Default weather module not showing after MM update
-
Please help after updating to MagicMirror² version v2.20.0 today the default weather modules are no longer displaying. Does anyone know of the fix for this issue?
TIA John Janis -
@Jarhead96097 I was lucky I had a backup of my config. So just a reinstall and copy and paste. Everything is working fine now.
All the best. -
@01ZerosOnes01 Are there any errors? If you used npm start then see for any errors in the terminal. If you used pm2 then check the pm2 log for errors. The guys would require more information to be able to assist.

Here is the entry in the config file
{
module: “weather”,
position: “top_right”,
config: {
weatherProvider: “openweathermap”,
type: “current”,
location: “Elmhurst”,
locationID: “4891010”, //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
apiKey: “a77f2dd7cf1c2e3b156b4d757fb6axxx”
}
},
{
module: “weather”,
position: “top_right”,
header: “Weather Forecast”,
config: {
weatherProvider: “openweathermap”,
type: “forecast”,
location: “Elmhurst”,
locationID: “4891010”, //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
apiKey: “a77f2dd7cf1c2e3b156b4d757fb6axxx”
}

@01ZerosOnes01 See my first reply. Any errors from where you started the mirror?
-
@mumblebaj Hi, thanks for your response there are no errors on the screen when I run npm start. No loading of that module indication but there is space allocated for the weather module on the screen in the top right area. All other modules work. Everything was working before the update to the latest MM.
-
@01ZerosOnes01 I am just upgrading. Just one last check, see in the Developers window if there are any errors there.
shit + ctrl + i -
@01ZerosOnes01 I think there may be an issue with the api key for OpenWeatherMap.
-
@mumblebaj I xxx out the last few digits
-
@mumblebaj If I enter shit + ctrl + i in the terminal nothing shows up but a dialog box with Cancel and OK
-
@01ZerosOnes01 Hi. Not in the terminal from the browser window that displays the mirror. I have created an Openweathermap api key and I get an unauthorized error in the Developers window. I guess I have to wait for it to activate first. Once it is active I will see if I can spot anything.
-
@mumblebaj Okay this is what I get when I run shift + ctrl + i
Load script: modules/default/weather/weather.js
:8080/modules/default/weather/weather.js:159 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token . -

@Jarhead96097 Thanks for your info. Hopefully someone can come up with the fix.
-
how did u upgrade,and from what version?
I don’t see any significant code change here this release…
-
I keep the mirror updated so I am assuming it was updated from the last version.
I updated by first issuing git stash then git pull && npm install --only=prod --omit=dev
followed by git stash applyAll other default and third party modules work.
Thank for your help it is appreciated.
-
@01ZerosOnes01 I had my API authorized and the module works just fine with your location data. The only change I made was not add quotes around the locationID.

locationID: 4891010, -
@sdetweil I also upgraded from 2.19.0, which had been upgraded from 2.18.0. No problems before today.
-
@mumblebaj Well, unfortunately, removing the quotes around locationID did not resolve the issue on my configuration. I still receive “Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token” in weather.js:159.

Raspberry Pi 4 2GB
Well this is what i have done so far.
Removed SD card with broken default weather module.
With new SD card installed fresh 64bit Pi OS
Fresh manual install of MagicMirror
“name”: “magicmirror”,
“version”: “2.20.0”,
“description”: “The open source modular smart mirror platform.”,
“main”: “js/electron.js”,Entered my openweathermap credentials
and
Walla! the weather module works.
I have no idea why the weather module broke after the MagicMirror update. I will be following this thread to see if it is a problem or it was just a fluke.
Good luck and thanks to all that contribute.
Now I just have to reload my third party modules and customizations. -
@01ZerosOnes01 @sdetweil Glad to hear you’re up and running on a fresh install… I’m hoping to avoid having to rebuild mine. Any other thoughts?
And thanks for your time in advance!
