if u redirect the output of npm start to a file, this is what you will see in the file

ok, it’s slowly dawning on me, see little light at the end of the tunnel

@Perlchamp if u install the logging module I suggested, then it captures all the messages from the modulename.js in the browser and prints them to the terminal window log, which would be saved to the file as well.

sdetweil · Apr 30, 2020, 5:02 PM

@sdetweil a node_helper has two built in functions (I have never useed init() or stop() for anything, but they are available)

start: when the helper is loaded
socketNotificationReceived, when the modulename.js sends a message to the helper

the helper has one useful function

sendSocketNotification , to send a message back to the modulename.js

everything else is all up to you

note that the modulename.js gets the config.js config:{} info for this module, NOT the node_helper… so if the node_helper needs to know (filenames, timings, ???) , the modulename.js has to send a message with the this.config info down to the helper, and the helper has to save it to use later

@sdetweil said in read csv-data and put it in an array:

if u install the logging module I suggested, then it captures all the messages from the modulename.js in the browser and prints them to the terminal window log, which would be saved to the file as well.

so i also can do (?):
npm start dev
in the window on the right klicking on “console”. there i see a lot of massages coming from console/moduls
and then i can use your module to lock out other modules (?) …

@Perlchamp

so i also can do (?):
npm start dev

yes

can use your module to lock out other modules (

no… it collects all messages. so I add my module name to them…

on windows the notepad++ editor allows you to find all, and gives a new window with the lines
from where the find was done and allows u to click on the find results and navigate to the original file…
very helpful when there is a big log and maybe only 1 or 2 specific messages u are looking for

Perlchamp · Apr 30, 2020, 5:10 PM

ok, understand

Perlchamp · Apr 30, 2020, 5:20 PM

i have another information for you (github - MMM-Logging):

You can find more detailed information on debugging your MagicMirror here: Module Debugging. If you also want the Electron rederer (web browser) console logs to be printed to the standard console (or PM2 logs), change the following line to the very top of ~/MagicMirror/run-start.sh <<

this file does not exist. i can’t find it in the file-manager (i see all hidden files) …
