node_helper.js does not work.

@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

Module helper loaded: MMM-Testpython

before the

Launching application

show me your config.js

@emrhssla that doesn’t match with the terminal window output…

in terminal window only

Starting MagicMirror: v2.7.1
Loading config …
Loading module helpers …
Initializing new module helper …
Module helper loaded: updatenotification   < ----
No helper found for module: helloworld. < -----
All module helpers loaded.

there are only two modules referenced…

never mind, two of mine don’t have position and work fine
delete ---------also, all modules require a position
