./Init.sh ISSUE
I’m new to modules etc, so sorry if this is a dumb issue. When I run ./init.sh in the terminal I get the error message
"
npm ERR! must provide string spec

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

Any help with the issue would be greatly appreciated thank you.

@jjw A quick Google search for this error suggests to me that it is related to your node/npm versions, but I can’t offer any more input than that I’m afraid!

[JJW]

@vizulize No worries, thank you. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

[sdetweil]

@jjw looks like npm v7…

[JJW]

@sdetweil sorry for the lack of knowledge, but what does that mean/what do I have to change.

[sdetweil]

@jjw from the commandline do

npm install -g npm@6.14.10

MAY need sudo in front if it fails for permissions error

after then check
npm -v

then redo the steps u were trying to do before

[JJW]

@sdetweil said in MMM-Fitbit2:

npm install -g npm@6.14.10

Will try now, thank you very much.

[JJW]

@sdetweil Thank you for your help, have the Fitbit module displaying on the monitor now, however, just says loading.:grinning_squinting_face:

[sdetweil]

@jjw now we need to look for messages in the place u start MM

npm start or pm2, if pm2, then the pm2 logs --lines=100 command will show

and the developers window on the MM screen

ctrl-shift-i, select the console tab, and add part of the module name to the filter field , fit

[JJW]

@sdetweil I ran “pm2 logs --lines=100” in the command line and the only returns I got were for the calendar.

0|MagicMir | [05.06.2021 18:31.09.798] [INFO] Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 10 events.

I’m sorry I don’t know what you mean by developer window, but when I use ctrl+shift+i out of the cmd I take a screenshot and then when I’m in the cmd I just rename the box.

[JJW]

@sdetweil I ran another test for 1000 line and the only mention of Fit is:

0|MagicMir | [05.06.2021 18:22.00.914] [INFO] Checking git for module: MMM-Fitbit2

After that, it moves onto multicast.

[sdetweil]

@jjw on the magicmirror screen, not commandline

press ctrl-shift-i together
a new window will open 1/2 the Mm screen
in that window there is a tabbed interface,

here showing error from one of my modules, part of name in filter field

[JJW]

@sdetweil Ah, I think because I’m accessing my Pi via VNC viewer, that’s what makes it take a screenshot instead of opening that menu, even when on the MM screen, is there another way to access this? If not work directly through the Pi.

[sdetweil]

@jjw well, you could access from your pc, if the address/ipWhitelist settings in config.js allow it
then use chrome to view and open the dev window

[JJW]

@sdetweil This is what comes up when I filter by fit

[sdetweil]

@jjw ok, now you know everything I know.

no errors were reported.

[JJW]

@sdetweil Thank you for the continued help, really appreciate you taking the time. One last thought, I’ve gone through the processes again, and one of the dependencies, “python-fitbit” requires you to run

sudo pip install -r requirements/base.txt

When I run this code, I get the error message

Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘requirements/base.txt’

[sdetweil]

@jjw what folder are u supposed to be in when u run that command?

[JJW]

@sdetweil Unfortunately it doesn’t say so I’ve just tried running in and out of the Fitbit directory.

https://github.com/m-roberts/MMM-Fitbit2

redirects you to this webpage

https://pypi.org/project/fitbit/0.3.1/

and I can’t see anywhere it says what folder to install it into.

[Vizulize]

@jjw Running init.sh inside the MMM-Fitbit2 folder should take care of installing the dependencies for you.
