after the npm start &

press enter… you should get the prompt back, and can do any command

add this to your node module start function

  start: function() {
    socketTestpython=this;
    console.log(this.name + " node_helper started")    // < ---- add this

should see this in terminal window

MMM-Testpython node_helper started

i do

@emrhssla i cut/pasted your code to create your module, added it to config.js
and it performs as expected…

i get in developers console

hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~hello~    MMM-Testpython.js:62
 Socket recevied : hello                                        MMM-Testpython.js:71

and in terminal window

notification : TEST

config entry

{
  module: "MMM-Testpython",
  disabled: false,
  position: "middle",
  config:{
    
  }
},

@emrhssla ok, so you are installing a clone of MM… its ok, do that all the time.

after the git clone, then u do npm install, right?

he has copied the node_modules folder into his repo… u don’t want that…

so, go to the folder

/home/pi/Desktop/BeautyMirrorTEST

and do

rm -rf node_modules
npm install

then try the

npm start dev &

and have him remove the node_modules folder from his git repo
and from all the modules which have a node_modules folder…
and the vendor folder too

the platforms are different, you cannot copy the binary runtimes

@emrhssla what is the error?

open a terminal window or ssh window

do

npm start dev &

node_helper output will show up in the terminal window

then on the mirror UI, developers window
select the console tab

note that the filenames are CASE sensitive
so you code should be in

mm/modules/MMM-TestPython

@drfukc said in Calendar issue with 2.7.1:

{ Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:8080

ok, then something ELSE on your system is using port 8080… maybe a web server?

change the port number in mm/config/config.js to something else (8081 maybe)

			if (event.type === "VEVENT") {
         // console.log("have event title="+event.summary);

so, add the second line and then uncomment it… I must have added that fro debugging someone elses problem

@Myst

sudo apt get install npm

then

npm install -g npm 

@naktah u need to put that in your logon profile

@Myst after the git pull, u need to run npm install in the mm folder
