@MMaik100 looks like your MagicMirror update did not complete

you must run npm install or npm run install-mm after the git pull (which also has to succeed)

@sdetweil said in newsfeed error sudden error referenceError: fetch is not defined:

npm install

I ended up rebuilding the whole system. Now I cant run the install successfully:

@MMaik100 do NOT install node manually
use my install script, it will install the correct version

OR in the short term edit the package.json file and change the

||22 to
|| 23

but you have to remember you did it, cause next update will complain about the changed file.

OR my upgrade script will let you forget thot change next time
