MMM-GoogleTasks errors out randomly

angeliKITTYx

It used to be about once a week, but now it’s happening much more frequently. If I restart MM, the error goes away and the module displays correctly until it errors out again. Does anyone know a solution to this? SS of the error (I blocked out my list ID)

There are some forks of this module, which one do you use? According to my knowledge, the following is the most up-to-date: https://github.com/spydersoft-consulting/MMM-GoogleTasks

Run git remote -v in the module’s directory to find out.

~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleTasks $ git remote -v
origin	https://github.com/themox/MMM-GoogleTasks.git (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/themox/MMM-GoogleTasks.git (push)

How do I switch? Thank you so much for your help

Got to the modules directory:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules

Delete the “old” MMM-GoogleTasks directory:
rm -r MMM-GoogleTasks

Clone the fork:
git clone https://github.com/spydersoft-consulting/MMM-GoogleTasks

Change to the module directory:
cd MMM-GoogleTasks

Install dependencies:
npm install

@KristjanESPERANTO thank you!! I’m trying to set it up and I’m stuck on step 4 of Authentication Setup

When I run the command, I get an error, and my token.js doesn’t provide any account names or list names to use in the [account] section of the config.

node authenticate.mjs -c /home/xxxx/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleTasks/credentials.json -t /home/xxxx/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleTasks/token.json

file:///home/burgess/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleTasks/authenticate.mjs:26
    currentTokens.forEach(element => {
                  ^

TypeError: currentTokens.forEach is not a function
    at file:///home/xxxx/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleTasks/authenticate.mjs:26:19
    at FSReqCallback.readFileAfterClose [as oncomplete] (node:internal/fs/read/context:68:3)

Node.js v20.10.0

(replaced my account name with “xxxx”

@angeliKITTYx I had a little trouble with the google calender stuff because at first I didn’t realize I had to get a google developer account and then I could setup the api’s. Every once in a while, especially if my mirror has been unplugged for 24 hours, I have to do the authorize again. Also I have to first delete the token file that gets created. The authorize script won’t over write the token. Maybe look at the instructions for the MMM-GoogleCalendar might help you? The two modules seem very similar.

@kayakbabe I have Google calendar and Google photos working on my MM just fine. Both used similar oauth api credential file instructions, but this one seems a little more complicated.
