After update MMM-Buttons breaks, made things worse trying to fix it

@gonzonia my backup/restore scripts might help move the config and modules

@gonzonia
Clean reinstalling is always a solid option definitely.
Your issue might have been node version was mismatched.
Ref this; https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases
Before update your node with nvm, you might need (sudo) apt update & upgrade.

@MMRIZE my upgrade script upgrades node/npm

the ekectron-rebuild cannot run from the module folder anymore…

gonzonia

@MMRIZE I did an apt-update and upgrade . Actually the node version went too far. It was suddenly version 20+ I just reset it to 16.20.1 (which is what’s showing up as I do the clean install on the other machine). That seems to get me back to where I might be able to recover from this mess.

@sdetweil I used your upgrade script but I’m not sure what happened. I’m now at least back to this

pi@MagicMirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Buttons $ npm install

> Magic-Mirror-Module-Buttons@1.0.0 postinstall
> node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -e ../../node_modules/electron

Any ideas

yes, MMM-Buttons is busted on upgrade… use my fork

gonzonia

@sdetweil Apologies. You did say that already and it didn’t penetrate. Replaced with your fork and it looks like I’m mostly back up. CalendarExt2 doesn’t seem to be loading though. I’ll have to dig into that later.

@gonzonia had same problems and tried several methods. i’m not a linux crack and can only make what other say to try. :see-no-evil_monkey: :grinning_squinting_face:

this Post help me: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/16074/electron-rebuild-and-magicmirror-v2-18-and-more/2?page=1

✔ MagicMirror Rebuild Complete

That you see MagicMirror Rebuild Complete !
Your module is now installed correctly

This way will also be good for the Originl MMM-Buttons from the Year 2017 and many other modules!

if you work with this module https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Buttons you must change 2 lines and add 1 line in the file package.json after git clone:

a.) change Line 23 from
"postinstall": "node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -e ../../node_modules/electron" to
"postinstall": "node_modules/.bin/magicmirror-rebuild -e ../../node_modules/electron"

b.) change Line 29 from
"electron-rebuild": "^1.2.1" to
"magicmirror-rebuild": "^1.0.0"

c.) add a line after line26 from
"onoff": "latest" to

"onoff": "latest",
"magicmirror-rebuild": "latest"

after that you can continue with step 3, good luck :)

@Lusbueb or, you can get my fork of MMM-Buttons which fixes the install problem

@sdetweil Of course I had also tried your git repo but it didn’t work for me, so I kept looking and with the alternative migicmirror-rebuild every module worked.
I’ve also seen that some modules have been adapted to magicmirror-rebuild, but it’s of no use if you don’t know exactly how to use it.
my description above was the solution that worked for me, so I published it here.
thank you again for your support. :hugging_face:

sdetweil

@Lusbueb I’d like to know what didn’t work, as I test it quite often. I don’t like providing fixes that don’t work…
