@pugsly ok, open the developers window again

this usually means that the api key is wrong … the api isn’t returning data

pugsly

@sdetweil
Its not passing the API key in the HTML request.

https://api.ipgeolocation.io/astronomy?apiKey=&lang=en&lat=39.2907&long=-75.6344 401

sdetweil

apikey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

yep, case sensitive, it apiKey

pugsly

@pugsly NVM… the K in apiKey is a capital. Its working now.

@sdetweil: Thank you so much for your help here. I’m having the exact same problem as @pugsly did, but unfortunately your suggestions seem to not do the trick. I was wondering if you could help me out, too. So far I got:

                        {
			module: "MMM-Sunrise-Sunset",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			config: {
				apiKey: "xxx", 				
				latitude: "xx.03586",
				longitude: "xx.06379",
				timezone: "Europe/Berlin",
				layout: "inline"
				}
		},

My screen stays black, though, and the developer console is giving me this:

Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined
at Class.updateSun (MMM-Sunrise-Sunset.js:33)
at Class.start (MMM-Sunrise-Sunset.js:12)
at startModules (loader.js:55)
at loader.js:40
at HTMLLinkElement.stylesheet.onload (loader.js:200)

I even tried executing your suggestions as root, thinking that I must’ve done something wrong, but I got the same error messages as before:

What am I missing here?

@dankerthrone said in MMM-Sunrise-Sunset:

Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined

cp node/modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js .

should be (notice the underscore, _ instead of the slash /)

cp node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js .

dankerthrone

That seems to have been a copy/paste-error. My terminal history shows it with the underscore. To make sure, I tried it once again, but still get

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Sunrise-Sunset $ cp node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js .
cp: cannot stat 'node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js': No such file or directory

sdetweil

@dankerthrone weird
show the output of

cd  ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Sunrise-Sunset
ls node_modules -laF

dankerthrone

@sdetweil

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Sunrise-Sunset $ ls node_modules -laF
ls: cannot access 'node_modules': No such file or directory

… I’m starting to wonder if I messed up something bigger in the beginning since almost any change I apply to config.js results in weird errors.

after rebooting, the black screen of MagicMirror now shows this in the developer console:

I’m really starting to think I do something stupid everytime I install/clone a module from github. I do follow each readme.md for installation, but somehow keep messing up :-/

sdetweil

@dankerthrone installing a new module is pretty easy

cd MagicMirror/modules
git clone http:// the url of the git repo
cd the name of the module

if there is a package.,json file, then to load its dependencies do

npm install

then

cd ~/MagicMirror/config
nano config.js

insert the module definition  info, (see the module readme.md)
save

then restart mirror app

this module does NOT list its dependency on jquery as it should
so, you have to fix it manually.

SO, i don’t know where you were when u did the npm install jquery
lets find it

cd ~/MagicMirror
find . | grep jquery\.js

DailyXKCD

the XKCD errors look like poor programming by the author

he tries to find the web content before its there, but doesn’t check if he got the location

dankerthrone

@sdetweil
finding jquery as you suggested returns

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ find . | grep jquery\.js
./node_modules/nwmatcher/src/modules/nwmatcher-jquery.js

sdetweil

@dankerthrone hm… not where I would have expected it…

so. lets try this again

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Sunrise-Sunset
npm install jquery
ls node_modules/jquery

you should see this

AUTHORS.txt  LICENSE.txt  README.md  bower.json  dist  external  package.json  src

then do

 cp node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js .

then

ls jquery.js

to prove the file is in the module folder

i just did it all here step by step

siggmur

Late to the game, but I also am getting black screen after installing the module and adding it to my config. Ill try to give you the steps:

Did the git pull. Went into the folder, npm install.

Added this to my config:

{          
module: 'MMM-Sunrise-Sunset', 
position: "bottom_center",
config: {
latitude: "69.13",
longitude: "18.59",
apiKey: "myAPI",
layout: "inline",
  }
},

I also tried @sdetweil post, without any difference. I find the files as listed, did pm2 restart mm without any help.

Ideas?

sdetweil

@siggmur latitude and longitude are numbers, remove the quotes.

general rule, for values to the right of :

number or true/false - not quoted
all else, quoted, doesn’t matter which one, just matching.
also, lat/long usually are 6 digits
xx.yyyy

siggmur

Thanks for the quick reply, I forgot the quotation marks, but it should throw a config error, not a black screen like I am getting?

sdetweil

@siggmur black screen usually means missing library file.
look at the startup.messages

either
pm2 logs --lines=100
or the terminal window where do
npm start

siggmur

@sdetweil ah, now we might be cooking. I find to suspected issues, but I am a bit to noobish to understand:

[2020-08-01 01:35:48.402] [LOG] No helper found for module: MMM-Sunrise-Sunset.

and:

Fontconfig warning: “/etc/fonts/fonts.conf”, line 100: unknown element “blank”
[2020-08-01 01:35:50.724] [ERROR] Whoops! There was an uncaught exception…

}

Any idea what it could be?

sdetweil

@siggmur eaddr in use means something is still using that port 8080,

pm2’s job is to start at boot, so you can have more than one running

keep stopping

check w
ps -ef | grep node |grep -v grep

kill things til u get none.

then

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start
