New module installer

[sdetweil]

@plainbroke hm…

can you open the module folder and see if

module_form_schema.json

is present

also can you open the config page

http://server:port/modules/MMM-Config/review

[sdetweil]

@plainbroke if you go to /installer it redirects to the correct url

When I ran it with review it came back.
Cannot GET /modules/MMM-Config/installer

[plainbroke]

@sdetweil

I am going to turn in been sick for the last 2 days. worn out…

@plainbroke I just did a fresh install on a new MM… on a different machine

when I bring up the MM page it works
when I bring up the installer page it works… takes a few seconds
when I open the MMM-Config/review page the configuration page comes up

open the installer page
http://server:port/installer
open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i
go to the console tab , see if there are any errors
open the sources tab
 left nav
selec modules,
  mmm-config
      module_installer
             select the form-client.js
             scroll the source to line 120, click on the line number
             should turn blue

like this

hit f5 refresh the page

it should look like this

you should be able to scroll the mouse over the words incoming_json
and it should pop up a big window of the json

like this

@plainbroke feel better… this is not that important

[sdetweil]

@plainbroke i pushed a bunch of fixes.

[plainbroke]

@sdetweil
I removed it with rm -rf MMM-Config
Then rebooted Pi
Then reinstalled with:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config
cd MMM-Config
npm install
THAT DID NOT WORK.
threw all kinds of errors in shift+ctrl+i
So I went back to the
cd MMM_Config module and ran
git pull
git checkout with_installer
npm install
rebooted the Pi
Now it works.
Why I do not know.
But it does. I am going to try it out with MMM-MPlayer.
Thanks for the great work…

@plainbroke said in New module installer:

git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config

yes, that will put you on the root branch main or master
you have to checkout the other branch that has the installer function in it
