node_helper.js is not working?
-
@vandy2424 what version of MagicMirror are you using?
what version of nodejs and electron are you running
if you do npm run server do you get messages?
-
@sdetweil Hi Sam, thank you for the quick reply!
MagicMirror version: v2.26.0
NodeJs version: v20.11.0
Electron version: 27.2.0If I do npm run server I do not get the messages.

@vandy2424
Is there any suspicious log in your terminal and front dev-console both? What they said? -
@MMRIZE Hello. To simplify this output, I am just enabling the default clock and weather module and MMM-DynamicWeather for these outputs. First is the dev console output. There is a Electron Security Warning but I think thats just a security notice. At the bottom, there is also another warning regarding the WebSocket.

I didn’t think to mention these warnings as my default modules are still working perfectly fine and the ones with node_helper.js that aren’t working, are still displaying their DIV on the MagicMirror (“…loading”).
Terminal:

Please let me know if there is any other information that is useful.
Thanks!
-
@vandy2424 we need to see the matching config.js please.
this run says only hello world and updatenotification are enabled
-
@vandy2424
If websocket is closed, the path between module and node_helper might be broken. May that be the reason or clue. But very unusual thing. ATM I cannot guess what happened. -
@vandy2424 said in node_helper.js is not working?:
To simplify this output, I am just enabling the default clock and weather module and MMM-DynamicWeather for these outputs
nothing matches that. please show the config.js and the logs from both backend and front end
-
@sdetweil Hi Sam, I am not sure what you mean by showing the logs from the backend and front end. I thought that is what I just showed you. (Terminal & dev console). You can see in the dev console, it loading clock, weather and MMM-DynamicWeather modules.
Please let me know what I am not understanding here and I will get you those logs. Thanks!
Here is the config.js file:
let config = { address: "0.0.0.0", // default is "localhost", port: 8080, // default, ipWhitelist: [], // default -- need to add your IP here, modules: [ { module: "clock", position: "top_left", config: { timeFormat:12, timezone:"America/Chicago", displaySeconds:"true", showPeriod:"true", showDate:"true", displayType:"both", }, }, { module: "weather", position: "top_right", config: { type: "current", units: "imperial", tempUnits: "imperial", windUnits: "imperial", apiVersion: "3.0", weatherEndpoint: "/onecall", apiKey: "KEY", lat:"50.75", lon:"-88.16", showUVindex:"true", }, }, { module: "weather", position: "top_right", config: { type: "daily", units: "imperial", tempUnits: "imperial", windUnits: "imperial", apiVersion: "3.0", weatherEndpoint: "/onecall", apiKey: "KEY", lat:"50.75", lon:"-88.16", }, }, { module: 'MMM-DynamicWeather', position: 'fullscreen_above', config: { // See https://github.com/scottcl88/MMM-DynamicWeather for more information. api_key: "KEY", lat:"50", lon:"-88.16", }, }, ], };Again this is just with the DynamicWeather module. I can add others but this simplifies.

@vandy2424 backend , console output from npm start
front end, in the developers window
this config does not match the messages
-
@sdetweil Hi Sam,
I am unsure how else I am supposed to respond other than to say, this is the exact config that produced those backend/front end logs. If this is unusual, maybe something is broken here? I am not sure what “working” logs are supposed to look like, since it sounds like mine may be broken.
To show proof, here are screenshots as I am unsure how else to provide feedback here.
(I pulled up the dev window as far as I could while still exposing working default modules). This output is the same as listed above:
I also did a CTRL-ALT-DELETE to allow me to access my text editor and pull up the MagicMirror/config.js file live while the magic mirror is still running. This is the exact config I posted previously:
The front & backend logs remain completely the same as posted earlier. Hopefully I am not completely misunderstanding you here. Thanks for the help!

@vandy2424
I think websocket issue would be the reason. Can you confirm whether other node_helper dependent module(e.g. default calendar module) works other than MMM-DynamicWeather?Usually, websocket could be broken by firewall setting, port problem, network quality or by old library, oand many various reasons. Anyway when websocket is broken once, socketNotification will not work.
-
@vandy2424 can you please show the contents of the config folder
-
@MMRIZE Hey MMRize,
Yeah I went ahead and setup the calendar module. The first thing I tried was running this module with the default config:
module: "calendar", position: "top_left", // This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions. config: { // The config property is optional. // If no config is set, an example calendar is shown. // See 'Configuration options' for more information. }, },This returned loading… on the magic mirror. (I assumed based on the documentation it would at least show an example calendar).
I then tried to add a very basic calendar in the config.js just to see if the result would change:module: "calendar", position: "top_left", // This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions. config: { // The config property is optional. // If no config is set, an example calendar is shown. // See 'Configuration options' for more information. calendars: [ { symbol: "calendar-check", url: "https://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/39/Canada_Holidays.ics" }, ], },And i still got the same result (Loading…).
-
when you start mm,do
npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1that will capture all the backend output
the front end said it started the modules listed in that config.js
-
@sdetweil yes here are the contents of the config folder:
-
@sdetweil I did this and exported a file out. I then went ahead and ran the MagicMirror for 2 minutes.
Here is the output (same as before):

@vandy2424 bizarre, ok try this
cd ~ find . -type f -name config.jsthere was a path resolve fix for config.js in this release
-
@sdetweil it returned the same location:
jackson@raspberrypi:~ $ find . -type f -name config.js ./Documents/MagicMirror/config/config.js -
@vandy2424 weird. the console output doesn’t match…
ok, another thing, MagicMirror not running
ps -ef | grep -i magic -
@vandy2424 according to the backend log, calendar was not a loaded module, so never get any data, loading… will be the only output
