Difficulty getting MMM-Transitfeed working

sdetweil

My next step is to figure out how to get to the same point with my actual dev system before making the same changes to the production system.

well, you can follow the steps from

npm install @electron/rebuild
onward

or you can follow all those steps… won’t hurt anything

How to get MMM-transitfeed working on a new installation of MagicMirror (based on @sdetweil’s assistance)

These are the steps I went through to get the module working after encountering version mismatch errors:

Note that I was starting with a clean install of Raspberry PiOS. I made no changes prior to the steps outlined below:

First, I installed MagicMirror using Sam Detweil’s script:

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"

Next, I installed the transitfeed module:

{
  cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
  git clone https://github.com/bnitkin/MMM-transitfeed.git
}

Then this reset the libraries:

{
  cd ~/MagicMirror
  rm -rf node_modules
  git checkout package.json
  git checkout package-lock.json
  npm run install-mm
}

I installed the electron rebuild package:

npm install @electron/rebuild

Next, I reset the module info:

{
  cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-transitfeed
  rm -rf node_modules
  git checkout package.json
  git checkout package-lock.json
  npm install
}

At this point, I installed gtfs:

{
  cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-transitfeed
  npm install gtfs
}

And lastly, I rebuilt sqlite3:

{
  cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-transitfeed
  ../../node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild
}

Here I added the default config from the module’s github page to my config.js and started the mirror. It worked!

Many thanks to Sam for his patience, knowledge, and caring assistance.
