MMM-NetworkScanner help needed

The mac address scanner was working up until yesterday when a new version came out. If you look at your logs you can see it is doing MAC scanning. Mine keeps throwing an error saying the module ‘ping’ is missing.

I don’t want to scan by IP address because I have some machines that I don’t have ping enabled.

After I assigned static IP addresses via my FIOS router the scanner started working, somewhat. Then I rearranged my mirror, somewhat.

@Mykle1 yap, mine is no longer working after updating the module :'( I think there is something wrong with the new module for MAC comparison. Hope the author fix this soon.

@slametps I think so too. I could not get it to work with MAC addresses. Assigning static IP addresses is the only way I could get it to work, and even that was not perfect, as it would not show my desktop as active , even with a static ip address

Im sure because you have the firewall on, it won’t ping if thats the case. This is one of the reasons I want to do it by MAC address.

Unfortunately, mine was not working, neither MAC nor IP. :sob:
While I tracing the execution through console log, the problem is in here:

...
payload.forEach(function (item) {
                var device = self.getDeviceByMacAddress(item); // device is null, although self.getDeviceByMacAddress() return not null. still no idea.
                console.log("devices: " + device);
                if (device) {
                    device.online = true;
                    device.lastSeen = moment();
                    self.networkDevices.push(device);
                }
            });
...

in this context self has no meaning - add var self = this; to the top of the function or replace self with this

self is already defined in the original complete code. the original author @ianperrin will take a look into the latest code (v0.0.2, I presume).
@Mykle1 : For now, I downloaded the previous version (tags v0.0.1 before the official bugs free the new version v0.0.2 fixed/released), and work like a charm.

git clone --tags v0.0.1 https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-NetworkScanner.git

I just fresh cloned the (new) latest version (rather than update/git pull), it is working flawlessly now. Thx to @ianperrin.
