MMM-uber and MMM-lyft

@kal hi, Earlier i had issues using POOL, mention ride_type: ‘uberPOOL’ , now working fine

[kal]

@shashank that’s weird…the API calls out ‘POOL’. Do you mind if I ask what country you are in?

@kal Singapore

@kal Thank you very much for creating these modules! For some reason I am unable to get both the Uber or Lyft module to return any results. The only thing displayed is their respective logos and “Checking for Uber/Lyft status…” messages. It’s been displaying this for hours now. Is there anything special I need to do once I have registered as a developer and gotten the server tokens?

[kal]

@Sarb Can you post your config file and log? It sounds like a REST API failure…

[Sarb]

@kal Please see my config entries below:

	{
		module: 'MMM-uber',
		position: 'top_right',
		header: 'Uber & Lyft',
		config: {
			lat: <>, 
			lng: <>, 
			uberServerToken: '<>',
			}
	},
	{
		module: 'MMM-uber',
		position: 'top_right',
		config: {
			lat: <>,
			lng: <>,
			uberServerToken: '<>',
			ride_type: 'uberXL',
			}
	},
	{
		module: 'MMM-lyft',
		position: 'top_right',
		config: {
			lat: <>, 
			lng: <>, 
			clientID: '<>',
			clientSecret: '<>',
			}
	},

Sorry for being such a noob but I am not sure where to pull my log file from. I ran a quick search and I read that it is supposed to be in a folder named pm2 in my pi folder but I do not see a folder with that name (even when showing hidden items). I did however notice this in my console window:

Whoops! There was an uncaught exception…

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

@Sarb your config looks good, but I want to see your log before I open an issue.

We need to view your JavaScript console. Access the mirror directly or whitelist the IP of another computer to access via a browser. Then, go to https://IP.of.Raspberry.Pi:8080 in Chrome and View>Developer>JavaScript Console.

See this this thread for more info.

@kal Please see below:

@Sarb Two things:

1. Make sure that your uberServerToken and clientID/clientSecret don’t contain the greater/less than characters in your config (these things: <>). Those are placeholders. For example, if your uberServerToken is abc123 then the line in your config should read uberServerToken: 'abc123', without those characters.

2. If that doesn’t work, can you go into the .js file for uber and un-comment this line. Then post the log. You should be looking for one that says ERROR...

@kal

1. I can confirm my uberServerToken and clientID/clientSecret don’t contain the greater/less than characters in my config file. I only used those so I wasn’t displaying them. :)

2. Please see screenshot below:
