[sdetweil]

if you do a

pm2 stop 0

then from a command prompt, even over ssh

npm start 

you will see messages , here is the default set of stuff,
see that last entry

Nope, I’m missing the last two lines:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ pm2 stop 0
npm start [PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=/home/pi/.pm2

Also looks like the helper module doesn’t get loaded…?

Thank you so much for your time with this btw

no problem… like to help…

but the output doesn’t match the config at all… there should be more info about the other modules and errors if they were not found…

[ForeverBrewing]

@sdetweil

Well I guess installing a fresh copy wont be too much hassle! Its not like I cant work out how to get the google assistant to work anyway, so I’ll probably just keep it completely vanilla. Even I cant balls that up too much…

[sdetweil]

@ForeverBrewing use the updated installer… see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10171/anyone-want-to-try-updated-installer
you should rename the current MM folder out of the way… then u can copy files over if need be

[ForeverBrewing]

@sdetweil

Will do, thanks for your help :)

For those googling this problem, consider whether you added the module to your config file but didn’t stop and restart the software. Many config changes can take effect just by saving the config file and reloading the browser window, but adding and removing modules…not so much :-)

[sdetweil]

@spblat if the module has a node_helper.js, you need to restart MM for any changes to take place
