[ERROR] _ is not defined

@nowayto yes, but its two steps

one time without any parameters (test mode)
and one time with apply

all you have to do is click/copy the first time and run it
then do the same on the second if the first ends successfully

@sdetweil MM doesn’t work.

I tried a config check but I have this error now.
I tried to “npm install eslint -g” but the error persist

npm run config:check

magicmirror@2.31.0 config:check
node js/check_config.js

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1404
throw err;

npm seems to see an old version of nodejs but:

~/MagicMirror $ node -v
v22.15.0

I don’t know what happened.
If it can help I had first problem after the MMM-SolarPicture
but I’ve just installed it and configured it through config.js… nothing more than usual…

but the actual behaviour is that pm2 status says it’s running, but on the monitor I see just the raspbian desktop

@nowayto two things

doing test run = true, NO updates will be applied!
upgrading from version 2.31.0 to 2.31.0

doing test run changes nothing, its a safety check

and i wont let you upgrade over the same release accidentally

so you need to rerun the command and add

force

to the end

sdetweil

@nowayto NEVER use sudo with any npm command

the number in the pm2 status 4311 is the number of restarts

youve got a mess

now we HAVE to use sudo to undo it

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

lets see about node

which node
n 
q to quit
nvm

dont do anything else til we figure out the nodejs problem

nowayto

@sdetweil I’m sorry :(

I did it what you suggest and config:check gave me a module error again. Different than one before

npm run config:check

magicmirror@2.31.0 config:check
node js/check_config.js

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1404
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module ‘ajv’
Require stack:

After “require stack” there are other lines, if you need it, tell me.
Thanks

sdetweil

@nowayto

i said stop

we need to fix nodejs so npm install will work

node -v

says something
and npm install says node is different

i am trying to figure out where node is installed and by who
system, nvm or n

you didn’t give me answers to the commands i provided

nowayto

@sdetweil

which node gave me
/home/MYMIRR/.nvm/versions/node/v22.15.0/bin/node

n gave me
node/20.18.1

Use up/down arrow keys to select a version, return key to install, d to delete, q to quit

nvm gave me

Node Version Manager (v0.39.5)

Note: refers to any version-like string nvm understands. This includes :

full or partial version numbers, starting with an optional “v” (0.10, v0.1.2 , v1)
default (built-in) aliases: node, stable, unstable, iojs, system
custom aliases you define with nvm alias foo

followed by a lot of options
