MMM-NOAAForecast install fails

[sdetweil]

@RonR yes, this is a module problem… the module does not document that it NEEDS needle
it has no package.json, which documents the dependencies…

this highlights a gap in the MMM-Config installer…
I have some code in the upgrade script that checks for KNOWN missing requires…
I opened issue https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config/issues/77

to fix this on the current setup

ssh to the docker host
docker exec -it mm bash 
cd modules/MMM-NOAAForecast
npm install needle
exit

then restart the docker container

cd ~/magicmirror/run
docker compose up -d
exit

the module should be working now

[RonR]

That did it. Had to do a “docker restart mm” also before the screen updated correctly. Thanks for your help.

[sdetweil]

@RonR docker compose up should force a restart, but you got it

[sdetweil]

@RonR I have completed the fixes for this problem as a general solution… thanks for pointing it out.

git pull in the module folder to get the fix
(on docker you have to docker exec into the container first)

[RonR]

Yes, that fixed it . Thanks for the help.
