Unable to update modules

[sdetweil]

@KumarTRD you are in the module folder, right?

cd  ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Todoist 
rm package-lock.json

[sdetweil]

this file is rebuilt each time by npm install
but it is also included in the git repo for this module, it should not be

[KumarTRD]

@sdetweil correct Sam but do I run the rm package-lock.json in the module folder or in cd /MagicMirror folder? I haven’t tried it in the module folder

rm package-lock.json in the module folder

in the module folder, thats where you were when u got the error

[KumarTRD]

@sdetweil it looks like it’s present in all my modules because I get the same error when attempting to up those as well and my MagicMirror software as well. Any way to complete remove it ?

[sdetweil]

@KumarTRD every module that has a package.json file and uses the step npm install will have a lock file.
but as I said, it should NOT have been included in the git package, because it produces this error, and prevents users from moving forward

[KumarTRD]

@sdetweil ok I’ll give it a try thanks for your assistance.

[KumarTRD]

@sdetweil any way to remove it manually?

[sdetweil]

@KumarTRD to update MagicMirror itself, use my update script
see here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

its a 2 step process… run once to understand what is going on and things u might have to do, run second time to DO the update
