Unable to update modules

[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

Resurrecting an old thread. Still fairly new to this stuff and trying to learn how to solve problems others have had before…

I’ve got notifications that several modules need to be updated and I’m trying to get them done. Currently attempting to update MMM-Remote-Control using the instructions provided :

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control # adapt directory if you are using a different one
git pull
npm install # install (new) dependencies

I am getting the same messages as the OP. I am in the module folder and tried running the rm command and I get this:

~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control $ rm package-lock.json
rm: cannot remove ‘package-lock.json’: No such file or directory

I thought maybe that meant that I had deleted the package-lock and tried running the update command again, but keep getting the same message.

I tried running the install script again, and when asked if I wanted to update (Y), I ended up with the same problem.

Appreciate any guidance. Running MM v2.30.0 (installed using Sam’s scripts) on RPI 3B+.
