Upgrade

[karsten13]

the eslint-plugin-package-json dependency has this requirement but this is only a devDependency so a normal install without devDependencies should not trigger this error.

@karsten13 when I run

npm run install-mm I get the dev error, even tho it specifies no dev

> npm install --no-audit --no-fund --no-update-notifier --only=prod --omit=dev

@sdetweil

so a normal install without devDependencies should not trigger this error

I wrote “should”, didn’t test it and this was my expectation to node behavior …

As node seems to check all dependencies, we need >= 22.22.2, we can edit release notes and forum post if needed …

[sdetweil]

@karsten13 bummer… I fixed this is a prior release of something, renamed the devdependencies: entry and then there was nothing to check… what a pita

fixed my scripts…

@mumblebaj

can you rerun, set node back…
sudo n 22.21.1

then run upgrade again with force to allow install over the same version

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" force

worked for me… thanks for the heads up

[sdetweil]

@karsten13 fixed the release notes

[karsten13]

@sdetweil I did it on github, will write a test for this so that we see it prior to release

[mumblebaj]

@sdetweil No worries. I will check tomorrow after work and downgrade node and install again. Will advise

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj if you have nvm or n installed (I detect nvm, install n )

do this

sudo n

it might give you a list, then pick the right one 22.21.1

if not there, then

sudo n 22.21.1

to install it

[mumblebaj]

@sdetweil Just ran it quickly and it seems like it installed 22.22.2

mumble@pi:~ $ sudo n

@sdetweil Just and FYI, I just tried a fresh install and got the same issue with node.

Then I tried using the script and it installed node v22.22.2 and looks like it is working.

yes, you didn’t use the install script you did it manually
