      @emrhssla what is the error?

      open a terminal window or ssh window

      do

      npm start dev &
      

      node_helper output will show up in the terminal window

      then on the mirror UI, developers window
      select the console tab

      note that the filenames are CASE sensitive
      so you code should be in

      mm/modules/MMM-TestPython

          @emrhssla i cut/pasted your code to create your module, added it to config.js
          and it performs as expected…

          i get in developers console

          hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~    MMM-Testpython.js:62
           Socket recevied : hello                                        MMM-Testpython.js:71
          

          and in terminal window

          notification : TEST
          

          config entry

          {
            module: "MMM-Testpython",
            disabled: false,
            position: "middle",
            config:{
              
            }
          },

            after the npm start &

            press enter… you should get the prompt back, and can do any command

            add this to your node module start function

              start: function() {
                socketTestpython=this;
                console.log(this.name + " node_helper started")    // < ---- add this
            

            should see this in terminal window

            MMM-Testpython node_helper started
            

            i do

                @emrhssla that console output doesn’t make sense… cause u should have seen this line at least

                before the

                Launching application

                    never mind, two of mine don’t have position and work fine
