how to update my MM

sdetweil

@rikko14 look in the pm2 logs output

search for Cannot find module

sorry for the dual use of the word module. NPM calls the library a module and MagicMirror calls its app a module…

after that string, there will be a name in quotes ‘request’ or ‘valid-url’, or maybe something else

on one of the next lines will be a file path

MagicMirror/modules/??? some MagicMirror module name

THAT is the MagicMirror module which is missing the library found in the 'Cannot find module ’ message above

So, navigate to that MagicMirror module folder

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/modulename

and then look for the package.json file

ls package.json

if you get ‘No such file or directory’ in response to the ls command, then create the file by doing

npm init -y

next step,

npm install ???
where ??? is the name of the missing library in the message ’ Cannot find module ’

done for this library for this MM module

@mumblebaj oh… no… don’t want to get into that

they are two distinct functions… users have to learn sometime

mumblebaj

@sdetweil :-) I understand. But it would make your life easier with running the wrong script, messing up their install and you having to go through a 100 different things for them to do to get it fixed… :-)

sdetweil

@mumblebaj they can’t mess up their install …

install aborted as already present

upgrade won’t change anything unless you ask for it.
and it won’t try to upgrade to the same version, unless you report it and I tell you how to get around it.
(I am constantly finding things that users don’t understand, and trying to make life easier as best I can)

this particular problem is unrelated to the scripts…

it was caused by a networking problem I can’t fix.
and I don’t know if all this will work .

I do this for the first modul :

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-DHT-Sensor
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-DHT-Sensor $ ls package.json
package.json
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-DHT-Sensor $

i do this : npm init -y ?

sdetweil

@rikko14 no. the file exists.

only do npm init -y if the file does NOT exist

RIKKO14

@sdetweil as you told me, I do cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/modulename for each module.
I found an error in the last module : MMM-WeatherOrNot, a module that I no longer use so I deleted it with the command : cd ~ / MagicMirror and rm -rf modules / MMM-WeatherOrNot then i redid pm2 save and pm2 start 0 and turned the MM off and on again with ~ 1 minute but I still have a black screen and an electron problem.
what to do ?

mumblebaj

@rikko14 Can you run the following command and post the output please?

grep -r -E '('request')' ~/MagicMirror/modules/*/*.js

Or post the pm2 logs again? There must be a module that is missing a module as per what Sam advised previously. Let us see if we can find the module that is broken.

I do not remember anymore how to post the pm2 logs

mumblebaj

@rikko14 So now you now that 2 modules require the module request. Please run the following scripts so we can determine which modules do not have request installed and post the output.

find ~/MagicMirror/modules/* -type d -name request

RIKKO14

@mumblebaj

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ find ~/MagicMirror/modules/* -type d -name request
/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MovieListings/node_modules/request
/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify/node_modules/request
/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify/node_modules/npm/node_modules/request
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

mumblebaj

@rikko14 From this output, their is one module that uses the request module that is not listed. In that module folder you now need to go and install request using the steps that Sam provided you.

RIKKO14

@mumblebaj i do this :

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ find ~/MagicMirror/modules/* -type d -name request
/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MovieListings/node_modules/request
/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify/node_modules/request

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MovieListings $

but the problem remains the same (black screen et Electron problem)

RIKKO14

any solutions ?

mumblebaj

@rikko14 You are missing the steps the sdeitwel provided. If the pacskage.json exists then you DO NOT run the npm init -y command. You must only run the npm install request command. You would or should have noticed that MMM-MovieListings already has request installed.

mumblebaj

@rikko14 Just a final hint. The only module that seems to have a problem is MMM-soccer. You can check that module to see if it has a package.json. If it does then DO NOT run the npm init -y. However, looking at the MMM-soccer module on Github it has been updated to use node-fetch. You probably need to do a git pull && npm install in the MMM-soccer module folder to get the latest version of the module.

Then start the mirror with pm2. pm2 start mm or however you start it with pm2. then pm2 stop and then pm2 log --lines 100 and post the log output if you are still experiencing the black screen.
