Looking for beta testers for MMM-Remote-Control
-
@Jopyth is there a possibility to include system updates in the remote ? ie “apt dist-upgrade” or whatever subsystem thats used on the system.
-
@rvdgeer Would be great to find out what causes this and hopefully fix it, however it is still not clear to me, what the reason is. I will investigate a little bit more on the weekend. Maybe I am able to reproduce the issues, could you post your
node --version?In the meantime you could compare your
config.jsand theconfig.js.backupXand see if you find possible differences? -
This morning (CET) I have a little more time to do bug reports, troubleshoot and answer some of your questions.
So, first things first.My node version:
v6.8.1About the config backups:
I noticed the that the double quotes were added to the keys and values before the backup was made.
This means I don’t have a backup of the true original.
It also means I can only compare the current config file to the backup and not the the original.Another thing I noticed is that backupfile got overwritten this morning.
Because my MagicMirror is still a work in progress it’s powered off most of the time.
When I tried to reproduce the issues I came across last time I noticed that the first backup I made was saved as config.js.backup1, overwriting a previous backup.
At least for me this wasn;t expected behaviour and I don’t think it’s how I wish to save (or lose) my backups.About saving hidden/shown modules:
As I said before, I haven’t set any special permisions and I’m using the default useron my Pi Zero:pi
Becasue there’s no keyboard and mouse attached (the Pi Zero’s micro usb port is used for a wifi dongle) I use ssh and scp (and of cource the Remote!) to do most editing, testing and troubleshooting.
On saving the current state of hidden/shown modules the pm2 logs reported this:
On hiding the helloworld module:0|mm | ** Message: console message: http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Remote-Control//MMM-Remote-Control.js @219: [object Object] 0|mm | ** Message: console message: http://localhost:8080/js/logger.js @20: helloworld is suspended. 0|mm | ** Message: console message: http://localhost:8080/js/module.js @313: TypeError: Object is not a function (evaluating 'callback()')On saving the current state directly after:

I you need any specific testing, please let me know and I’ll try to find the time. -
And one more.
On restarting I get the following error:0|mm | { Error: Command failed: pm2 restart mm 0|mm | at ChildProcess.exithandler (child_process.js:206:12) 0|mm | at emitTwo (events.js:106:13) 0|mm | at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:191:7) 0|mm | at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:877:16) 0|mm | at Socket.<anonymous> (internal/child_process.js:334:11) 0|mm | at emitOne (events.js:96:13) 0|mm | at Socket.emit (events.js:188:7) 0|mm | at Pipe._handle.close [as _onclose] (net.js:498:12) 0|mm | killed: true, 0|mm | code: null, 0|mm | signal: 'SIGTERM', 0|mm | cmd: 'pm2 restart mm' } 0|mm | Loading config ... 0|mm | Loading module helpers ... 0|mm | No helper found for module: helloworld. 0|mm | No helper found for module: alert. 0|mm | Initializing new module helper ... 0|mm | No helper found for module: clock. 0|mm | Initializing new module helper ... 0|mm | Initializing new module helper ... 0|mm | No helper found for module: currentweather. 0|mm | No helper found for module: weatherforecast. 0|mm | Initializing new module helper ... 0|mm | No helper found for module: compliments. 0|mm | Initializing new module helper ... 0|mm | All module helpers loaded. 0|mm | Starting server op port 8080 ... 0|mm | Server started ... 0|mm | Connecting socket for: MMM-Remote-Control 0|mm | Starting node helper for: MMM-Remote-Control 0|mm | Connecting socket for: MMM-Traffic 0|mm | MMM-Traffic helper started ... 0|mm | Connecting socket for: calendar 0|mm | Starting node helper for: calendar 0|mm | Connecting socket for: MMM-NetworkScanner 0|mm | Starting module: MMM-NetworkScanner 0|mm | Connecting socket for: newsfeed 0|mm | Starting module: newsfeed 0|mm | Sockets connected & modules started ... 0|mm | Ready to go!

Is there any new version to test?
-
@done Kind of, yes. I think I have not fixed all mentioned errors, but hopefully the major ones. Also @Mr-Meeseeks added some new functionality (sending alerts).
Feel free to
git pullthe current status and test again. :) It should no longer mess upconfig.jsfiles as much, but it still could be. It is usingconfig.js.backupXso make manual backup somewhere else. -
@rvdgeer do you have pm2 installed and configured? Oh looked above, you do. Well I have noticed even though logs show command error, it still works, I think it’s because node doesn’t surround commands in quotes.
