issues updating MMM-calendar EXT3

[sdetweil]

@JMac said in issues updating MMM-calendar EXT3:

used both of those then tried to up date the rest of the module

sorry, brain fart…

you need the git pull
after the git reset , before the npm install

[JMac]

@sdetweil so just to be clear its,
git checkout package-lock.json
git reset
git pull
npm install

within the calendar ext3 module folder?

[sdetweil]

@JMac no

# put package-lock.json back to last git clone state
git checkout package-lock.json
# update the module
git pull
# rerun npm install  with new code
npm install

all in the module folder

# lines are comments and will be ignored if you copy paste that whole thing

@sdetweil I just encountered the same problem and followed your instructions in your last post. This did not fix the problem. I continue to get the same error

“your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by the merge: package-lock.json
please commit them or stash them before you merge.
Aborting.”

Thoughts on what to do next?

@nschertz you ARE in the module folder, right?
edited

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3
git checkout package-lock.json
git pull
npm install

right?

just for information, the real issue is the the lock file is included in the package, right?

[sdetweil]

@BKeyport and it gets updated by npm install

You can do npm ci
Which will ONLY install the EXACT versions listed in the lock file, even if it’s wrong for your system

[nschertz]

@sdetweil Correct. After executing “git reset package-lock.json”, I get the message “Unstaged changes after reset:
M package-lock.json”

I then run git pull and get
pi@MagicMirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3 $ git pull

@nschertz sorry, oops… wrong command!

git checkout package-lock.json

fixed the prior posts with note edited

[nschertz]

to clarify… execute “git checkout package.json” instead of " git reset package.json" or execute “git checkout package.json” and " git reset package.json"?
