MMM-Random Fact

[lauxtert]

The language was set automatically, after a reboot of the pi it ran then.

[Ramez]

@lauxtert @cowboysdude same here it stays in" getting a fact" (in my language)…restarting does nothing and setting global config language also does nothing only english is working! here is the error I get

{node:1148} UnhandeledPromiseRejectWarning: Unhandeled promise rejection {rejection id: 1}: Error
{node:1148} [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandeled promise rejection are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handeled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zer exit code.

My module fails as well and I blame the following message in my developer’s console

[Violation] 'message' handler took 767ms

It is not directly linked to the module but is coming up since I had it installed just now

[lavolp3]

@lavolp3 module works after a complete reboot. Sorry for the bothering :-)

[Ramez]

@lavolp3 glad it’s working…could you try to change it’s language and see if it still works?

[lavolp3]

@ramez to be honest, it doesn’t work again. Can’t really find the reason for that.
My confige entry:

    {
        disabled: false,
        module: 'MMM-rfacts',
        position: 'top_right',
        config: {
            lang: "de",  //facts will be translated to this language according to ISO-639$
            updateInterval: 10 * 60 * 1000, // every 10 minutes
            animationSpeed: 10,
            initialLoadDelay: 875, // 0 seconds delay
            retryDelay: 1500,
            fadeSpeed: 7
        }
    },

IN the pm2 logs I only get this

0|mm       | (node:10423) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 53): Error

Do a git pull…should be fixed now :) Check the config below…
Actually this is THE only thing you need in your config.js file …

```
 {
    disabled: false,
    module: 'MMM-rfacts',
    position: 'top_right', 
  },

@cowboysdude sorry, but still same error

[cowboysdude]

@ramez Not really sure as I cannot duplicate your error and no one else seems to be having the issue.

[Mykle1]

I just downloaded the most recent version and fired it up.

[lavolp3]

Well for me this module does not work as well (only showing “Eine Tatsache bekommen” in German) and I have again Unhandled Rejection Warnings, which are not errors however… but I have the feeling they are related to the problem.

(node:25288) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error
0|mm       | (node:25288) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.
0|mm       | (node:25288) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 2): Error

I only get these when I activate this module

I’m not seeing that at all and I have plenty of modules loading along with it. Have you tried running this module by itself?

[joela85]

Is there a config option to show/hide the “Random Fact” title if you just want the fact?
Alternatively, would positioning and colour customisation of the title be done in CSS?

[Mykle1]

@joela85

Both can be achieved in custom.css file

.MMM-rfacts .title {
    display:none;
    (or positioning and colour customisation)
}

.MMM-rfacts .description  {
    (positioning and colour customisation code here)
}

[joela85]

Great, thank you. I will take a look at that when I have a little bit of spare time.

[Ramez]

@mykle1 yep, it does work ONLY when set to english but other languages has a problem as stated here due to error in promise.all() function Here …please try to change your language to any other to confirm the error and let us know.

@lavolp3 it’s the same error of mine.

[Mykle1]

@ramez

Ahh ok. I’m sure the author will address the issue when he has time.

[cowboysdude]

Is fixed…git pull…enjoy your weekend. Thanks @Mykle1

[dirkie]

I’m getting the same issues.
entry in config:
{
disabled: false,
module: ‘MMM-rfacts’,
position: ‘bottom_bar’
},
but it only shows “Ein Tatsache bekommen…”. I did “git pull” today and I am up to date.

Any hint?

[cowboysdude]

@dirkie Yes…the api is strange… if you hit it too many times they will lock you out for a couple days…

Give it time and it should work again.
