I’ve got a config that’s trying to use the following 5 modules:</p>
<ul>
<li>clock</li>
<li>currentweather</li>
<li>calendar</li>
<li>weatherforecast</li>
<li>my_ip (custom module to print the Pi’s IP address)</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">I’ve got everything installed, and I run the server with “node serveronly”.  Here are the weird things I’m seeing:</p>
<ol>
<li>Starting up the server prints the following.  This seems odd because the final display is showing all the modules, so it clearly <em>is</em> loading the config:<br />
Loading config …<br />
WARNING! Could not find config. Please create one.<br />
Loading module helpers …<br />
No helper found for module: helloworld.<br />
All module helpers loaded.<br />
Starting server op port 8080 …<br />
Server started …<br />
Sockets connected &amp; modules started …<br />
Ready to go! Please point your browser to: <a href="http://localhost:8080" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">http://localhost:8080</a></li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">(When I use this config on my PC, it works correctly, and running “node serveronly” prints out a lot more messages like “No helper found for module: alert” and notes about starting node helpers)</p>
<ol start="2">
<li>When I view the MagicMirror page from a browser (on my PC), I can see the clock, the currentweather, and the weatherforecast all working correctly.  However, the calendar is blank and my my_ip module is blank.  The primary difference I see between these modules and the other three are that they both use node_helper.  I don’t see any output showing that the node helpers have started, which is also why I think this might be going wrong.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Any suggestions on where to look or how to troubleshoot further?  I’m not sure where to find any logs or error messages on the Pi from the MagicMirror.  Right now I don’t have anything automated, I’m just running “node serveronly” directly from the command line on the Pi.</p>
<p dir="auto">Some other information:</p>
<ul>
<li>I’m running raspian 4.1.19+ #858</li>
<li>I’ve run “sudo apt-get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt-get upgrade -y” to make sure I’m up-to-date</li>
</ul>

<p dir="auto">I was running node v0.12.9.  Once I upgraded to node v6.2.1 everything worked fine.</p>

<ul>
<li>It also happens if I just copy config.js.sample to config.js, so it has nothing to do with node_helper or my custom modules.  Sorry for the false alarm there.</li>
<li>I added a bit of code to app.js to print out the exception being thrown, and it’s “TypeError: undefined is not a function” from the Object.assign call in loadConfig.  I also added printouts of both defaults and c just above the Object.assign call, and they both appear to be loaded and correct.</li>
</ul>
