MMM-ModuleToggleButton suddenly broken?

@sdetweil
Hey Sam
Thank you very much.
To keep it simple, I installed your MMM-Buttons. The postinstall Script did run and I got positive Feedback regarding rebuilding Electron.

When i start MM after, I get still the same Error as before…

@philie ok, two things…

1 lets fix the epoll problem.
it seems that was installed accidentally in the wrong place as its outside the MagicMirror folder

/home/philie/node_modules/epoll

do

cd ~
rm -rf node_modules/epoll

2 use my fork of the MMM-ModuleToggleButton module which fixes the install
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-ModuleToggleButton

remove the old module folder, clone my fork and npm install it

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
rm -rf MMM-ModuleToggleButton
git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-ModuleToggleButton
cd MMM-ModuleToggleButton
npm install

let me know

philie

@sdetweil
Great! Module ist now installed fine and the test-confg (just the toggle module and another one to toggle activated) is working!

Very much appreciated what you are doing for this community! Thank you!

sdetweil

@philie awesome!!!

@sdetweil said in MMM-ModuleToggleButton suddenly broken?:

cd MMM-ModuleToggleButton

Hey there, it’s me again with the same problem…

I did the MM Update to 2.28.0 by Script. Like usually some things are broken after and I did npm install and npm rebuild in the MM rootdirectory. It installed some stuff and looked good so far.

But the module MMM-ModuleToggleButton stays broken like after every update.
It has again something to do with electron, I tried to reinstall electron, but have no success…

The output:

so, electron-rebuild in node_modules seems to be missing…

Indeed:

philie@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/node_modules $ cd electron

I did already the steps from last time (therefore I answer in this old topic) but no luck this time.
What can I do?

Thank you,
philie

sdetweil

@philie can you dump out the postinstall
file in the module folder…
it seems to be missing a step

sdetweil

@philie I see the postinstall script needed an update

do a
git pull
in the module folder
then
npm install again

philie

@sdetweil
Thank you Sam!
the edited script did not work for me but the commands worked. so I executed them manually:

philie@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm install @electron/rebuild

added 88 packages, and removed 74 packages in 25s

220 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details
philie@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild
✔ Rebuild Complete
philie@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $

unfortunately the next issue is already on the dorstep:

message:14:59:24.366] [31m[ERROR][39m [31m(node:2306) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: The module '/home/philie/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-ModuleToggleButton/node_modules/epoll/build/Release/epoll.node'[39m,

So it looks like the thing about epoll is not yet solved…

sdetweil

@philie never use sudo…

the electron-rebuild command has to be done from inside the module folder(togglebuttons), not the MagicMirror folder

philie

@sdetweil
Thank you very much! This did the trick. concerning sudo… it’s sometimes confusing because often I get the message, I do not have enough rights for some commands…

sdetweil

@philie in general for MM there is NEVER a need for sudo… it will cause problems and LATER you will need to user sudo AGAIN…

the SYSTEM commands may need to use sudo…

apt update, upgrade, editing files in the /etc folder
because THOSE are owned by the system and should NOT be editable by a user
(they are protected on purpose)

the fact that the postinstall script failed is probably because you did sudo before and now the npm files are owned by root instead of user… (see line 1 above)
