@cowboysdude @Mykle1 Calling on the big guns here if you have any ideas :face_with_tongue:
-
Can anyone explain or help me to try and get this module working again? Seems simple enough as ‘athlete’ is throwing the error but idk where to start.
-
@swvalenti as I said, u can use some tools in the coding to get the json data structure printed out so you can examine it
or, use the url in a browser to collect the info.
once u have that you can attempt to find the info the module needed
and maybe change the code to matchI use this site for validating json documents
https://codebeautify.org/jsonvalidator?/jsonvalidatebut it also allows you to format the data in a more readable fashion
the code is trying to extract the player from the data returned
Cannot read property ‘athlete’ of undefined
0|MagicMirror | at Request._callback (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PGA/ESPN.js:49:65)the code is the ESPN.js line 45, column 65
u also may get noting back from the api at all…
-
@sdetweil Ok but which url do I use to check the json?
-
I just commented that line out and now it works! HA
-
@swvalenti the url used by the code to get the data from the api…
I don’t know the module at all, just trying to give some help.
Someone (You) will have to become the programmer.
learn how the module works in enough detail to :-
- find where the error occurs (this is given to you)
-
- develop some mechanism to capture the data that results in the failure
-
- analyze the data to determine the cause
-
- develop a strategy for fixing the ‘problem’
-
- apply the strategy to the existing code
repeat 1-5 til you have resolved the problem(s) successfully, or abandon the task
-
-
@swvalenti you could also open an issue on the module github page and hope the author might look at it… has updates from about 9 months ago…
-
@sdetweil It is a screen scraper. I see he says he commented some line and it is working again for him.
-
@mumblebaj cool. but doesn’t change the work
-
@sdetweil I tried pulling an issue ticket on github to no avail. @mumblebaj what is a screen scraper and can you assist in fixing?
