MMM-Awesome-Alexa Trouble

xfqbe

Hey! I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to fix this. When I startup the mirror I get this error and the screen is just pitch black with no modules. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

@xfqbe maybe

do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install electron-rebuild
cd modules/MMM-Awesome-Alexa
~/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

let us know

@sdetweil Thanks for replying, I did exactly what you said correctly and it’s still showing the same errors :/ Is there anything else I should try? or maybe a different Alexa module?

@xfqbe not really.

sdetweil

@sdetweil The electron-rebuild was normal without any error codes and yes I followed these steps. https://www.howtogeek.com/423233/how-to-add-alexa-to-your-smart-mirror/

Hi!! I don’t know if you are still interested or if you already figured it out, but it happened to me too and have just found a fix. So here it is, for you, or whomever may need it.

Go to the MagicMirror folder, get inside modules, and rename the folder “MMM-awesome-alexa” to “MMM-Awesome-Alexa”.

It seems like the program is Capitals sensitive and couldn’t find the pathway. After renaming, it stopped giving back those errors.

Let me know if this helped you!

Have fun!!

@hectoreg21 but when u git clone it uses the project name so this shouldn’t happen

@sdetweil You are so true! The program does not give back any errors at all, but Alexa does not work either (because of the pathway name change). Sorry I didn’t notice this before posting. I’ll keep looking into it.

And thanks for the reply!
