MyTTC stops at loading - does it require an API? - followed all steps for the ttc.

Another GREAT MODULE !!!

MyTTC

I installed the module and setup using the default config in the readme

it failed with this message

[22:04:25.291] [LOG]    raw ={"copyright":"All data copyright Toronto Transit Commission 2019.","Error":{"content":"For agency=ttc stop s=1148 is on none of the directions for r=143 so cannot determine which stop to provide data for.","shouldRetry":"false"}}

i removed stop 1148 from the stop request and it all works…

add this line to the node_helper.js and then look at the output on the terminal window or in the pm2 logs

    var predictionsArray = new Array();
		console.log("raw ="+JSON.stringify(rawJSON));   // add this line < - --
    if (rawJSON.predictions.length) {

the module is unable to tell u about error conditions like this

You are correct - removed the stop 1148 and it WORKS !! :)

Thank you - worked on this for hours!!

Hello! I’m a newb to this community so I hope it’s ok if I resurrect this old thread. I just started trying to set up my Magic Mirror and got caught on the MyTTC Module not working properly. I managed to fix it and wanted to relay this to others so they could too. I’m not sure how to fork a module and upload it otherwise so hopefully someone whose been coding longer might be able to do it!

Anyway, Nextbus changed the URL for making XML requests so I had to change this line in the node_helper.js:
webServiceURL: “https://retro.umoiq.com/service/publicJSONFeed”,
To this line:
webServiceURL: “http://webservices.nextbus.com/service/publicJSONFeed”,

I’m also having some issues with getting the Line and Stop numbers from the TTC as what I put in doesn’t seem to line up with what Nextbus/Umoiq has, but I’m still working on that. I hope this helps someone who is running into the same issues.

@Lvl15_Gazebo great work.

to fork on the module GitHub page push the fork button, top right.

now u have YOUR own copy

git clone that to magic mirror
(rename the old one first)

now u can copy in the files u changed from the old one to your copy

git status
will show the changed files

when u want to update your copy on GitHub

git add xxx
each of the files u changed (that’s xxx)

and then git commit -m" some message about why these changes"

then git push to upload the repo to github

if u want to contribute those back to the source module, you will see a contribute button to make a pull request

@sdetweil Thanks! I’ll give that a shot.

I also determined last night that there is now a third variable for the transit request on UMOIQ for “direction” so I’ll try to figure that out before I submit anything. I’m not the best coder so that might take a bit, haha. Hopefully, I don’t need to change the XML parsing too!
