Updated to 2.17 but MM not launching

[Wenike]

Instead, I have a window labeled Electron running with nothing displayed. I did a git pull && npm install to do the update and had to remove both instances of package-lock.json (in the root MM folder and in the vendor subfolder) to do the update and I don’t remember modifying those. Is there some additional steps I need to do to make Electron behave?

Try using Sam scripts

@swvalenti thx…

@Wenike also not listed (ever) on the MM site

for every module that has a package.json file do npm install

note that its possible that IF you had to add request back in on 2.16, it will be gone on 2.17 again

NOTE : because u already did the ‘ugrade’, you will need to use force instead of apply on the upgrade script

@stoffbeuteluwe said in Updated to 2.17 but MM not launching:

Cannot find module ‘request’

same problem for the last few months. and last release

see

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15666/add-request-to-modules

[OberfragGER]

Happens to me to.

MMM-SystemStats stops MM from working. reinstall and everything are not working so i had to quit using both MMM-SystemStats Modules.

[sdetweil]

@oberfragger did u look for the errors to decide what to do?

[OberfragGER]

@sdetweil Uuups.
Sorry for the “short” information. I did´nt realised that i sent the topic.

Both “MMM-SystemStats” seems to unmantained and both are stopping MM from starting. I just uncommented them in the config.js and openend an issue.

I dont have any clus what i cloud do more.

[sdetweil]

@oberfragger it says module not found

we deleted a bunch of older libraries because one was discontinued (deprecated) due to a security problem not going to be fixed

many mm modules used them but didn’t document the usage. oops

I don’t see the name of the library

but looking at the node_helper.js shows

require('request')

which is the trouble lib

u can add it back for this module , do

npm init -y
npm install request -- save
