covid bell curve line graph tracker

Used them… worked well.

Did a clean install, use my old config and same thing happened.
Change my config.js with original+MyCovid19 and ALL OK!

So, I changed the original config.js with my modules, one by one and ALL went OK.

So, I got curious, and then went to change the original config.js to my old one, module by module so I could find which one was interfering, and ALL went OK.

UNTIL, and this is really strange, when I change the address of localhost at the beginning, it went to the same problem again.

If I have address: “localhost”, ALL is OK
If I have address: “0.0.0.0”, then the problem appears again.

Any ideas?

Here’s my mirror working OK

and

@sdetweil I don’t understand how this parameters relate with the size of a graph.

I think it’s weird, at least it kept me entertained for a couple of hours in quarantine. :)

I hope you and your family and friends are OK.

sdetweil

@rafaelcota all ok here…

i have no idea really on the parms affecting… all my pi systems use address:“0.0.0.0” and ipWhitelist:[]
so I can open their pages on my pc at my desk. (easier to debug modules this way, run there , debug here)

i can only think that something in the chart.js library is trying to get a file or something and there is a cross site scripting restriction to stop it…

@sdetweil Thank you…

Yeah, 0.0.0.0 is not the IP address of your Pi. If you don’t want to use localhost, try the IP address of your Pi on your local network instead. (you can find the local IP address by entering ip address from your Pi) The Magic Mirror framework is a web server at heart, so it needs to understand what IP address it is using. You can try 127.0.0.1 as well, as that is the “local loopback” IP address. It always points to itself.

sdetweil

@bhepler no… 0.0.0.0 means listen on any/all physical network interfaces (wireless AND ethernet

127.0.0.1 means listen ONLY on the loopback interface … means ONLY apps INSIDE this same machine can access the url … (another browser for example)…
remote-control from your PC cannot connect

ip_address, means listen ONLY on the interface with that address (ie, listen on wireless or ethernet, not both)

bhepler

@sdetweil - Yeah… except 0.0.0.0 doesn’t work. So… what can you do?

I put the network IP of my pi in that field and then connect to that IP address if I’m ever on the pi itself.

sdetweil

@bhepler 0.0.0.0 works for me on multiple systems without problem

And ipWhitelist:[],

@rafaelcota Strange i am also having the same exact problem. My PI was also set to 0.0.0.0, however i changed it to localhost, and even tried its actual IP address as well and it did not fix it. I can change the height but not the width at all. I also tried placing it in other places on my mirror, as well as deleting the white space too

sdetweil

@almostgithub weird… I have 6 different systems running the module, ALL have address:“0.0.0.0”, ipWhiteList:[],

and I cannot reproduce the problem.

do another git pull… I just force commented out the inline-block statement that should never have been executed… see if it makes a difference

rafaelcota

@sdetweil Nope… didn’t work, it just don’t work with address 0.0.0.0, only with localhost as address…it’s really weird…
I’m using VNC to see my mirror remotely since it can’t be access from any other device… no problem for me, but my curious mind wonder how this can be.

Thank you for your time and concern,

sdetweil

@rafaelcota can u try something… address:“0.0.0.0”,

and then open a separate browser to the pi address:port

so you will have the vnc window and the browser window open at the same time to the same server
f11 to toggle the browser to full screen and back

Did another Git pull and my graph is still off the screen. Looks like there is a lot of space in between each date on the graph.

sdetweil

@almostgithub make sure these two lines are commented out in MyCovid19.js, approx line 180

        if ((canvas = document.getElementById("myChart"+self.ourID )) == null) {
          var c = document.createElement("div");
          c.style.width = self.config.width + "px";
          c.style.height = self.config.height + "px";
         // if (!self.config.stacked)                                           // < ---- 
         //   c.style.display = 'inline-block';                            // < ----
          self.wrapper.appendChild(c);

almostgithub

@sdetweil Those are both commented out. Is there anything else that may perhaps cause each date to be almost an inch apart? I may just do a fresh install to negate any other settings I may have tweaked with, but strange that @rafaelcota had a similar problem as well

sdetweil

@almostgithub could u confirm that the div still has display=inline-block, when u look thru the elements…

sdetweil

@almostgithub lets try some new debugging

git clone again, make sure debug:true, in each MyCovid19 module def in config.js
the update now only downloads the data file ONCE across all the modules (1 for countries, 1 for states if both used)

add this module

git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Logging

add it to the TOP of the module list like this

	modules: [    // < top of module list
	{ 
            module: 'MMM-Logging',
            disabled: false,
            config: {
                // Module functions out of the box with nothing set here.
                // See below for configurable options.
                echoLocal: true, 
                echoRemote: true,
                format: "{{message}} ({{folder}}/{{file}}:{{line}} {{method}})",
            }
        },

start MM like this from a terminal window (make sure to stop the pm2 one if u use pm2)

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >>somefile.txt 2>&1

run your test with 0.0.0.0
please test both on system and remote browser access
ctrl-c to stop
change to localhost
restart same command

ctrl-c when done

send me somefile.txt at my email sdetweil at gmail

@sdetweil You’re great, man. You’ve been working with MyCovid19 to fix the bug, a weird and difficult one to identify; you’ve done tests, modifications, sent me instructions how to debug, and more modifications, and tests, and debugging; and files and emails went between us and finally, I can say IT WORKS just fine!

Address is 0.0.0.0, so I can access it from any device at port 8080 and graphs are just the size I put in config.

Thank you again for all your time, effort and concern.

Stay safe

sdetweil

@rafaelcota glad we found it… now I gotta fix another toughie…

I’ve been keeping an eye on the NY data so i can compare it to my home state. Any idea whats happened there? It might be nice to have a 7 day rolling average option to smooth the data out. If that’s within the realm of “Not very difficult.”
