Mirror goes to black after adding MMM-CalendarWeek

maddmurph

I was having a ton of issues with my Mirror, so I deleted everything and started over. In the default mode it works fine. I have the clock and the weather.

Now I have installed MMM-CalendarWeek (git cloned, npm install, etc) and the screen goes to black. npm run config:check doesn’t show any errors but it’s still not working.

{
                        module: "MMM-CalendarWeek",
                        position: "lower_third",
                        config: {
                                calendars:[
                                        {
                                        url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/secretGooglecode"
                                        }
                                        ]
                                }
                },

Any help would be appreciated.

@maddmurph look at theessages where u start mm.

So I’m guessing this means the url isn’t valid, but I copied the secret .ical address right from google. What am I missing?

@maddmurph the valid-url and request modules were removed from mm in 2.16 as request has a security issue and will not be fixed.

we’ve found quite a few modules that did not document the libraries they used, oops

so to fix near term

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install valid-url

the module is still broken and next mm install this will fail again

I did that and now nothing works. I get this error

Tried running npm install ENOENT but that’s apparently not a thing.

@djboob66 Weird, it’s right in the config.js on the mirror. Good catch though.

sdetweil

@maddmurph weird a dozen people have done this successfully…

also npm install request

Zwirbel

In my case, in the error massage it said that also rrule-alt was missing, so I did a “npm install rrule-alt” to get it working again.

sdetweil

@zwirbel bingo. nice work.
