@BanksyPaint can you check your electron logs by starting the mirror with npm start dev

@BanksyPaint hey are you seeing nothing appear or is it stuck on “Loading”? The module is designed to hide itself if it is outside the time frame window you set in the config, in which case you’ll see nothing at all. If there’s a problem during initialization, then it will be stuck on “Loading”.

Otherwise, can you send me your config? I’ll give it try on my side.

@strawberry-3.141 Thank you :D If not for this, then for future posts.

@j.e.f.f Thanks so much for responding so quickly. I wish I’d posted again last night, though after I got it working, I threw my hands up in confusion and went straight to bed. I nuked the directory, re-cloned from GitHub, and when I did my ‘npm install’, I did so using ‘sudo’ and upon starting MagicMirror, I saw the module load the way others have, and how I would expect to. I don’t know why in my case I needed elevated priv’s for the npm install to work, though I’m not complaining :P

Thanks for being helpful! Also - really excellent module. You’ve really done a great job.

@BanksyPaint it concerns me that you needed to use sudo to run npm install… have you needed to do that with any other modules?

[BanksyPaint]

@j.e.f.f No sir. Though to be fair, with other modules I didn’t run npm install? Happy to start from a clean slate on my next opportunity to see if it’s necessary again (I’m away for the weekend, sadly).

I’ve just started with my magicmirror project and have most of the modules working, for some reason mmm-mycommute gets stuck on “loading…”. This happens even with the default configuration from the wiki. Any suggestions? Thanks! This is my current configuration(with keys and addresses redacted):

{
  module: 'MMM-MyCommute',
  position: 'top_left',
  config: {
    showHeader: false,
    apikey: '',
    origin: '',
    startTime: '00:00',
    endTime: '23:59',
    hideDays: [4],
    destinations: [
      {
        destination: '',
        label: ''
      },
      {
        destination: '',
        label: '',
        avoid: 'tolls'
      }
    ]
  }
}

@jhermes34 Did you remember to run npm install in the MMM-MyCommute directory? Do you see any errors in the pm2 log (Assuming you’re managing MM with pm2).

[jhermes34]

@j.e.f.f I did run the npm installer, the pm2 log gives an error about starting mm.sh

[BanksyPaint]

@jhermes34 There’s an npm install that you need to run in the MMM-MyCommute directory, ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MyCommute. This shouldn’t (?) affect pm2 at all.
