@stalker401 ok. Someone reported a similar problem after updating to latest mm version.

They did not run

npm install

From the MagicMirror folder
And any modules that have a package.json file

@sdetweil I am just wondering, are the guys running Raspbian updating to the latest version before updating to 2.8? I did the Raspbian update and and then updated the MM to 2.8, did the npm install in all the modules with a package.json and no issues.

sdetweil

@mumblebaj no idea. So just experience trouble. Mostly cause they haven’t learned the ins and outs of all this.

I’m hoping my new update script will help

sdetweil

I have created a pm2 only script to handle fixing the setup, see

@stalker401 actually, i’ve seen this before…

maybe you DID run npm install in a module folder that does NOT have a package.json file.

erase the node_modules folder in that module

cd modules/????   ??? is the module name
rm -rf node_modules
