@sdetweil :-) Sure thing. I will remove it tonight.

@sdetweil Thanks Sam. Yeah, I will watch it and maybe adjust the timeout value again.

Hi,

My mirror just crashed with the following error.

[18.01.2022 16:51.36.944] [INFO]  Checking git for module: default
[18.01.2022 17:01.44.573] [ERROR] Tue Jan 18 2022 17:01:43 GMT+0200 (South Africa Standard Time) - WatchDog: Heartbeat timeout. Frontend might have crashed. Exit now.

Anybody else had this issue? I do not have module called default in my config.js. The only default I have anywhere is the default modules folder.

Any ideas?

@bhepler Wow. I am properly impressed. Very nice! How do I place my order? ;-)

@cheapdad Well done

@mumblebaj This is the new module I created. Does not require https.

https://github.com/mumblebaj/MMM-PhilipsHue.git

I am sure this will need to be changes once they enforce the headers stuff but for now it will work just fine.

@millis No problem. Just mark the post as solved.

@millis You can place it anywhere in the module [ ] block, not outside it like you have done.

@millis You only need this piece of the module config code:

{
            module: "MMM-DailyPokemon",
            position: "top_center",
            config: {
                updateInterval: 600000,
                minPoke: 4,
                maxPoke: 151,
                grayscale: true,
                showType: true,
                language: "en",
                genera: true,
                gbaMode: true,
                nameSize: 26,
                flavorText: false
            }
        }

This needs to go into the module block. You can paste it between the alert and clock modules.

modules: [
		{
			module: "alert",
		},		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar"
		},
{
            module: "MMM-DailyPokemon",
            position: "top_center",
            config: {
                updateInterval: 600000,
                minPoke: 4,
                maxPoke: 151,
                grayscale: true,
                showType: true,
                language: "en",
                genera: true,
                gbaMode: true,
                nameSize: 26,
                flavorText: false
            }
        },
		{
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left"
		},

Then remove the incorrect code you pasted at the bottom of the file.

@millis said in MMM-DailyPokemon Issue:

var config = {
modules: [
{
module: “MMM-DailyPokemon”,
position: “top_center”,
config: {
updateInterval: 600000,
minPoke: 4,
maxPoke: 151,
grayscale: true,
showType: true,
language: “en”,
genera: true,
gbaMode: true,
nameSize: 26,
flavorText: false
}
}
]

This is your problem. Everything between the square brackets need to be within the previous modules collection i.e. between the previous square brackets “[ ]”.

@millis said in MMM-DailyPokemon Issue:

[14.01.2022 16:55.01.943] [ERROR] WARNING! Could not validate config file. Starting with default configuration. Please correct syntax errors at or above this line: /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js:111
var config = {

Ok. Post the content of config.js. Once you have pasted the code here, select it all and click the code (</>) button.

@millis You broke config.js. Can you restore it to what it was and then add your MMM-DailyPokemon module. Start the mirror and post the logs. If you start the mirror with pm2 then you can do pm2 logs --lines 50 and post the output. If you use npm then post the output from the terminal where you run npm start

@crimel Yes, should be package.json. Must have been an autocorrect. :)

@davidsung Does seem to be related to the quotes. Also, please always remove your API Keys prior to posting. ;-)

@oberfragger said in MMM 2.18 - NPM? Electron? Silly lifecycle? no MMM:

18 verbose node v14.18.3
19 verbose npm v6.14.15

You may want to update your node and npm versions.

@rikko14 Just a final hint. The only module that seems to have a problem is MMM-soccer. You can check that module to see if it has a package.json. If it does then DO NOT run the npm init -y. However, looking at the MMM-soccer module on Github it has been updated to use node-fetch. You probably need to do a git pull && npm install in the MMM-soccer module folder to get the latest version of the module.

Then start the mirror with pm2. pm2 start mm or however you start it with pm2. then pm2 stop and then pm2 log --lines 100 and post the log output if you are still experiencing the black screen.

@rikko14 You are missing the steps the sdeitwel provided. If the pacskage.json exists then you DO NOT run the npm init -y command. You must only run the npm install request command. You would or should have noticed that MMM-MovieListings already has request installed.

@rikko14 From this output, their is one module that uses the request module that is not listed. In that module folder you now need to go and install request using the steps that Sam provided you.

@rikko14 So now you now that 2 modules require the module request. Please run the following scripts so we can determine which modules do not have request installed and post the output.

find ~/MagicMirror/modules/* -type d -name request

@rikko14 Can you run the following command and post the output please?

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

Or post the pm2 logs again? There must be a module that is missing a module as per what Sam advised previously. Let us see if we can find the module that is broken.
