MMM-NYC-Transit Module (Black Screen)

[sdetweil]

@JediJah it is not disabled according to the picture
and the screen is not black

if it were disabled, NOTHING about the module would show…

same as if that entry was not in config.js at all

[JediJah]

@sdetweil I figured thats why I said it was weird.

This is what the module looked like in my config

  {
              module: 'MMM-nyc-transit',
              disabled: "true",
              position: "bottom_right",
              header: "Next Train",
              config: {
                     apiKey: '9b76b0b756f7f9a76d4fe883075c00cf',
                                displayType: 'list',
                                mtaType: 'train',
                                stations: [
                                        {
                                        stationId: 95,
                                        walkingTime: 5,
                                        dir: {
                                                upTown: false,
                                                downTown: true
                                             }
                                        },
                                        {
                                        stationId: 95,
                                        walkingTime: 5,
                                        dir: {
                                                upTown: true,
                                                downTown: false
                                             }
                                        }
                                        ],
                                updateInterval: 300000
                }
                },

These are the steps I just tried…
recreated original circumstances that caused black screen (added Module to config) and yes the black screen still exist.

I assume that means there is issue with module config settings.

I tried to launch the Dev console, but it did not launch in same page as black mirror screen but a white page.

I will wait for your response before making changes to config.js file again.

@JediJah said in MMM-NYC-Transit Module (Black Screen):

          disabled: "true",

no, i said

disabled: true

no quotes

how do you start MM? using pm2 or manually

[JediJah]

@sdetweil Aww OK will adjust

[JediJah]

@sdetweil pm2

After adding disabled: true

Got "Please create a config file " error

[sdetweil]

@JediJah come on , the original instructions said

disabled: true, 

just about any new line requires a comma at the end

[JediJah]

@sdetweil Yeah that was my bad… the mirror loads now without the module…

@JediJah how do you start MM? using pm2 or manually
