Unable to update modules
-
@KumarTRD you are in the module folder, right?
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Todoist rm package-lock.json -
this file is rebuilt each time by npm install
but it is also included in the git repo for this module, it should not be -
@sdetweil correct Sam but do I run the rm package-lock.json in the module folder or in cd /MagicMirror folder? I haven’t tried it in the module folder
-
@KumarTRD said in Unable to update modules:
rm package-lock.json in the module folder
in the module folder, thats where you were when u got the error
-
@sdetweil it looks like it’s present in all my modules because I get the same error when attempting to up those as well and my MagicMirror software as well. Any way to complete remove it ?
-
@KumarTRD every module that has a package.json file and uses the step npm install will have a lock file.
but as I said, it should NOT have been included in the git package, because it produces this error, and prevents users from moving forward -
@sdetweil ok I’ll give it a try thanks for your assistance.
-
@sdetweil any way to remove it manually?
-
@KumarTRD to update MagicMirror itself, use my update script
see here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scriptsits a 2 step process… run once to understand what is going on and things u might have to do, run second time to DO the update
