node_helper.js is not working?

[vandy2424]

@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!

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…).

@vandy2424

when you start mm,do

 npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1

that will capture all the backend output

the front end said it started the modules listed in that config.js

[vandy2424]

@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.js

there was a path resolve fix for config.js in this release

[vandy2424]

@sdetweil it returned the same location:

jackson@raspberrypi:~ $ find . -type f -name config.js
./Documents/MagicMirror/config/config.js

[sdetweil]

@vandy2424 weird. the console output doesn’t match…

ok, another thing, MagicMirror not running

ps -ef | grep -i magic
