new update/upgrade script, ready for testing

When did you run it? I’ve just done it minutes ago and it works fine. @sdetweil has been working on it but I believe he has ironed out most, if not all of the kinks.

So, when did you run it?
Errors during the upgrade or after the upgrade?
What were the errors?

@Mykle1 I will send it tomorrow and also what I have done! Thanks for your time

@trividar

Well, I would think you have nothing to lose by running the upgrade script again. Simply open a new terminal and copy and paste the script into the terminal and press enter.

trividar

this is what I get:

> cd - >/dev/null
> date +"Upgrade ended - %a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" >>$logfile
> else
> echo It appears MagicMirror has not been installed on this system
> echo please run the installer, "raspberry.sh" first
> fi

Can it be because my path has the same folder name twice? /Users/s****/MagicMirror/MagicMirror

Mykle1

@trividar

Hmm, perhaps. The installer may be looking for the MM installation inside /Users/s****/MagicMirror. Can you move the MagicMirror folder with the installation OUT of the containing MagicMirror folder. Rename the containing MagicMirror folder to something else and put the MagicMirror folder containing the MM installation here /Users/s****/MagicMirror and try again?

@trividar yeh, he assumes MagicMirror is THE folder where things are installed…

@gonzonia yes, the upgrade script from the master github site has a bug,

please erase that one file

~/MagicMirror/installers/dumpactivemodules.js

and then use the link to the script from this topic page1

Hi Sam, updating MM to 2.10.0 using your script. At the end the test run says:

any *-lock.json files do not need to be saved
do you want to save these files for later   (Y/n)?Y
git: 'git_user_name' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
no modules found needing npm refresh
restoring custom.css
test run, restoring files stashed
git: 'git_user_name' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The upgrade.log file does not give a clue as to what exact command was used.
I am not into git, so cannot give you anything more than the git version

pi@MagicPi:~ $ git --version
git version 2.11.0

Any ideas ?

Best regards,
E.J.

@evroom great find!..

give it another try please…

git wants all operations to be tagged with the users email address and name.
but if you haven’t provided one, I use a temporary approach…

I can of course save and restore during the apply, but I do not know if this is what you want /expect.
