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

@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...

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?

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

[will23110]

oh I see, I’ll try it now

[will23110]

I tried it and it did nothing…

[will23110]

so there was one issue in each .js file, I ended up pasting the entire .js repository back in from the GitHub files, that seems it fixed it.

for people having this issue when it black screens, run

cd MagicMirror
npm start dev

that starts up magic mirror with dev options, go to the second tab, there will be files that have errors or security issues, that’s what it was for mine anyway… It’s fixed now, thanks a lot for helping.
