    @emrhssla what is the error?

    open a terminal window or ssh window

    do

    npm start dev &
    

    node_helper output will show up in the terminal window

    then on the mirror UI, developers window
    select the console tab

    note that the filenames are CASE sensitive
    so you code should be in

    mm/modules/MMM-TestPython

      @sdetweil
      in terminal, output is

      pi@raspberrypi:~/Desktop/MagicMirror $ npm start dev &

        @emrhssla i cut/pasted your code to create your module, added it to config.js
        and it performs as expected…

        i get in developers console

        hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~    MMM-Testpython.js:62
         Socket recevied : hello                                        MMM-Testpython.js:71
        

        and in terminal window

        notification : TEST
        

        config entry

        {
          module: "MMM-Testpython",
          disabled: false,
          position: "middle",
          config:{
            
          }
        },

          after the npm start &

          press enter… you should get the prompt back, and can do any command

          add this to your node module start function

            start: function() {
              socketTestpython=this;
              console.log(this.name + " node_helper started")    // < ---- add this
          

          should see this in terminal window

          MMM-Testpython node_helper started
          

          i do

              @emrhssla that console output doesn’t make sense… cause u should have seen this line at least

              Module helper loaded: MMM-Testpython
              

              before the

              Launching application

                  @emrhssla that doesn’t match with the terminal window output…

                  in terminal window only

                  Starting MagicMirror: v2.7.1
                  Loading config …

                  there are only two modules referenced…

                  never mind, two of mine don’t have position and work fine
                  delete ---------also, all modules require a position
