here is the perfect french translation.

Fixed, thank you!

git pull in the MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Lunartic folder for the corrected translation

the text is not perfectly under the animated picture but a little on the left.

Update:

The API I was using for this module is no longer available. What was I to do?

Provide my own API. :^)

So, along with the new API, there is a new config option to view an image of the appearance of the current moon, updated minutely. Courtesy of the U.S. Navy. Salute!

Noob questions!

When I pull the latest files, both the core .js files have Windows control characters in them. (I don’t think this is the source of my problems, but it seems maybe unintentional.)
My fresh stock MM install does not like the config files for this module. It’s the only custom module I’ve tried to add in this install. Whenever I add it to my main config, startup throws a config validation error and reverts to the default file. I’m having a hard time debugging it to provide a more precise error, since it’s just failing out at the initial validation stage. Any ideas how I can debug more precisely?

Thanks!

@thetalentedfool you can put your config here so we can have a look

It’s not, but thank you for bringing that to my attention.

The problem is/was completely my fault. In a recent update to the repo, specifically the README file, I failed to place a comma at the end of the image: "animation" line of the config entry. I’ve updated the repo and apologize for the error. Your config entry should now look like this:

{
        module: 'MMM-Lunartic',
        position: 'top_left',                   // Best in left, center, or right regions
        config: { 
		image: "animation",                     // animation, current or static
		distance: "miles",                      // miles or km
		useHeader: false,                       // true if you want a header
		header: "The Lunartic is in my head",   // Any text you want
		maxWidth: "300px",
		animationSpeed: 3000,                   // updated info fades in and out
        }
    },

If you have any further problems or questions, don’t hesitate to post for assistance. Thanks!

Peace

@Mykle1 D’oh! Can’t believe I missed that too - my kingdom for an actual helpful nodejs debug message with pointers to the offending line. Works great now. Thanks for the response!

@thetalentedfool

No, thank you. Just a stupid mistake on my part.

MM has a command that will check your config and point out the errors but that command escapes me. I’ll take a look for it. Otherwise, jshint.com and jslint.com are pretty useful when I remember to actually USE them. :-)

@thetalentedfool

Found it! Here is the command that will check your config if you get that error at launch. I assume you need to run it in the MagicMirror directory
npm run config:check

@thetalentedfool

I removed the comma from the config and ran npm run config:check. The result would be enough to determine the cause.
