Bugsounet and MMM-Pir

not part of the actual module…

As far as I understood @coernel tried to re-upload bugsounet’s MMM-Pir.
And this modules uses all of these dependencies.
And the original MMM-Pir.js from bugsounet is missing as well in coernel’s re-upload, so it will never work - which is, what @lif has experienced …
So my above suggestion was - if it is intended to have a working copy of bugsounet’s module - to re-investigate the re-uploaded version because there is missing a lot - as mentioned even the core *.js file in the root of the module…

If useful for anybody I’ve created a complete copy of my own working module-directory and uploaded it here for your attention/action.
Please ignore some additional files which I have kept as copies of the original files I had modified.

Hope this is clearer now :-)

@rkorell yes, i posted a warning early after he left to save what you could, without knowing the details of such work effort

[rkorell]

@sdetweil Yes, indeed - we had a chat at these time as you might remember.
And here seems to be an opportunity to do “something” against this "bug"sounet thingi …
As @coernel suggested a re-upload could help (a little bit), so I considered this as a really good and nice idea.
But it went wrong - for unknown reasons the given copy is incomplete.

So my suggestion to complete this ta - at least - have a working copy of an elder status …

@rkorell yeh, or forget it and move to a current module.
very troubling

Thank you everyone, I’m sorry for opening this can of worms.

I’ve now got a Python script that runs at boot and does the job after destroying my MM installation trying to apply upgrades.

[rkorell]

@sdetweil :-).
I like it very much because it offers a lot nice and fancy stuff as the others don’t …
(progress bar, dimming, cron-steering for sleeping times)

@lif can you talk about this python after …

MagicMirror upgrades? if so , did you use my upgrade script?

this highlights a problem. some modules need a refresh install when nodejs and MagicMirror change
so the upgrade script does that. but that wipes the node_modules folder for the module. and the dependencies are also not available anymore.

so, if i DO try the npm install it breaks, if i dont try the npm install it might break. fun times.
i will add a check for the authors url and skip the install action

[sdetweil]

@rkorell i hear yah.

some modules need a refresh install

at least in bugsounet’s README.md there is a hint in this direction …

[sdetweil]

@rkorell yes, but there is nothing I can do… the dependencies no longer exist
he had some integrated update mechanism, I added code to launch that once…
now its dead too…
