Adding new modules leads to irreversible error

@rudibarani IF the mirror runs fine the error is of no concern. They know it’s there but it hasn’t been a problem.

Good luck.

Hi everyone,
thanks for your help and feedback. I have completely wiped my system and started again from scratch. This time, I can add modules without any errors. This indicates, that there likely was a problem with the framework nodejs and or MM2 depended on.

There is one noticeable difference: When I am connected using SSH, I can only start the Mirror using

node serveronly

The command I used up to now

DISPLAY=:0 npm start

does not work any more.
Is this intended behaviour?

I also started having this issue. To be more precise, attempting to load any module which utilizes a node_helper results in the same error.
I then realized that I’d mistakenly deleted the MagicMirror/modules/node_modules/ folder (thinking that I’d somehow put it there by mistake.

To resolve: try to put node_modules back, along with the node_helper folder within it.

To accomplish this you can run npm install in the MagicMirror directory.

EDIT

I just realized that you responded to a one year old post. :-)

Top Google results ftw :)
Your suggestion would have been helpful to know though. Thanks for the info!
