its defaults section
the error line is     transitionTimeout: somevalue,
please change it to the literal value of the referenced defaults variable
and restart MagicMirror
--------------------MMM-Config

the browser message is the last part setup of the error handler

[DarkV]

I am a noob at this, how do I set the port to use the browser and how do I show the QR code on my MM?

[sdetweil]

@DarkV the default port is 8080

you can edit in config.js and change the number, or change it in the form

and in the MMM-Config config set showQR to true
or change it in the form
the doc mentions how to open the form directly in a browser

note on the QR you MUST change config.js to support outside MagicMirror system access, per the doc
