Blank mm after update
-
missing a required node package ‘del’
no package.json to inform the user
-
warning, warning… copy and save
MagicMirror/modules/node_modules/node_helper (folder, which contains index.js)
then
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart npm install delcheck for a missing
MagicMirror/modules/node_modules/node_helper folder
and if so, copy it backi opened an issue with mmm-weatherchart

@sdetweil said in Blank mm after update:
seems odd that there would be two invocations of these modules…
I have only one mmm-weatherchart module present.
When disabled everything is fine.
However, I forgot to remove the single quotes, as I just copy/pasted the config from the thread.
Corrected it, but now I get even stronger things.0|mm | WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: Error: Cannot find module 'del'I do not have any string with ‘del’ in my config :worried_face:

@evroom see my prior most about the missing module

I was typing while you answered.
Will have a look at it and try it out. -
The module is running now, but I get this error:
0|mm | Downloading weather map with signal: FETCH_MAP From URL: www.yr.no/place/Germany/Bavaria/Nuremberg/meteogram.png 0|mm | Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart/cache/map-1567097174409.png'pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart $ ll /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart/cache total 12 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Aug 29 18:49 . 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 pi pi 4096 Aug 29 18:44 .. 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 6 Aug 29 18:44 .gitignoreThen I read somewhere there is a clone of this module that is more recent, so I tried that:
https://github.com/szech/mmm-weatherchartSame result: module runs but no file in the cache dir.
When opening the URL in the browser, it does show the picture that I do not see on my screen.Oh boy/girl, thought it was a simple syntax thingy in config.js …
-
the module doesn’t work, but doesn’t kill MagicMirror anymore…

@sdetweil said in Blank mm after update:

Correct.
I have a few questions.
In the original module there is no
package.jsonfile, where in the cloned one there is.
So, when using the original module, you should NOT usenpm install, right ?
First of all it will no do anything useful, but it WILL delete your/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/node_modules/node_helperdirectory and itsindex.jsfile.
When using the cloned module, you should runnpm installin order to install the dependencies mentioned in it, right ?
No harm is done to thenode_helperdir.Or is it all BS I am telling here (and made the wrong observations) ??
-
@evroom i cloned and got no package.json
i cloned this
https://github.com/paphko/mmm-weatherchart -
@evroom yes, to all your observations…
-
When I use
$ git clone https://github.com/szech/mmm-weatherchart.git
then it works.
The README.md from szech point to papkto.
When corrected and doingnpm installin themmm-weatherchartdirectory, it works -
@evroom yes, that module has it…
-
@sdetweil Thanks! This worked for me as it doesn’t kill it anymore. Hope for a quick fix. Can I follow the process somewhere?

Hi @kvicksson ,
To me it seems there are 3 problems here.
You could have a look what the pm2 log says:$ pm2 logs --lines 100You will either have:
Error: Cannot find module 'del'or:
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart/cache/map-1567097174409.or something completely different.
The 3 problems and potential solutions:
You’re config.js entries:
updateInterval: '3600000', hideBorder: 'true'should be:
updateInterval: 3600000, hideBorder: trueeven if the module could potentially handle it.
If your mmm-weatherchart instal has this file present:
/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart/package.jsonthen you should run:
$ cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart/ $ npm installIf your mmm-weatherchart instal has this file
NOTpresent:/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart/package.jsonthen you should
NOTrun npm instal, has it will cause havoc to you MagicMirror install.
I would do this in this situation:$ cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/ $ mv mmm-weatherchart mmm-weatherchart.saved $ git clone https://github.com/szech/mmm-weatherchart.git $ cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart $ npm install $ pm2 restart pm2 $ pm2 logs --lines 100When it works:
$ cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/ $ rm -rf mmm-weatherchart.savedGood luck !!
PS @sdetweil : please comment if I am wrong or made mistakes somewhere & thanks for your input.

this is all volunteer… you could post an issue to the module owners github repo… maybe he or someone else will respond… I am like you, just another user…

@kvicksson said in Blank mm after update:
@sdetweil Thanks! This worked for me
I should type faster :-)
-
@evroom think u have good instructions…
ps, 2 of my three systems do not have pi as the user, so the path is wrong, and in the module defaults too
-
@sdetweil said in Blank mm after update:

Yes, I assumed user pi and the install under the user pi home directory.
Will try to remember that in the future.
Tilde for the home directory should work on all platforms, is my understanding.~/MagicMirrorMy keyboard is lacking a tilde and I always forget the right keystrokes.
So /home/pi is faster. :-) -
@evroom I sat right now and installed a new calendar module and suddenly the
mmm-weatherchartstarted working… :thinking_face:Did the
$ pm2 logs --lines 100and got a lot of errors, but I guess because everything’s working fine so don’t have to bother right now?! -
And of course it didn’t work now when I tried to switch back to default calendar module and then back to the other calendar module…
