Compliments module has stopped working
-
@geekhouri 1st. you never edit our files.
all config goes in config.js
just because we arent showing all the config in the starter config.js doesn’t change thisevery module has the same general layout
{ module: name, position: somewhere, config:{ // if needed to add or override the defaults for this module xxx:yhyy, module specific config properties qqw:700 } }next, what is the mm.sh error?, show me that file
the Vulcan errors are a noise bug in electron we cannot hide.
-
@sdetweil thanks for your reply. Just to be clear you mean i should not edit the compliments.js file and any configs should be in the config.js file (Sorry probably a newbie question but im still learning)
The mm.sh code is listed below:
cd ./MagicMirror DISPLAY=:0 npm startI hope this is what you are after.
-
@geekhouri the mm.sh should be
cd ~/MagicMirror~ means logged on users home folder
config.js, yes
{ module:"compliments", position:"....." config:{ compliments: your compliments config {.. } } }the system design is
whatever is in config.js, overrides/replaces what is defined in the module defaults section -
@sdetweil thanks for your feedback, i have updated my config.js file but now i run into the config file error and MM does not load. Code is below as is the error after running config: check
{ module: "compliments", position: "top_bar" config: { compliments: { anytime: ["Be Smart, Be Kind, Be Like Jesus!"], morning: ["Good morning!", "Enjoy your day!", "How was school"], afternoon: ["How was School?", "Finish Your homework?"], evening: ["Sweet Dreams", "You look nice!", "Ready for School"], "....-01-12": ["Happy new year!"] "....02-12": ["Happy Birthday E!"] "....03-12": ["Happy Birthday Z!"] "....05-12": ["Happy Birthday G!"] } },npm run config:check

Thanks again

@geekhouri said in Compliments module has stopped working:
Line 68 column 4: Parsing error: Unexpected token config
yes, 99% of the time that means the line before was missing a trailing comma (which means more lines coming for this item)
your last 4 lines of the compliments list do not have the trailing comma
and the position linejust because I didn’t include it my text above doesn’t mean it’s not required…
-
@sdetweil made those changes and MM is working again however i the compliments are still not visible? Any thoughts?
-
@geekhouri also missing a close } before the last one
{ module: "compliments", position: "top_bar", config: { compliments: { anytime: ["Be Smart, Be Kind, Be Like Jesus!"], morning: ["Good morning!", "Enjoy your day!", "How was school"], afternoon: ["How was School?", "Finish Your homework?"], evening: ["Sweet Dreams", "You look nice!", "Ready for School"], "....-01-12": ["Happy new year!"], "....02-12": ["Happy Birthday E!"], "....03-12": ["Happy Birthday Z!"], "....05-12": ["Happy Birthday G!"], } // end of compliments } // end of config } // end of moduleyou should see the error where you start mm…
if using pm2, then
pm2 logs --lines=50 -
@sdetweil still nothing, here is my code in full and the pm2 logs:
{ module: "compliments", position: "top_bar", config: { compliments: { anytime: ["Be Smart, Be Kind, Be Like Jesus!"], morning: ["Good morning!", "Enjoy your day!", "How was school"], afternoon: ["How was School?", "Finish Your homework?"], evening: ["Sweet Dreams", "You look nice!", "Ready for School"], "....-01-12": ["Happy new year!"], "....02-12": ["Happy Birthday E!"], "....03-12": ["Happy Birthday Z!"], "....05-12": ["Happy Birthday G!"], } //end of compliments } //end of config }, //end of modulePm2 logs as follows:

@sdetweil thanks again. Saved the file, flushed the logs rebooted and new log is below no new errrors and i think you previously stated the errors below cant be hidden. . Still no Compliments working (i’m at a loss now)

@geekhouri ok, lets stop using pm2…
pm2 stop all
then
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm startwait
if you are doing this on the MM screen
ctrl-q to stop mm (with pm2, it would restart it immediately… thats is job)so, see anything in the output??
I used your config and it worked (on v2.26) without any issues
-
@sdetweil followed instructions however do not see anything in the output as below:

-
@geekhouri do
cd ~/MagicMirror git checkout modules/default/compliments/compliments.js -
@sdetweil said in Compliments module has stopped working:
git checkout modules/default/compliments/compliments.js
And that has fixed it… very strange. Thanks @sdetweil
-
@geekhouri glad you got it fixed
