Wouldn’t that also be a good idea for the core? It would probably make sense to use the same strategy for the core as for the modules.

@Jalibu I just wanted to point you to this conversation. Thanks for your feedback! :-)

I’m thinking about adding a check for it to my project.

but something else will over the months.

“something else” will change the package-lock.json? How can that happen?

and we have to retrain all our users.

This is certainly a considerable disadvantage compared to approach 1.

Why npm ci doesn’t help? It doesn’t change the package-lock.json.

What is the best approach with the package-lock.json for modules?

The most common approach I see is that the package-lock.json is included in the repository and npm install is listed in the installation instructions. This has the disadvantage that the package-lock.json is sometimes changed during the installation and the user then has later problems doing a normal git pull to update the module.

I see two approaches that prevent this problem and wanted to know if you know of any others and what advantages or disadvantages you see in these approaches.

1. Remove package-lock.json from the repository (by adding it to .gitignore).

2. Use npm ci instead of npm install.

@vita10gy Nice :-) Don’t forget to add it to the module list.

This module is abandoned. In issue 14 you can read that the API stopped working. Try MMM-Flights instead.

I still can’t see a new version of gpsoauth or gkeepapi. In the issue they seem only talking about a workaround.

I’ve created a PR to fix this :-)

@uok825 said in Black Screen when news doesnt fetch:

“version”: “2.24.0”,
Node v16.20.2

Node 16 has reached End of Life. Please update node to version 20 and MM to 2.26.0 and check if the problem still occurs.

Got to the modules directory:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules

Delete the “old” MMM-GoogleTasks directory:
rm -r MMM-GoogleTasks

Clone the fork:
git clone https://github.com/spydersoft-consulting/MMM-GoogleTasks

Change to the module directory:
cd MMM-GoogleTasks

Install dependencies:
npm install

🙂

@rrslssr According to issue 3, the API now requires a key and not even the developer has received one.

@mumblebaj Thanks for the hint! I’ve just updated the state description. But unfortunately it is still abandoned. The maintainer no longer responds to issues and PRs.

@mumblebaj Nice! Now all your modules have proper screenshots and tags. Thanks! :-)

@MMRIZE You are talking about MMM-Glance, right? I changed it to “Archived” :-)

Many changes have been made to the official module list since my last overview on December 12. I have created a new overview for these changes. Since not everyone regularly follows the changes to the list, such a list may be helpful for some of you.

This is the second post like this. I don’t know yet if I will create further in the future and even maybe automate the process a bit. I am quite up to date with the changes as I am working on a new unofficial module list which is based on the official list.

These are the changes from 12th December 2023 to 29th January 2024. The list may be incomplete, as some parts required manual work.

Help request

Can someone with an Meteoblue API key tell whether module MMM-meteoblueCurrent still works?

@mumblebaj Thank you for asking! 🙂 Since I want to redesign a few things on the inside, I have not looked for any further discussion for now.

My current plan is roughly this: First make the scripts more efficient (they are currently very storage and time consuming) and then automate the whole process using GitHub hooks and actions. I’ll try to accomplish this in the next few months 🚀

Once I’ve done that, I’ll look for the discussion about the official list.

On this occasion: What is the status of MMM-PGA? 😁 It would be nice if you put at least one of the screenshots into the repository and add keywords in the package.json.

@svenpisa said:

Do I understand correctly that I may only have to wait until the module works or do I have to make additional settings?

I haven’t looked at the code in detail, but that could be possible, yes. Of course, it may still be the case that something needs to be adjusted in gkeepapi and/or MMM-GoogleKeep.

The best thing would probably be to look at alternatives.

Can I see the status somewhere when it should work again?

If a gpsoauth version newer than 1.0.4 appears here, we can try again. You can also follow this discussion: https://github.com/kiwiz/gkeepapi/issues/81.

I have tried to get the module to run, but have also failed. It seems to me that there is a problem with gkeepapi. A simple query with gkeepapi already fails.

There seems to be a workaround with docker (see https://github.com/kiwiz/gkeepapi/issues/81), but I didn’t tested that. In the issue discussion the maintainer of gkeepapi mentioned waiting for a new release of gpsoauth. Then MMM-GoogleKeep might work again without any tinkering 🙂

There are some forks of this module, which one do you use? According to my knowledge, the following is the most up-to-date: https://github.com/spydersoft-consulting/MMM-GoogleTasks

Run git remote -v in the module’s directory to find out.
