@bugsounet Thanks for this lib. Integrated it into two of my modules yesterday because I couldn’t get them compiled with electron-rebuild.

@wishmaster270 :

If it can help, it’s perfect ;)
I have do the same too for rebuild modules

but don’t forget to delete "electron-rebuild": "v.xxx", from for package.json file ;)
because this old package is not needed now

@bugsounet thank you very much, for weeks I am looking for a solution to finally be able to add an essential function to the mirror :thumbs_up:

@bugsounet THANK YOU! This saved me a lot of headaches. I went ahead and updated to 2.18 and got the exact error you reference in the exact same module. A quick search and I found your very helpful solution. Thank you for sharing.

I get an error when " ~/node_modules $ ~/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild"
error=(an unhandled error occurred inside electron-rebuild)
unable to find electron’s version number of MagicMirror etc

@lhops
Can or has anyone written code for an new MMM-PIR-Sensor module that will work will the new version of MagicMirror. If not is that something that your can do? I wish I knew more about the code I would do it myself.

@lhops said in electron-rebuild and MagicMirror v2.18 (and more):

I get an error when " ~/node_modules $ ~/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild"

execute ./node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild INSIDE the module directory ;)

not inside other directory ;)
Note :

1. every module in MagicMirror is there:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules

2. After change again the directory to your wanted module,
   for MMM-PIR-Sensor module (for example):

cd MMM-PIR-Sensor

3. after install magicmirror-rebuild

npm i magicmirror-rebuild

4. execute MagicMirror-rebuild program

./node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild

5. you will see MagicMirror Rebuild Complete

6. it’s done ;)

I am sure you can look at this and see my problem.
Thank you for all your help!
