electron-rebuild and MagicMirror v2.18 (and more)

[susl]

@bugsounet I followed your instructions but the rebuilding step failed with the following message:

MagicMirror Building module: epoll, Completed: 0gyp: name ‘openssl_fips’ is not defined while evaluating condition ‘openssl_fips != “”’ in binding.gyp while trying to load binding.gyp
✖ MagicMirror Rebuild Failed

Do you know what the problem is? Thanks!

@susl :

• Recommended version of npm: v6.14.15
• Recommended version of node: v14.x.x or v16.x.x

to verify, try this in a terminal (or ssh):

node -v
npm -v

[susl]

@bugsounet
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?

[sdetweil]

@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

@sdetweil
Thanks a lot. I works now!

[cowboysdude]

@bugsounet Thank you for this!! It works like a charm ;)

[selyjohns]

Wow, perfect ! Thank you so much !

[michael5r]

Thanks for doing this - much appreciated!

[bugsounet]

@michael5r with pleasure ;l

Hi @bugsounet
Same problem after update to 2.19 :(

During the update, i needed to force because a log say the package-lock.json has been modified. Maybe my error.

Trying to reproduce the procedure, but

pi@MagicMirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor $ ./node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild
⠋ Searching dependency tree
An unhandled error occurred inside electron-rebuild
Could not detect abi for version 17.2.0 and runtime electron.  Updating "node-abi" might help solve this issue if it is a new release of electron

Did you know how to solve this ?

[bugsounet]

@selyjohns

MMM-PIR-Sensor state is :
This repository has been archived by the owner. It is now read-only.

I will not doing a patch on every update for this @paviro module

Just use another maintened pir module

Thank you for this quick reply.
I see, so no solution for this update…Any idea of equivalent module to replace MMM-PIR-Sensor ?

[bugsounet]

@selyjohns I done NO ads in this forum, sorry

[tanvir586]

@selyjohns
hi can you try
Cd MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor
And then
npm i magicmirror-rebuild
Then
./node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild

It might work.

[sdetweil]

@tanvir586 see
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/16074/electron-rebuild-and-magicmirror-v2-18-and-more/25?_=1648232499740

[selyjohns]

@sdetweil @tanvir586
Yes…Already tested. No fonctionnal

[sdetweil]

@selyjohns correct.

the author of the magicmirror rebuild tool said he will not fix it for this module.

as the module is in archived status

@sdetweil

I generally suggest the same as bugsoutnet…The best way would be to use one of the other PIR modules.
But i also found an solution which worked in my setup. I used the sdetweil script to install the current version of MagicMirror.
In the module directory of MMM-PIR-Sensor you need to delete package-lock.json and the node_modules folder:

rm -rf ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor/node_modules
rm -rf ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor/package-lock.json

Then you need to replace the whole content of package.json file with the following one that uses the MagicMirror-rebuild library of bugsounet…

{
  "name": "Magic-Mirror-Module-PIR-Sensor",
  "version": "1.1.0",
  "description": "PIR motion sensor module for the Magic Mirror.",
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "git+https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor"
  },
  "keywords": [
    "magic mirror",
    "smart mirror",
    "PIR-Sensor",
    "module",
    "motion"
  ],
  "author": "Paul-Vincent Roll",
  "contributors": "https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor/graphs/contributors",
  "license": "MIT",
  "bugs": {
    "url": "https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor/issues"
  },
  "homepage": "https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor#readme",
  "scripts": {
	  "postinstall": "node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "onoff": "latest",
    "magicmirror-rebuild": "latest"
  }
}

Then you need to run npm install

npm install

[sdetweil]

@wishmaster270 did u try the upgrade script?

it does delete both file and folder and then npm install

[wishmaster270]

@sdetweil Hi, i did a fresh install and added the module manually. I do not use MMM-PIR-Sensor but some other users had the same problem with MMM-Gestures (which i do not use either). Did a clean install of MagicMirror on a development Pi with your script and added modules manually.
