Error : cannot find module "rrule"

  • J

    Hello,

    I have a big problem with the calendar default module.
    Since the last magic mirror update, the module blocks the launch of the mirror.

    > magicmirror@2.9.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> sh run-start.sh

    I don’t understand what is wrong.
    I removed the module and I reinstall it but the problem still there.

    Thanks for your help ! 🙂

    I removed the module

    removed what module?

    do this

    cd ~MagicMirror
npm install rrule@2.6.2

    @sdetweil I removed the calendar module, the one you help me to reinstall 🙂

    And this command didn’t work, but I have the same errors when I do “npm install” on the MagicMirror folder :

    @JohnB7777 yeh, you used sudo somehwere… NEVER use sudo (except when told, for specific things)

    do this

    cd ~
sudo chown -R pi MagicMirror

    then redo the command above.

    why would you delete a module?

    @sdetweil I deleted this module because I though it was the cause of the error.

    I tried what you said and it worked but when I start the mirror, there is another error :

    @sdetweil Ok, it works but I have another error that doesn’t prevent the start of the mirror.

    Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...

    @sdetweil Yes, I use pm2 to start and stop the mirror but I use npm start to see the errors.

    @JohnB7777

    you have two instances running…

    npm start is what pm2 does for you under the covers
