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

will23110

So I turned off my mirror last night as per usual and turned it back on this morning to find that the modules aren’t loading, I don’t have a notification saying that I had an error with the config.js folder, the thing autoboots then shows absolutely nothing, I am running the latest version, I ran npm audit which showed 7 low, 1 medium, 1 high, so I ran npm audit fix, now I only have 5 low… but it still isn’t working… Any suggestions where to look or what to potentially do that doesn’t involve starting again??

@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.

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...

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

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?
