      @jthirasilpa said in MMM-NetworkScanner-loading...indefinitely:

      [22:23:34.736] [ERROR] ReferenceError: options is not defined

      but you added the 4 lines, right?

      var options = {              
          cachePassword: true,
          prompt: 'Password, ???? '     // put your password where ???? are (notice the quotes around)
      }
      

      and then the updated line

       var arp = sudo(['arp-scan', '-q', arpHosts], options);

          @jthirasilpa just do this… get my version of the module

          cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
          mv MMM-NetworkScanner MMM-NetworkScanner.original
          git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-NetworkScanner
          cd MMM-NetworkScanner
          npm install
          cd ~/MagicMirror/config
          nano config.js
          

          add the following line to the config section of the network scanner module

          Password: '??????',    // where '?????' is you password in quotes, for example 'raspberry', note the trailing comma
          

          ctrl-o at save the config.js
          ctrl-x to exit nano

          Restart your MM

            Thanks Sam - tried your version of the module and modified the config.js accordingly. Still not quite working. Error logs as follows:

              @jthirasilpa hm… can u show me show me these lines from node_helper.js

              scanNetworkMAC: function() {
                      this.log(this.name + " is performing arp-scan");
              
                      var self = this;
                      // Target hosts/network supplied in config or entire localnet
                      var arpHosts = this.config.network || '-l';
              				var options = {              
              						cachePassword: true,
              						prompt: 'Password,' + this.config.Password     // put your password where ???? are (notice the quotes around)
              				}
                      var arp = sudo(['arp-scan', '-q', arpHosts], options);

                Hi - it seems to function correctly - it returns the IP and MAC addresses of the various clients on the network.

                  I tried it both ways - but should the ‘password’ field in the helper file be filled in?

                    @jthirasilpa no… use the config.js

                    the reference to the options variable should be from line 47, not 42…

                    so, something is wrong with the code u have in node_helper.js

                    did u follow my steps above exactly?

                      Sorry I’m not being clear. I know that I need to modify the config.js (and have done so), but in line 45 of node_helper.js (as shown below) there is:

                       prompt: 'Password,' + this.config.Password     // put your password where ???? are (notice the quotes around)
                      

                      Should I leave this as is or fill in the password? That is where I have tried it both ways.

                      Code you asked for from node_helper.js:

                          scanNetworkMAC: function() {
                       38         this.log(this.name + " is performing arp-scan");
                       39
                       40         var self = this;
                       41         // Target hosts/network supplied in config or entire localnet
                       42         var arpHosts = this.config.network || '-l';
                       43                                 var options = {
                       44                                                 cachePassword: true,
                       45                                                 prompt: 'Password,' + this.config.Password     // put your password where ???? are (notice the quotes around)
                       46                                 }
                       47         var arp = sudo(['arp-scan', '-q', arpHosts], options);

                        @jthirasilpa oh, i see I should have removed the comment… you do not need to change any code…

                        but the error does not match the code u are running now…

                        please do

                        pm2 stop 0
                        pm2 flush
                        pm2 start 0
                        pm2 logs
                        

                        that error must have been from yesterday
