Cannot find module '#server_functions'

chrisfr1976

Hi,
I’ve updated to the latest Version today using at first the update script. I have some trouble with the calendar display and the newsfeed. I just started a blank Mirror instance. A module #server_functions is missing. I don’t know how to fix that.

What I’ve tried so far is

getting serverOnly folder from the repo manually
switched manually again to master branch and reinstalled all node_modules
uses npm install manually

This is the log:

#server_functions is an alias for js/server_functions.js which is defined in package.json:

        "imports": {
                "#module_functions": {
                        "default": "./js/module_functions.js"
                },
                "#server_functions": {
                        "default": "./js/server_functions.js"
                }
        },

Because axios is the only diff your package.json should contain above lines.

I have no idea anymore (maybe corrupt sd card).

sdetweil

@chrisfr1976 can you do

Stop MagicMirror

cd -/MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

Start MagicMirror

npm start

Also, can you send me the
~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

My email is same user id as here, at gmail

sdetweil

I don’t see that error in my test of npm run server.

chrisfr1976

@sdetweil and @karsten13, I think I solved my problem.
In the beginning when I used the update script it stopped with the node-version but didn’t update. So I updated manually by using the original code from Node JS. So I installed node v22.20.0. Later I went again down to v22.18.0. Maybe this caused some trouble. But Maybe not. rm -rf node_modules and npm install I did already 3 times before.

But now I modified the calendarfetcher.js and newsfeedfetcher.js:

This was removed:

const { getUserAgent } = require("#server_functions");
const { scheduleTimer } = require("#module_functions");

and replaced by this:

const getUserAgent = () => "MagicMirror v2.33.0";
const scheduleTimer = (timerRef, interval, callback) => {
    clearTimeout(timerRef);
    return setTimeout(callback, interval);
};

No errors and Calendar/Newsfeed is displayed as before. I don’t know exactly if there are any new issues now but so far I’m happy.

sdetweil

@chrisfr1976 I’d really like to see the upgrade.log file
~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

Email to Me , same userid as here at gmail

chrisfr1976

@sdetweil Hey, no problem generally but I‘m out until Thursday. I‘ll send it then.
