Update to MagicMirror² v2.7.0 fails

  • D

    Hi MagicMirror fans,
    I try to update my v2.6.0 installation to v2.7.0 with executing the following steps:

    1. sudo apt-get update
    2. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    3. reboot

    all steps above without errors, and now from inside the MagicMirror directory:

    1. git pull && npm install

    This throws me the following errors lines:

    Aktualisiere de57daa..b508a62
error: Ihre lokalen Änderungen in den folgenden Dateien würden durch den Merge
überschrieben werden:
	package-lock.json
	vendor/package-lock.json
Bitte committen oder stashen Sie Ihre Änderungen, bevor sie mergen.

Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.

Abbruch

    Looks like a simple git issue, but what are the recommended steps to solve this issue?
    How do I commit my changes?

    running this command?

    git commit -m

    Hope you can help 🙂

    Cheers

    @drfukc erase those two files

    git pull, then npm install in MM, and then each module that has a package.json file

    @sdetweil
    partially it worked though the upgrade still terminates with this error message after running “sudo npm install” in the MM directory and all external modules that have a package.json file.
    However, all of these have prompted me that they are already up-to-date.

    These are my steps:

    pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm install

    now I check “2019-04-05T07_27_16_446Z-debug.log” but unfortunately this does not help me either:

    When opening MagicMirror it looks like I have v2.7.0 installed, since the upgrading message has disappeared and things seem functional.

    However my feeling is that the upgrade is just in the middle of somewhere, though the mirror is working.

    Cheers

    you should not have done sudo npm install… this does the setup as root… which will cause problems later

    also, looks like npm is downlevel , so do
    all these from the MagicMirror folder

    npm -v
npm install -g npm 
npm -v

    this will show old and new versions

    then

     sudo rm -rf node_modules

    and then

    npm install

    again

    Hi Sam,
    thanks for your support, but unfortunately this takes me to the next issue when executing:

    pi@magicmirror:~ $ npm -v
6.9.0

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm install -g npm
npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to /usr/lib/node_modules
npm ERR! path /usr/lib/node_modules
npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! errno -13
npm ERR! syscall access

    After, I changed permissions for /usr/lib/node_modules, but it simply took me to the next error.
    I think I will re-start from scratch.
    Cheers
    ukc
