Looking for Beta-testers!

[Jopyth]

I am a little bit in the dark on the restart issue. It happens every time I change any file in my source code directory, i.e. config/config.js or even package.json.

All I have so far, is this appeared after I updated to development branch (hence updated all npm dependencies), plus I had to update my PIR-Sensor module (got a version XX expected, got XX error), and rebuild dependencies there also.

Does anyone have any idea on this? And is anyone else even seeing this behavior also? If I have time, I will try a complete reinstall and see if that fixes it.

Arent you running any tool that watches your directory and restarts? Like nodemon or pm2?

[Jopyth]

I am using pm2 but watch & reload was disabled.

I did a complete update, which apparently helped people before with #150, that seems to have fixed it:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo rpi-update

@Jopyth some time ago my mirror suddenly didn’t work whit pm2. From one day to the other. I changed nothing and it works fine before. I didn’t know what happens. But then I found a little order in the display when I prompt pm2 start mm… I didn’ t rember the order but I know pm2 worked some second displayed something and then everything works fine again. …

Maybe you found something , too

Guys, I’ve just made a modification that hides a region if all modules in a region are hidden. This should prevent unwanted margins when a region (like the top_bar) only contains hidden modules. This allows my to move the updatenotification module to the topbar.

Due to the nature of the change, this could cause some serious issues if it contains any missed bugs. It would be great if you guys gan pull the latest version and let me know if everything keeps working. If you’re having issues with some modules not showing up, please let me know.

More info about this change can be found here: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/commit/e4197012f65778f815cd73a6c7fab1a30ef3b92f

Thanks!

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
