issues updating MMM-calendar EXT3

[JMac]

I’ve had the notification that this module needs an update, the guidance says go into the module folder and run “git pull” when I run this I get an error of,
your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by the merge: package-lock.json
please commit them or stash them before you merge.
Aborting.

How do I mitigate for this issue without causing fundamental problems with my MM setup, It’s working perfectly at the moment and I don’t want to a knock down the first domino in chain of potential issues.

Cheers.

@nschertz git checkout

restores it from the local source repo

git reset
removes it from the staged to be submitted as a change

I posted the checkout first, then a user posted reset and I blindly followed it…
my mistake

[sdetweil]

@JMac the package-lock.json was updated by the last npm install

so do this, in the module folder

git checkout package-lock.json

then the

npm install

[JMac]

@sdetweil used both of those then tried to up date the rest of the module and still get the same issue when running git pull in the module folder, this is what it says;
hint: Pulling without specifying how to reconcile divergent branches is
hint: discouraged. You can squelch this message by running one of the following
hint: commands sometime before your next pull:
hint:
hint: git config pull.rebase false # merge (the default strategy)
hint: git config pull.rebase true # rebase
hint: git config pull.ff only # fast-forward only
hint:
hint: You can replace “git config” with “git config --global” to set a default
hint: preference for all repositories. You can also pass --rebase, --no-rebase,
hint: or --ff-only on the command line to override the configured default per
hint: invocation.

sorry, brain fart…

you need the git pull
after the git reset , before the npm install

[JMac]

@sdetweil so just to be clear its,
git checkout package-lock.json
git reset
git pull
npm install

within the calendar ext3 module folder?

[sdetweil]

@JMac no

# put package-lock.json back to last git clone state
git checkout package-lock.json
# update the module
git pull
# rerun npm install  with new code
npm install

all in the module folder

# lines are comments and will be ignored if you copy paste that whole thing

@sdetweil I just encountered the same problem and followed your instructions in your last post. This did not fix the problem. I continue to get the same error

“your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by the merge: package-lock.json
please commit them or stash them before you merge.
Aborting.”

Thoughts on what to do next?

@nschertz you ARE in the module folder, right?

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3
git checkout package-lock.json
git pull
npm install

right?

[BKeyport]

just for information, the real issue is the the lock file is included in the package, right?

[sdetweil]

@BKeyport and it gets updated by npm install

You can do npm ci
Which will ONLY install the EXACT versions listed in the lock file, even if it’s wrong for your system
