Update Help

Hello,

I’m having some trouble with the update when I tried to install I get this error

Updating de57daa..b508a62
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
	package-lock.json
Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.
Aborting

when I try to remove the offending file I get this

rm: cannot remove 'pacage-lock.json': No such file or directory
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ rm package-lock.json
rm: cannot remove 'package-lock.json': No such file or directory

Does anyone have any clue how I proceed?

I had a similar problem.
Have you tried this?
Inside the MagicMirror directory:
git stash
Then
git pull
Then
npm install
Afte that search in which module the package file is located and
npm install

[jhwwhite]

That did it! Thanks so much!

@thedoorsfanatic I tried this but this happened when I tried git stash

@jhwwhite I’m a similar situation, but with a few more lines to my error message

Try it like this:

Run the following command in the MagicMirror folder

rm package-lock.json
rm vendor/package-lock.json 

Then execute in the folder the usual command for the upload

git pull && npm install

Now it should work

@DæmonEyes
Just fill in your github user email and username

@DæmonEyes
This is what worked for me but I am a beginner, too
Inside the MagicMirror directory:
git stash
Then
git pull
Then
npm install
After that search for modules that use package.json files, go to their directories and
npm install

@jhwwhite
Great, I am glad that worked for you, too!

[DæmonEyes]

@thedoorsfanatic Thanks, I wasn’t sure what email/username they wanted and I didn’t even have a github profile, so I created one. And then everything worked after that!

I had the same issue!
Thank You very much, You rescued me!!!

Now, all works fine and the upgrade from 2.5 to 2.7 worked very nice!
