auto-booting but no modules (no warning with config file)

[sdetweil]

@will23110 from the console of your pi, or over ssh, run

npm start dev

from the MagicMirror folder
open the console tab, and look for errors, red text

usually when a module crashes, the mirror will go black

[will23110]

so I’ve run that and in the top right corner it says 3 errors and 2 warnings, I just don’t understand why it would do this overnight, it was working perfectly last night

[sdetweil]

@will23110 select the console tab to scroll the list

no idea, something changed

[will23110]

yeah, shame though I’d only just perfected it ahah, so the three errors are

• Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token (translator.js:1)
• Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token (loader.js:1
• Uncaught ReferenceError: Translator is not defined (misn.js:452)
  at Object.init (main.js:425)
  at main.js:580
  and then a couple of security warning that I can probably (hopefully) fix.

@will23110 said in auto-booting but no modules (no warning with config file):

Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token (translator.js:1)
Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token (loader.js:1

so, I would use some editor to look at these two files in

MagicMirror/js

line 1 of each is a comment (/* */)

maybe there was an error on the memory card when u rebooted…

Uncaught ReferenceError: Translator is not defined (misn.js:452)

this error is because of the prior error on the translator.js file

[will23110]

so I’ve got translator.js open, it says at the top

/* global config, vendor, MM, Module */
/* MagicMirror
 * Module and file loaders.
 * Etc...

should it be

 /* global config, vendor, MM, Module */
 /* MagicMirror*/
 /* Module and file loaders.*/
 /* Etc...

[will23110]

but in the repository for MagicMirror on github its the same, how do I quickly check for differences instead of having to go through the entire thing and comparing to another file

[sdetweil]

@will23110 no, 1st is ok

[sdetweil]

@will23110 compare, i do not know

[will23110]

Okay, I’ll check through it and correct anything that may be wrong

[will23110]

so I had an idea to check through it fast, I copied the loader.js info off of github and paste it into the find (ctrl+f) window, the whole document is highlighted, meaning there are no errors… could it be something else??

this one bothers me, I can’t find that file anywhere (misn.js), unless that is acut/paste/typo

based on the fact that files look ok, I would suggest doing an fsck (file system check) against the memory card

you will probably have to move it to another system to do that… windows cannot do it

[will23110]

how would I go about doing that on a pi?

@will23110 a google search says

[will23110]

what do you mean by misn.js, I will have a look at that site, thanks

what do you mean by misn.js

the error u posted says

Uncaught ReferenceError: Translator is not defined (misn.js:452)

i see a use of Translator in main.js
but cannot find a misn.js

[will23110]

oh, typo haha, it’s supposed to say main.js, there are no errors in that one either, sorry about that

[sdetweil]

@will23110 ok

[will23110]

wait so from the site you gave me, if I run

sudo touch /forcefsck; sudo reboot

will that break it?

[sdetweil]

@will23110 no, that forces the fsck on next boot, then reboots
