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

sdetweil

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

as the module is in archived status

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

@wishmaster270 did u try the upgrade script?

it does delete both file and folder and then npm install

@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.

Awesome. It really works. I had the same issue and it was really frustrating, until i stumbled upon this solution. Great my PIR-sensor module was revived. I just followed the steps mentioned and voila…it has come back to life. Thanks a ton, it is selfless gentlemen like yourself who keep this world going. Kudos.

Hoping someone can help. Having the same issue with MMM-Reddit since updating to MM v2.20.0 . Spent a couple days scouring this as well as other forums for a fix. I already tried everything from this thread. Still getting the error below, no matter what I try. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MM v2.20.0
Node v16.17.1
-Node-gyp v9.2.0
-NPM v8.15.0

This is the code I get for any rebuild or npm install…etc:

@Dresch360 said in electron-rebuild and MagicMirror v2.18 (and more):

Python executable “python2” in the PATH
npm ERR! gyp verb which failed Error: not found: python2

looks like u don’t have python version 2 installed

do python -v

@sdetweil Thanks Sam! Ughh…I feel pretty silly that I didn’t realize that. Was looking at the least obvious issue. Works perfectly after installing Python 2. Thanks again!
