Cannot find module 'module-alias/register'
-
Hi,
since two days now, I keep getting this error-message when (re)starting MagicMirror:
App threw an error during load Error: Cannot find module 'module-alias/register' at Module._resolveFilename (module.js:455:15) at Function.Module._resolveFilename (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/resources/electron.asar/common/reset-search-paths.js:35:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:403:25) at Module.require (module.js:483:17) at require (internal/module.js:20:19) at Object.<anonymous> (/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/app.js:15:1) at Module._compile (module.js:556:32) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:565:10) at Module.load (module.js:473:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:432:12) A JavaScript error occurred in the main process Uncaught Exception: Error: Cannot find module 'module-alias/register' at Module._resolveFilename (module.js:455:15) at Function.Module._resolveFilename (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/resources/electron.asar/common/reset-search-paths.js:35:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:403:25) at Module.require (module.js:483:17) at require (internal/module.js:20:19) at Object.<anonymous> (/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/app.js:15:1) at Module._compile (module.js:556:32) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:565:10) at Module.load (module.js:473:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:432:12)
On a regular base I make a git fetch etc. to make sure MagicMirror is up to date. This morning somehow it wouldn’t start anymore. That’s the error I get when manually starting via
cd ~/MagicMirror DISPLAY=:0 npm start
Any idea how to fix this? … and even more: any idea what might have caused this?
Cheers :)

@DerRheingold did u try to update to the latest release?
if so, there were two steps
git pull
npm install
did u do the second? -
@sdetweil said in Cannot find module 'module-alias/register':
npm install
Thanks, yes that was very helpful. Helped indeed. However I also had to fix one module by deleting and pulling it again, but now it works fine. Thanks once more :)

Hmm - same thing for me. Too much time on my hands, so I updated. And now I get
A JavaScript error occurred in the main process Uncaught Exception: Error: Cannot find module 'module-alias/register' at Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:602:15) at Function.Module._resolveFilename (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/elect ron/dist/resources/electron.asar/common/reset-search-paths.js:35:12) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:528:25) at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:658:17) at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:20:18) at Object.<anonymous> (/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/app.js:15:1) at Object.<anonymous> (/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/app.js:283:3) at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:711:30) at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:722:10) at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:620:32)

from here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts -
@sdetweil
I did (read my way through all the posts)HOWEVER,
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10859/new-update-upgrade-script-ready-for-testing/2
told me to runbash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"
and that made me a new installation that did work.
Sometimes you have to sledgehammer things, I guess.
Thanks for offering to help,

@amanzimdwini that post says
I also have a newer installer that resolves a lot of problems with MM
post 1
saysgiven that we will have a regular update quarterly, and we have such a large number of new users experiencing troubles after updates (mostly cause they have a ton to learn)… I have developed a script I would like to get included for future updates…
but glad u got it working… many cannot just reinstall easily
