MMM-Remote-Control show error on start

[cruunnerr]

Hey guys,

i freshly installed MM manually on a RPi 3 with Raspbian Jessie.

MM starts and i am able to use the Remote Control, but i also get this error from the Remote-Control module. The error is shown 4 times directly behind each other.

How i already said… i can access the Mirror by http://my.RPi.IP.address:8080/remote.html

So everything is working fine, but i don’t know why this occurs

@cruunnerr Just from the stack trace and mention of git, I have a suspicion that this where MMM-Remote-Control polls Github for the git status of each installed module (are you running four third-party mods?). If MM is still working, it seems that it fails gracefully and is not causing problems. It appears that its node_helper.js on line 240 has a replace() call that is not receiving a proper string (or regex?).

Hmm,

i am running several 3rd Party modules. All modules in config.js:

GoogleMapsTraffic
alert
Watchdog
Remote Control
Remote Control Repository
Buttons
Podcast
Clock
EasyPix
NOAA
MovieListings
SystemStats
Scrobbler
CalendarEXT
MyCommute
OilTank (just installed this morning, but the error was before)

Maybe @Jopyth has an idea.

The odd thing is, that i already installed a Mirror with the exactly same modules and got no error. But this was with Raspbian Stretch lite, now i am using Jessie Desktop. But i cannot imagine that this causes the error

@cruunnerr I have just encountered the same error, MM loads on my display BUT i cannot connect to remote-control from a browser. Running stock modules - weather + wunderground, remote-control, remote-control-repository and iFrameReload. Remote access worked fine yesterday before installing iFrame last night. Gonna do some troubleshooting.

If it is in this line, then something is wrong when I get the fetch url. Maybe a module without any remote, but it somehow it not caught in the if statemate to catch errors? Maybe the result[0].refs does not necessarily have a fetch url?
