Default Weather Module Stuck on loading.

sdetweil

@fnmuffinman no. I haven’t seen any limits on that provider

Weather is done all in browser
Open the browser developers window
ctrl-shift-i
Select the console tab
Put weath in the filter field

Show the messages

sdetweil

@flyedge also, using the new v3 api settings
The location is specified using lat/lon (not long)
And the only weather types are current and forecast
And endpoint would not be needed, but if provided needs to be ‘/onecall’

See
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.html#configuration-options

@sdetweil so after messing around and trying out a new module (might change my problem here) but seems it still won’t load. I am still pretty green at troubleshooting modules so excuse my lack of knowledge here. I have a screenshot of the spot you asked but for the new module:

sdetweil

@fnmuffinman which module are you using

git remote -v

In the module folder

Tom’s is v3 api only

The original is v2.5 only

From Toms version readme

sdetweil

@fnmuffinman these modules use a helper so debug info is where you npm start , IF the author presents logging

fnmuffinman

@sdetweil alrighty so I got a bit further after a bit more testing and digging into the pm2 logs so here is where I am at.

I am using this module: https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-OpenWeatherForecast

Here is a screenshot of the current error I am seeing in the dev tools

I was seeing a 401 Unauthorized error for a bit but figured out the 3.0 API call thing. I did test the URL from the website with my lat and long with the API key it works. I no longer see those errors in my pm2 logs on the mirror. Here is a screenshot of my current config in the config.js as well

Sorry didn’t want to dox or give my api key :) also as further troubleshooting, here is a screenshot of the api.openweathermap.org URL to show it does work

appreciate the help! my first time truly digging into why a module isn’t working. I have alot more respect for coders lol

sdetweil

@fnmuffinman did you do the npm install in the module folder?

fnmuffinman

@sdetweil I was pretty sure I did but I ran it again and rebooted the mirror to the same results. Still the same error as the above screenshot in the dev tools console. Not sure if it matters, but I do have the mirror booting headless. I don’t remember exactly but it’s part of the startup script so when I reboot the pi, it automatically runs MM and loads it onscreen

sdetweil

@fnmuffinman what do you mean headless?

If no display here, you need to do
npm run server

And access from somewhere else
Make sure to enable config.js to allow other machine access

fnmuffinman

@sdetweil sorry wrong terminology. It is running on a pi connected to a display. I meant headless in I don’t have peripherals on it, just ssh into it from my pc

sdetweil

@fnmuffinman how did you install MagicMirror

What version are you running

cd ~/MagicMirror 
grep version package.json

fnmuffinman

Sorry for the delay!

fnmuffinman

@sdetweil Hi, just checking in to see if you saw my last reply above! If not, I was going to create a new thread with all the troubleshooting you have graciously help me out with to start from there

sdetweil

@fnmuffinman I did, sorry been traveling.

Can you Open the developers window
ctrl-shift-I
Select the console tab
Add weath to the filter field

fnmuffinman

@sdetweil No worries, I figured you were probably busy! Here is what comes up

sdetweil

@fnmuffinman ok, a little more debug

cd ~/MagicMirror
grep nunj package.json

should return

		"nunjucks": "^3.2.4",

then

cd node_modules
ls nunjucks -laF

should return (I am on mac at the moment, with MagicMirror just installed, so dates will be different

drwxr-xr-x   10 sam  staff    320 Feb  3 08:20 ./

then I want to redo the MagicMirror npm install

cd ~/MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

then restart MagicMirror however you do it…

fnmuffinman

@sdetweil alright so i ran those commands. when I got to

ls nunjucks -laF

It returned that directory did not exist, which i would imagine is part of my issue. I then continued with the rest of the commands, then I got this error.

For context, recently I saw notifications on my mirror stating some modules needed to be updated. I ran through the docs for updating those but it’s possible I messed that up and caused myself a bigger problem here.

sdetweil

@fnmuffinman ah…

Node 23 is bad , so we won’t install there

So try either of these commands

n —version
nvm —version

Do either exist?

fnmuffinman

@sdetweil it appears neither do

sdetweil

@fnmuffinman good, thx

Do this

sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 22.21.1
hash -r
node -v

Should show v 22.21.1
If not stop and advise

If ok
Then do

cd ~/MagicMirror 
npm install

Then start MagicMirror
