Merge conflict detected in your package.json

sdetweil

see this
https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/addressing-merge-conflicts/resolving-a-merge-conflict-using-the-command-line

but for you the simple explanation

edit the package.json file

find the line with ======
delete that line thru the line with >>>>>>>>

repeat til all are gone

go back to top
delete all lines with
<<<<<<<<<

save the file

git add package.json
git commit -m " save new"

the git commit may require you to identify yourself
| updated
git config --local user.name ??? <----your name
git config --local user.email ??? <----your email

@sdetweil Hi, so i had the same issue and after running the commands i get this

MagicMirror $ git commit -m"save new"
U package-lock.json
error: Committing is not possible because you have unmerged files.
hint: Fix them up in the work tree, and then use ‘git add/rm ’
hint: as appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit.
Thanks

sdetweil

@Guku i hate package-lock.json… should NEVER be shipped…

its used in the test env to get the right level of code, but we have SO many platforms, that the lock file is garbage…

anyhow

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout package-lock.json

Guku

@sdetweil just more errors…

/MagicMirror $ git checkout package-lock.json
error: path ‘package-lock.json’ is unmerged
i just started fresh with version 2.25 few months ago and this is the 1st update, how are things go wrong so quickly? the old build i had for few years without and issue.

sdetweil

@Guku rm package-lock.json

to erase it

my upgrade script handles this for you

Guku

@sdetweil said in Merge conflict detected in your package.json:

rm package-lock.json

ran your upgrade script and now see this

MagicMirror $ npm run server
npm ERR! code EJSONPARSE

@Guku I’m guessing because of the merge conflict the install didn’t work

do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install

then start again

Guku

@sdetweil i think that finally did it!
thank you so much for your help Sam!
