      Hi, because (sometime) i’m kind

      I will offer you a tips for next release of MagicMirror (it’s comes 01/01/2022)

      Some modules need library linked to MagicMirror and do electron-rebuild step.

      • Last electron-rebuild package is actually not really ready for MagicMirror using (install many package not used)
      • Last package is not really ready for raspberry pi, and rebuild build will failed
        • problems with SSL
        • Problems with sub-dependencies (lzma-native can failed on build)

      So ?

      • I just write the new rebuild library dedicated to MagicMirror
      • I will maintened it (For my modules and yours if you want)
      • It will use exactly what MagicMirror needs (and ONLY that)
      • it will replace the electron-rebuild package

      What’s this new library ?

      • This library is magicmirror-rebuild
      • You can use it directly in your package.json file
        "dependencies": {
    "magicmirror-rebuild": "^1.0.0",
    ....
  }
      • You can install it directly with this command in a module directory:
      npm i magicmirror-rebuild
      • you can ask the rebuild step of MagicMirror (electron) with this command (in a module root directory)
      ./node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild

      Sample with MagicMirror v2.18 and MMM-PIR-Sensor module

      bugsounet@debian:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor$ npm install
npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142
npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported
npm WARN deprecated uuid@3.4.0: Please upgrade  to version 7 or higher.  Older versions may use Math.random() in certain circumstances, which is known to be problematic.  See https://v8.dev/blog/math-random for details.

          @bugsounet Thanks for this lib. Integrated it into two of my modules yesterday because I couldn’t get them compiled with electron-rebuild.

            @wishmaster270 :

            If it can help, it’s perfect ;)
            I have do the same too for rebuild modules

            but don’t forget to delete "electron-rebuild": "v.xxx", from for package.json file ;)
            because this old package is not needed now

                @bugsounet thank you very much, for weeks I am looking for a solution to finally be able to add an essential function to the mirror :thumbs_up:

                  @bugsounet THANK YOU! This saved me a lot of headaches. I went ahead and updated to 2.18 and got the exact error you reference in the exact same module. A quick search and I found your very helpful solution. Thank you for sharing.

                      Can or has anyone written code for an new MMM-PIR-Sensor module that will work will the new version of MagicMirror. If not is that something that your can do? I wish I knew more about the code I would do it myself.

                        @lhops said in electron-rebuild and MagicMirror v2.18 (and more):

                        I get an error when " ~/node_modules $ ~/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild"

                        execute ./node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild INSIDE the module directory ;)

                        not inside other directory ;)
                        Note :

                        1. every module in MagicMirror is there:
                        cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
                        1. After change again the directory to your wanted module,
                          for MMM-PIR-Sensor module (for example):
                        cd MMM-PIR-Sensor
                        1. after install magicmirror-rebuild
                        npm i magicmirror-rebuild
                        1. execute MagicMirror-rebuild program
                        ./node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild

                        1. you will see MagicMirror Rebuild Complete

                        2. it’s done ;)

                          This is the results of the instructions:

                          I am sure you can look at this and see my problem.

                            If you have modified the “package.json” file … and you do not respect the syntax.
                            here is the result ;)
                            (Info: it is not like this that we rename a module)

                            to correct your issue try this:

                            cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
git reset --hard HEAD
npm install magicmirror-rebuild --save
npm remove electron-rebuild
npm install

                            (Sometime, i’m very kind… So kind for me)

                                      node version: v17.3.0
                                      npm version: 8.3.0

                                      So obviously not the correct version :-( Do you know how I can change the versions?

                                        @susl you can use n to install or select different versions of node (and npm)
                                        to install n
                                        sudo npm install n -g
                                        then to install or use a version of node
                                        n 16

                                        to switch

                                        n

                                        the select from the list
