MMM-DarkSkyForecast - Yet ANOTHER weather module

[Cr4z33]

@j-e-f-f I don’t know why, but when I use your module after a while MM becomes all dark although modules keep working (ie. MMM-AssistantMk2).

There’s no specific timing for the issue to appear (it can be after 1 hour or after 15 mins, etc.).

Modules won’t appear again until I restart MM.

This is my current module config:

		{
			module: "MMM-DarkSkyForecast",
			header: "Meteo",
			position: "top_right",
			classes: "default everyone",
			disabled: false,
			config: {
					apikey: "***",
					latitude: "***",
					longitude: "***",
					language: "it",
					forecastHeaderText: "***",
					label_timeFormat: "hh:mm",
					iconset: "4c",
					concise: false,
					showSummary: false,
					forecastLayout: "table"
				}
		}

@j-e-f-f yep. Thanks. Just lots of trial and error but it was set up how I wanted.

@j-e-f-f you there? :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

@Cr4z33 I have not seen this behaviour… the module does not do anything to hide any modules including itself… you can examine the code for yourself to see. My guess is there is some unintended consequence of my module interacting with one of the other ones your are also using… Can you try disabling the other modules one at a time to see if the behaviour goes away? If it does, whichever was the last one to be disabled is likely the other party. We can start investigating what’s going on after that.

that usually means MM has crashed… many times this is memory related… we know that the default updater module also causes a similar behavior

[Cr4z33]

@j-e-f-f OK, I’ve started disabling all other 3rd-party modules and enabling them one by one.

Apart from that what shall I look to then once there’s an issue between your module and the one of someone else? :)

@sdetweil so what do you suggest me to do? :thinking_face:
At first I thought that using MMM-WatchDog could sort the problem, but I feel like I misunderstood? :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

[sdetweil]

@Cr4z33 watchdog will just allow you to restart when it crashes… not capture why…

I still don’t have a good method for capturing these kinds of failures…

[Cr4z33]

@sdetweil oh I see, but then even if my MM doesn’t look like it restarted.

By now I am trying to see the overall behaviour with the Update module being disabled to see if the issue is still happening.

[sdetweil]

@Cr4z33 yeh. i don’t know how watchdog works… at some level if the MM process hangs, watchdog can’t work either… (my opinion without looking at the code)

[Cr4z33]

@sdetweil alright.

In the meantime disabling the Update module sorted out the issue… weird…

Oh well that means I will run the updater manually from time to time. :D
