<![CDATA[Logging issues]]>I’m having trouble with logging issues again - and want to get some feedback on why and how it’s not working -

Trying to get a module (MMM-pages) to work the way I want it to - and notice in the code that it’s using Log.warn to try and log errors and whatnot.

I’m launching MM with pm2, in a server/client enviroment.

PM2 logs show nothing from this module, either on the server or the client.

my config.js has log level set at logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR", "DEBUG"],

where is this actually logging to?

new git pull

I put it in manual mode (rotationTime:0,)
and it also works as expected

doing pause-rotation?

It’s now changing pages correctly, but it will resume rotation if pause is already set and you request it again.

so 1234test returns 1234

which is incomplete

such was my comment about what to do

Maybe a re-write to see if it’s a string, then parseint(this.curPage) - and if it’s not NaN, run it?

but ive got to figure out how to deal with that

its a number, 0 , not a string “0” or ‘0’

I think you can set page (will resume rotation)
then immediately (or before rotationTime) pauseRotation

For reference, same configuration as before.

can you show any part of what you logged?

it signals updateDom() which calls getDom()
oops no place to put it. oh well

hidden pages stop rotation

IMG_0832.png .

i think it says that ‘not in the normal rotation’

pause while paused restarts is a bug i think, will review
as i just fixed that area too

So, here’s what I got…

  1. Apparently, MMM-pages will resume the rotation if you tell it to pause, but it’s already paused.
  2. It should be documented that MMM-pages will pause as part of the hidden pages routine.

While I was looking and debugging

Out of curiosity, why would calendar try to update the DOM without being given a location to display

pm2 only sees the stdout/stderr consoles (so only from node_helpers log. or console.)

so to merge them together you would use
MMM-Logging or MMM-LogExt
then all the messages are logged in the stdout/err console

i extended logging, MMRIZE did LogExt

logLevel decides which messages print
