Update MMM

[mattx38]

This update broke a lot of things… What a pain !

[sdetweil]

@mattx38 for hotword, from the hotword doc, try
in the MMm_Hotword folder

git clone https://github.com/Kitt-AI/snowboy.git
cd snowboy
rm -rf .git
cp -r resources/models ..
npm install -y nan node-pre-gyp
./node_modules/node-pre-gyp/bin/node-pre-gyp clean configure build
npm install -y
npm install -y electron-rebuild
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

its because electron changed versions… some modules are compiled at certain node and electron versions
if u change the versions (how would u know), then these modules break… Hotword and PIR are two such modules…

Now it is the Jarvis Assitant :

yep assistant… same problem as hotword… incompatible binary versions

assistant doc

Then, you need to rebuild grpc module for electron of MagicMirror.

npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

[sdetweil]

for pir-sensor try

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install electron-rebuild
node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

For the last command, it is very long to achieve ; 5 minutes that it runs.
It’s written : Building module : grpc, Completed: 0

@mattx38 every machine is different… I ignore how long it takes…

did i work?

[mattx38]

Don’t know yet.
Did I do something wrong with the update ?
Everything seams to be broken…

Anyway, thank you very much for your precious help and sorry for my poor english (I’m from France)

[sdetweil]

@mattx38 no issue… the ‘default’ instructions don’t consider all the other things that will break.

even my upgrade script does not handle these problems… as they are so module specific…

my french is a LOT worse than your english!..

[mattx38]

Ok I understand.
I saw a message on the Remote Control module github and it seams there is also a problem with it after the MMM update.

My MagicMirror was running as a charm till this update. I saw the alert on the MM screen so I did it… what a shame
