Maybe this can help some users.

The following will search all *.js files in the modules folder for the reference of request. You can then just enter the module folders and install as per @sdetweil suggestion above. The same can be done for the other missing modules.

grep -r -E '('request')' ~/MagicMirror/modules/*/*.js

or search for multiple problem modules

grep -r -E '('request') | ('valid-url')' ~/MagicMirror/modules/*/*.js

@KristjanESPERANTO My 20pence/cents worth, I vote to make this the official page. We need to move with the times and the old page is outdated.

@BKeyport X11 does not work for me, hence I use Wayfire. As Labwc is supposed to be the newer lighter compositor, I would like to get that to work for me.

@ankonaskiff17 SO I believe a few things have changed since. Some deprecated modules they got rid off i.e. request and some others. Modules that use them would be a problem. My suggestion would be to use Sam’s upgrade script which would check each module directory and fixup the missing dependencies for you.

@karsten13 So I have been tinkering with the MMM-Hue module a bit and have replaced jQuery which seems to invoke XMLHttpRequest, with node-fetch, albeit the older version (2.6.1) of node-fetch, but it now returns data without requiring a certificate and the use of https.

@BKeyport As an IT person I would say we need to move with the times. Being stuck in the old is never good. Have you tagged your modules as per the stats gathered on it?

@ember1205 Easiest way for me was installing the Adguard plugin on Chrome

@cowboysdude This is so funny…:face_with_tears_of_joy:

@landaisbenj I have seen this error before. It comes from installing the latest version of node-fetch whereas the module uses an older version of node-fetch. The latest version is an ES module and must be import’d instead of require’d in the node_helper.

@BKeyport Gives users an indication that they are outdated and may not be supported. My point is being stuck in the past is never a good idea unless you want your project to “die”
