Module not showing up

basho429

Hello. I am new to MagicMirror. I installed it on my Mac mini and I got the default calendar, weather, news, and compliment modules working.

I installed a different weather module (git cloned and npm installed). I added the new module to my config file. I ran the config check and no errors were found. However, when I ran Magic Mirror, I don’t see the new module.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

@basho429 can u show the part of config.js for that module. xxx out any API key

what module is it?

@sdetweil

It is the MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast module.

I copied the sample configuration from the github page (providing my own apikey, changing the header, latitude, and longitude). However, all I see is the header and “Loading…”

All the other modules are running (default weather, compliment, news, clock, and calendar).

On Terminal, I see two lines that pertains to MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast.

Checking git for module: MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast
[MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast] 15-Dec-22 10:23 ** ERROR ** null

Any idea what these means? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Thank you.

Here is my module config:

{
  module: "MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast",
  header: "MY CITY",
  position: "top_right",
  classes: "default everyone",
  disabled: false,
  config: {
    apikey: "MY OWN APIKEY",
    latitude: "MY LATITUDE",
    longitude: "MY LONGITUDE",      
    iconset: "4c",
    concise: false,
    forecastLayout: "table"
  }
},

@basho429 edit the module node_helper.js and change this

                    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {

                        //Good response
                        var resp = body; //needle automagically parses the response as JSON
                        resp.instanceId = payload.instanceId;
                        self.sendSocketNotification("OPENWEATHER_ONE_CALL_FORECAST_DATA", resp);

                    } else {
                        console.log("[MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast] " + moment().format("D-MMM-YY HH:mm") + " ** ERROR ** " + error);
                    }

to this

                    if (!error){
                        // Good response
                        if(response.statusCode == 200) {

                            var resp = body; //needle automagically parses the response as JSON
                            resp.instanceId = payload.instanceId;
                            console.log(" needle responding="+JSON.stringify(resp))
                            self.sendSocketNotification("OPENWEATHER_ONE_CALL_FORECAST_DATA", resp);
                        }
                        else {
                            console.log("[MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast] " + moment().format("D-MMM-YY HH:mm") + " ** bad status ** " + response.statusCode);
                        }

                    } else {
                        console.log("[MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast] " + moment().format("D-MMM-YY HH:mm") + " ** ERROR ** " + error);
                    }

then restart MagicMirror, and look at the messages again

at least u will get a good error report

I changed the module node_helper.js and restarted MagicMirror. However, I am still not getting any new error message. It’s still the same NULL error. Can you please check below and see if I changed it properly? Thank you.

@basho429 ok, we are talking different modules now

that is the MMM-BMW-OW module

to get its helper back, in that module folder do

git checkout node_helper.js

my code goes in the node_helper.js for MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast module only
