I’m having this same error with a module… What am I doing wrong… any hints much appreciated

Does that module actually require an 'npm install' to be run? Don’t blindly run commands that you don’t know are actually necessary. You need to ask the author of that module how to properly install it, what the steps are, what’s needed, etc., etc. I know nothing of that module.

Edited to add: running an 'npm install' is generally only required if the specific module needs any additional node dependencies installed. However, the author would make this known. If it doesn’t say that anywhere, do not assume you have to do it yourself. You may end up causing more harm to your installation than good.

I’ve updated the ReadMe appropriately for this module, and this is available on the github page.

There are a few outstanding issues I need to address such as the calls to external domains (and a few other underlying issues), but I’m in the USA until the 6th of August and I won’t have time to address those issues until I return home.

Once the module is copied to the Modules folder, and the relevant config changes have been made, you shouldn’t need to “npm install” anything. You should simply be able to launch the MM software. No installations should be necessary. Be sure to read the Readme carefully, but if you can be more specific about the steps you have taken I can help you further.

Sorry. Wasn’t clear. I’m having this same issue with another module.

Am I correct that your http module isn’t working correctly yet?

Been trying to get it to work. Should solve a lot of my module needs. Home automation statuses and data from import.io.

Can’t wait 😃

Enjoy the holiday.

There appears to be a cross domain issue with the module. I’m currently travelling and I’m going to make it a top priority when I return to repair it. In addition, I have a very cool module upcoming :)

I’ll get the fix done as soon as I can guys. Sorry for the wait.

In the meantime if you have access to the server side clients of your request, please look into making requests accepted from any source as a temporary fix.

Could you please post a SMALL example xml file?
(Along with what I SHOULD see?)
Everything I have tried
(local xml file / file on NAS in local network / file from api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?id=2172797&APPID=**** )

first gives me “Awaiting Results” and then “No Results” or “Failed Request”

When I pull the stuff in my browser, I get the files. I’m banging into a wall here…

Best would be if I could just pull a file from my local NAS. Once I have the correct format, I can write them all day long (live in SQL world)

Thanks

He’s currently away. I think there’s a known issue he’s gonna fix when he gets home.

I’ve also tried everything you have. Works in browser but not with module.

Not too long to wait hopefully.
