@sdetweil OK; cool.“workaround” is OK for me :-)

so

debug: true,

AND
debugging:true,

both in your module?

Again: Thanks a LOT.
Ralf

@sdetweil OK; thanks.
this is regarding the init error.
Yesterday night birthdaylist disappeared again.
And my initial finding is at least reproducable:
Birthdaylist disappears from physical screen (connected via HDMI) and from VNC remote session.
BUT: In webbrowser it disappears NOT:

If I do a reload in Webbrowser - instantly the birthdaylist appears on screen as well as in VNC session.

console log shows:
birthdaylist received a system notification: MODULE_DOM_UPDATED

I had assumed that I can find all of the console logs in the logfiles in $HOME/.pm2/logs but this is not true.

Any idea regarding this discrepancy?

Thanks again a LOT for your kind and great support!
Warmest regards,
Ralf

(sorry for the rubbish Browser - rendering but I’m not able (or too stupid) to scale this correctly)

Stefan, Jürgen and Chrizzy are shown - which is correct, as far as I understand the parameters.

@sdetweil indeed - should have done this at the begin, sorry:

// Geburtstagsliste 
// Gelesen wird: ~/MagicMirror/modules/birthdaylist/data/bdl.csv

		{ 
	        
	        module: "birthdaylist",
	        disabled: false,
	        position:'top_right',  
	        config: {
						dimmEntries: false,  // true: dims entries and the associated symbol when the date has expired. false: dont display entries and the associated symbol when the date has expired.
						initialLoadDelay: 0, // How many seconds to wait on a fresh start up.
						updateDelay: 5,      // How many seconds after midnight before a refresh
						currentMonthOnly: false,  // will show birthdays for the current month only if true
						maxEntries: 3,	     // maximum entries to show, default is all
						dateFormat: '',	     // date format for birthday (default is none), could be 'Do' for 'Sep 12th'
						ageFormat:'',	     // some format string for the persons age, '[ n ]'  n will be replace by age value
						withMonth: true ,    // then true, add the month display as part of the date field, 
						debug:true,
	                }
		},

warmest regards,
Ralf

interesting enough the error shows up first time as I reported - the list is always the same - literally unchanged until first day of installation…

Ahh…
in the code listing it shows up a difference …
“10/6/95, 2. Hochzeitstag”
with an additional space and a dot…
is this a problem?
I can change the taxt and delete space if nacessary (althoug I mean I’ve read that you are truncing entries …
But the dot could be eliminated if useful.

Ralf

No, obviously NOT…
I’ve now added “sendNotifications: true” to config.
Mirror reloads and your module starts without this error message.

@sdetweil Yeah…
You’re right.
I’ve set this - my type of clock is set to “both” because I like sunset and day of week information.

This causes an error in your module…

birthdaylist.js:398 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'startsWith')
    at Class.getBD_DAY_from_Date (birthdaylist.js:398:9)

Not sure if this corresponds with the displaySeconds parameter but seen this error first time…

Regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil clock seconds are enabled, as far as I know …
at least I haven’t found a parameter to enable/disable seconds
and second hand is shown …
