Add JS Code to the Mirror

[sdetweil]

@dnj0104 what MM version are you running on? this problem was fixed in 2.10
do this
from the MM folder

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js

[dnj0104]

I got version 20.13.0

from your git command i get output

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ git checkout modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js
error: pathspec 'modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js' did not match any file(s) known to git

[sdetweil]

@dnj0104 can you do

cd ~/MagicMirror
grep version package.json

[dnj0104]

yes and and result is

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ grep version package.json
	"version": "2.13.0",

[sdetweil]

@dnj0104 yeh, mess

this module should be installed like this to make up for the name problem

cd ~/ MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/timjong93/MMM-MPD.git mpd_client
cd mpd_client
npm install

then everything matches

[sdetweil]

@dnj0104 thanks… so the git checkout would not have worked, sorry…

try the install as I suggest above

[dnj0104]

@sdetweil

so then i throw mpd client folder in trash and follow your
install instructions?

because I believe there have been a problem when I first installed mpd_client, I did not been clear where the npm install should been placed, if you read in mpd-client readme.md maybe you understand, english is not my first language, and my linux-fu is below first grade :)

[sdetweil]

@dnj0104 is ok, he didn’t do the instructions correctly…

yes, start over

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
rm -rf mod_client

then do the install as I suggested

[dnj0104]

and then change folder name to mod-client ?

is it mod-client (folder) and mod_client in config.js in config array. do I also change name in mpd-client.js file?

[sdetweil]

@dnj0104 everythign should be named mpd_client

look at the files list in the module
https://github.com/timjong93/MMM-MPD

all mpd_client

no, do NOT change the folder name, change the config.js to match

module: 'mpd_client',
