add request to modules

[BKeyport]

Appears that two modules I’m using are dead because of “request”

How do we add it back into the affected modules?

(MMM-CalendarExt2 and MMM-SystemStats, FWIW)

[BKeyport]

Nevermind, I got it figured out.

npm install request in the directory after the regular npm install.

Likely gonna have to keep doing it, though. :|

@bkeyport said in add request to modules:

How do we add it back into the affected modules?

in the module folder

if the module does NOT have a package.json file do

npm init -y

and then for all cases do

npm install request -- save 

[sdetweil]

the module author should add an updated package.json to the module

And migrate to something else

also

rrule-alt
valid-url

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil I have a feeling the update isn’t gonna happen in either of those modules… :)

I’d love someone to come up with a better CX2, tho… 😉😉😉

My is totally messed up now too, after the upgrade from 2.16.
Blank screen.
I tried the upgrade script with “force” but it’s still the same.
THANKS!

@bert269 show the errors where you do npm start

if you use pm2, then do

pm2 logs --lines=100

@bert269 It’s likely a missing required piece, like it was for me.

take a look at logs.

if using PM2, I suggest multiple terminal windows to your system, then on one:
pm2 logs and the other pm2 restart MagicMirror (or other name that you use for MagicMirror)
