      @sdetweil I’ve seen those but those all are parts that I don’t know how to fix. I get that it is telling me it needs a module but not sure where to get that module then how to subsequently install. I’m capturing the first error at each time stamp as I assume other following errors just downstream effect

      Uncommenting SystemStats I get the below:

      [ERROR] WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: Error: Cannot find module 'request'
      

      Recommenting SystemStats, uncommenting NewsFeedTicker I get:

      [13.07.2021 15:46.38.418] [ERROR] Error: Cannot find module 'request'

        @ankonaskiff17 right, request was remove in 2.16, as documented in the release notes

        Bump node-ical to v0.13.0 (now last runtime dependency using deprecated request package is removed).

        this is because it was dangerous and not going to be updated

        SO, workaround, is to go to each module folder (reporting the error) and do

        npm install request

          @sdetweil That was the ticket, Is it just random modules use that request module or is there a common thread among the modules that require(d) use of that module?

          Also, is that something module developers have to fix? I was using on my original MM an iFrame module and when I was going to use it this time there was a notice on developers readme.md with about an 80 sized font saying this module broken after that 2.16 update. I’ll leave it at that.

          Do you all post issues and work-arounds in like this github repository?

          I already know of a module that was doing same yesterday

            @ankonaskiff17 i don’t post anything… cause no one reads them

            this is a common old module lack of experience sloppiness…

            they didn’t document in their package.json files that they used libraries ‘cause it just worked’

            and now doesn’t.

            for every library they use in their node_helper
            they should do

            npm install library_name --save

            then when YOU get the module and do npm install IT will figure out if that module is ALREADY installed or not and if not install it…

              @sdetweil Thank You. I do appreciate the help.
              I’m going to post another question but it’s kinda-sorta a CSS and code editor question so will post there.
