I installed this module yesterday and did a little debugging. The request for the graphic works ok (code=200), but the saving to disk doesn’t work for some reason.

The web URL error also means not found. I am away from my system til late today before I can look at it again

ok, we have a timing problem… the file is written, but erased

workaround

change these lines in node_helper.js

			http.get(options, function (response) {
				var pngFiles = payload.mmDir + 'modules/mmm-weatherchart/cache/*.png';
				del([pngFiles]);

to

			var pngFiles = payload.mmDir + 'modules/mmm-weatherchart/cache/*.png';
			del.sync([pngFiles]);
			http.get(options, function (response) {

@Bugsounet ok thank you for the explanation. I tried it with and without sudo, but it doesn’t matter. I have left the last clone of the module without the sudo command.

Today it was very weird, I started my MM² to reinstall the module as @Bugsounet said, and the weatherchart was visible (the first time on my MM²)! After that I decided to change the region of the weatherchart, unfortunately the weatherchart is now gone again. No region is working reliable.

@prototype0815 see the fix above

@prototype0815 see my reply above

@prototype0815 better solution, download my fork of the module with both fixes

stop your magicmirror

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
mv mmm-weatherchart mmm-weatherchart.original
git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/mmm-weatherchart.git
cd mmm-weatherchart
npm install
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

Hey guys thank you all for your help! The sdetweil fork is working very well if “del” is installed too.
:handshake: :thumbs_up: great community

@prototype0815 said in Black screen when insert https://github.com/paphko/mmm-weatherchart:

if “del” is installed too

what does that mean? del was added to the package.json file and should have been installed when u did the new npm install after cloning my repo…

  "dependencies": {
    "del": "^5.1.0",
    "request": "latest"
  }

I did exactly what you had written, but the weatherchart didnt work.
I had to install “del” separately after --> “cloning your repo and use npm install”
