MMM-Sunrise-Sunset

[dankerthrone]

@sdetweil: Thank you so much for your help here. I’m having the exact same problem as @pugsly did, but unfortunately your suggestions seem to not do the trick. I was wondering if you could help me out, too. So far I got:

                        {
			module: "MMM-Sunrise-Sunset",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			config: {
				apiKey: "xxx", 				
				latitude: "xx.03586",
				longitude: "xx.06379",
				timezone: "Europe/Berlin",
				layout: "inline"
				}
		},

My screen stays black, though, and the developer console is giving me this:

Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined
at Class.updateSun (MMM-Sunrise-Sunset.js:33)
at Class.start (MMM-Sunrise-Sunset.js:12)
at startModules (loader.js:55)
at loader.js:40
at HTMLLinkElement.stylesheet.onload (loader.js:200)

I even tried executing your suggestions as root, thinking that I must’ve done something wrong, but I got the same error messages as before:

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Sunrise-Sunset# npm install jquery
npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/package.json'

What am I missing here?

@dankerthrone said in MMM-Sunrise-Sunset:

Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined

cp node/modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js .

should be (notice the underscore, _ instead of the slash /)

cp node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js .

[dankerthrone]

That seems to have been a copy/paste-error. My terminal history shows it with the underscore. To make sure, I tried it once again, but still get

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Sunrise-Sunset $ cp node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js .
cp: cannot stat 'node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js': No such file or directory

@dankerthrone weird
show the output of

cd  ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Sunrise-Sunset
ls node_modules -laF

[dankerthrone]

@sdetweil

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Sunrise-Sunset $ ls node_modules -laF
ls: cannot access 'node_modules': No such file or directory

… I’m starting to wonder if I messed up something bigger in the beginning since almost any change I apply to config.js results in weird errors.

after rebooting, the black screen of MagicMirror now shows this in the developer console:

I’m really starting to think I do something stupid everytime I install/clone a module from github. I do follow each readme.md for installation, but somehow keep messing up :-/

[sdetweil]

@dankerthrone installing a new module is pretty easy

cd MagicMirror/modules
git clone http:// the url of the git repo
cd the name of the module

if there is a package.,json file, then to load its dependencies do

npm install 

then

cd ~/MagicMirror/config
nano config.js

insert the module definition  info, (see the module readme.md)
save

then restart mirror app

this module does NOT list its dependency on jquery as it should
so, you have to fix it manually.

SO, i don’t know where you were when u did the npm install jquery
lets find it

cd ~/MagicMirror
find . | grep jquery\.js

DailyXKCD

the XKCD errors look like poor programming by the author

he tries to find the web content before its there, but doesn’t check if he got the location

[dankerthrone]

@sdetweil
finding jquery as you suggested returns

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ find . | grep jquery\.js
./node_modules/nwmatcher/src/modules/nwmatcher-jquery.js

[sdetweil]

@dankerthrone hm… not where I would have expected it…

so. lets try this again

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Sunrise-Sunset
npm install jquery
ls node_modules/jquery

you should see this

AUTHORS.txt  LICENSE.txt  README.md  bower.json  dist  external  package.json  src

then do

 cp node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js .

then

ls jquery.js

to prove the file is in the module folder

i just did it all here step by step
