birthdaylist - discontinued ?

sdetweil

@rkorell not on modules list
you should have been able to look at my public repositories

did you get it with the link?

also if you have it,
git remote -v

will show you the link where it came from

rkorell

do you use pages, module scheduler or any other thing like that

not “really”. - pages definitely not used
I use MMM-Pir with cron - but this switches off the HDMI communication as far as I understand.
MMM-MagicMover moves but doesn’t hide.

All other of the modules are showing, not hiding anything.

MMM-Profilepicture
MMM-Moonphase
MMM-Globe

@rkorell i signed out of github and went back to
my home page, clicked repositories
put in part of the name

rkorell

@sdetweil said in

@rkorell i signed out of github and went back to

You’re FAR better than me in searching :-)
I gave up at the front page .
as I wrote: MY fault…

@rkorell ok, just wanted to make sure nothing else was going on. github will only allow a user to pin 6 repos on their home page. i have at least 20 things i would pin

i also don’t see anything in your list that would be sending hide requests

i am driving all day today, so i may try to find a debug strategy

my idea is to install MMM-logging, which takes the messages from the browser side and adds them to the messages from the server/node helper side

and then i will give a debug message about which source called hide

but im not sure that will tell us

rkorell

Dear Sam @sdetweil ,
no hurry.
It is definitely not urgent!

Have a safe trip!
I’ve added MMM-logging but cannot see a difference …

Warmest regards,
Ralf

sdetweil

@rkorell have not added messages yet

rkorell

@sdetweil
:-) yes for sure.
But I had assumed that the already given output (from other modules as well) will change …

sdetweil

@rkorell i added some debug for suspending, resuming, and getdom() if suspended

git pull to update

add debug:true
to the config options

you will see the output from mmm-logging

who calls before we suspend ?

Dear Sam,
thanks a lot.

git pull has worked, debug is enabled.
Surprisingly enough today in the morning birthdaylist is NOT disappeared.
This exactly is the kind of error I like most: Unpredictable and not reproducable :-(

Thanks anyway for your really great support (I’m pretty sure you do have more than enough other things to do …)

Checking the console output the “debug” switch works - a lot more of information is showing up.
Several module notifications are received from your module and broadcasted in log.
One single “conspicuousness”: undefined is in init! in line 48 of birthdaylist.js :

(Log.log(this.name + " is in init!");)

The “suspended” status (and therefore “hidden” (??) ) is reached several times - I guess caused by MMM-Pir ? - at least it corresponds definitely with turning off the screen by MMM-Pir.

Warmest regards,
Ralf

rkorell

The suspending call seems indeed to come from MMM-Pir.
But there is always a resuming…

birthdaylist received a module notification: MMM_PIR-SCREEN_POWERSTATUS from sender: MMM-Pir
birthdaylist.js:337 birthdaylist suspending
birthdaylist.js:108 birthdaylist received a module notification: CURRENTWEATHER_TYPE from sender: weather
birthdaylist.js:108 birthdaylist received a module notification: WEATHER_UPDATED from sender: weather
birthdaylist.js:108 birthdaylist received a module notification: WEATHER_UPDATED from sender: weather

2birthdaylist.js:108 birthdaylist received a module notification: MMM_PIR-SCREEN_POWERSTATUS from sender: MMM-Pir

I assume that we have to wait until birthdaylist disappears and then check the written logs afterwards if there is something different (I guess: NOT :-(. )

Regards,
Ralf

sdetweil

@rkorell right we have to wait, thanks for the great info

ill look at the init time message

sdetweil

@rkorell notifications are broadcast. so every module gets every broadcast.

thats why you have to check if the broadcast is for you , but logging them all can give an idea what is going on.

if clock seconds was enabled you would see a notification for that too

rkorell

@sdetweil clock seconds are enabled, as far as I know …
at least I haven’t found a parameter to enable/disable seconds
and second hand is shown …

sdetweil

@rkorell you are using the analog clock, not digital

this for digital

displaySeconds	Display seconds.

Possible values: true or false
Default value: true

and I didn’t see this change

sendNotifications	Enable notifications for elapsed time. Used to be always done send prio to v2.23

Possible values: true, or false
Default value: false

rkorell

@sdetweil Yeah…
You’re right.
I’ve set this - my type of clock is set to “both” because I like sunset and day of week information.

This causes an error in your module…

birthdaylist.js:398 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'startsWith')
    at Class.getBD_DAY_from_Date (birthdaylist.js:398:9)
    at Class.getDom (birthdaylist.js:462:154)

    at module.js:240:9

Not sure if this corresponds with the displaySeconds parameter but seen this error first time…

Regards,
Ralf

rkorell

No, obviously NOT…
I’ve now added “sendNotifications: true” to config.
Mirror reloads and your module starts without this error message.

sdetweil

@rkorell can i see your birthdaylist config

and the date portion of one birthday from the list, which order the date info is in

and this error is trying to check if tye month part starts w a 0
and i figure out which date separator you used
/, or :, or just not ,
and then i split the date with the separator i discovered, they all HAVE to be the same separator and order

rkorell

@sdetweil yes, for sure

Ahh…
in the code listing it shows up a difference …
“10/6/95, 2. Hochzeitstag”
with an additional space and a dot…
is this a problem?
I can change the taxt and delete space if nacessary (althoug I mean I’ve read that you are truncing entries …
But the dot could be eliminated if useful.
