@qistoph Sound good and I like it. Now we can set by electronOptions in configuration file, same logic as you say.

The point to resolved is how can tell to MagicMirror read a specific file of configuration. Now is set in hardcoded. With than can be create multiples instances of configuration files into tests suite (tests directory) and run test to these. Added this task in Trello.

Update and news:

Thanks to @qistoph we have 2 improvement

• Now every commit introduced previous is checked by tests suite in Travis.
• Added a new test case https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/pull/648/files

Also, @qistoph and I suggest have two side for test.

• The backend application and node_helpers
• The frontend application running in electron, running client side javascript.

For this last is possible use Spectron … but… is needed will set nodeIntegration to true. One idea is check a enviroment variable and if present set this variable to true.

For other way, work with serveronly and get test from client side from there.

If some have comments and ideas from this is welcome.

PS: I have a sample of use spectron https://github.com/roramirez/MagicMirror/commit/c99581c15b4cb008b2800f40ecbaf9c9862c7ceb

@morozgrafix Thanks!, Is already merged :)

@ostfilinchen So stranger. What is for you memory version?

Note: The last stable release of pm2 is 2.2.1.

I recomend use the last version stable. In my case, the 2.1.5, work fine the restart action.

Hi, this is simple. I found in custom.css the comment

Changes to this files will be ignored by GIT.

Is already added in gitignore file. if I modified this appear in your changes to stage on git. Well, is really not ignore. Suggestions?

@ostfilinchen What pm2 version are using?. There are other process to start control of MagicMirror?

Please, send some log lines of pm2 and what show you
pm2 status

@ostfilinchen That version don’t have the feature for use pm2 for process control by installer script. What is your problem in 2.1.0?

@binderth said in Problems restarting MagicMirror (Port 8080 in use ...):

Do I need pm2?

Is optional. If you installed by script and choice. After that you can configurate mannually.

Ups, there a bug for pm2 config. I pushed a fix
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/pull/640

The restart is work for me. Are you try stop/start?
