Version 2.31.0 Error With Upgrade Scripts

[atwist]

I used the upgrade script to update my MagicMirror to 2.31.0 from 2.30.0. It ran into an error and now MagicMirror won’t start.

The upgrade log file shows

Ver 2.30.0 and Ext3 modules loaded, install fix

• _fix_clipping
  master
  updating MagicMirror runtime, please wait
  npm error code EACCES
  npm error syscall rename
  npm error path /home/twist/MagicMirror/node_modules/.ast-types-VPJXcxdi/node_modules/tslib/CopyrightNotice.txt

and it continues with npm error.

Any ideas how to fix this?

@atwist eaccess denied sounds like you might have run
one of the npm commands w sudo. (never do that)

so to fix this you have to do it again to clean up

cd ~/MagicMirror 
sudo rm -rf node_modules
cd fonts
sudo rm - rf node_modules
cd ../vendor 
sudo rm -rf node_modules

then run the upgrade script again with

force 

instead of

apply 

at the end

@atwist can you tell me what you did?

note that upgrade is a 2 step process

test
do

show me the output of ~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

I didn’t think i ran it with sudo but apparently i did. Thank you for your help!!

I did try the test first and it didn’t show errors. But, you got it working!
