electron-rebuild and MagicMirror v2.18 (and more)

sdetweil

the author of the magicmirror rebuild tool said he will not fix it for this module.

as the module is in archived status

I generally suggest the same as bugsoutnet…The best way would be to use one of the other PIR modules.
But i also found an solution which worked in my setup. I used the sdetweil script to install the current version of MagicMirror.
In the module directory of MMM-PIR-Sensor you need to delete package-lock.json and the node_modules folder:

rm -rf ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor/node_modules
rm -rf ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor/package-lock.json

Then you need to replace the whole content of package.json file with the following one that uses the MagicMirror-rebuild library of bugsounet…

	  "postinstall": "node_modules/.bin/MagicMirror-rebuild"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "onoff": "latest",

  }
}

Then you need to run npm install

npm install

@wishmaster270 did u try the upgrade script?

it does delete both file and folder and then npm install

@sdetweil Hi, i did a fresh install and added the module manually. I do not use MMM-PIR-Sensor but some other users had the same problem with MMM-Gestures (which i do not use either). Did a clean install of MagicMirror on a development Pi with your script and added modules manually.

Awesome. It really works. I had the same issue and it was really frustrating, until i stumbled upon this solution. Great my PIR-sensor module was revived. I just followed the steps mentioned and voila…it has come back to life. Thanks a ton, it is selfless gentlemen like yourself who keep this world going. Kudos.

Hoping someone can help. Having the same issue with MMM-Reddit since updating to MM v2.20.0 . Spent a couple days scouring this as well as other forums for a fix. I already tried everything from this thread. Still getting the error below, no matter what I try. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MM v2.20.0
Node v16.17.1
-Node-gyp v9.2.0
-NPM v8.15.0

This is the code I get for any rebuild or npm install…etc:

Python executable “python2” in the PATH
npm ERR! gyp verb which failed Error: not found: python2

looks like u don’t have python version 2 installed

do python -v

Dresch360

@sdetweil Thanks Sam! Ughh…I feel pretty silly that I didn’t realize that. Was looking at the least obvious issue. Works perfectly after installing Python 2. Thanks again!

@bugsounet said in electron-rebuild and MagicMirror v2.18 (and more):

npm i magicmirror-rebuild

Thank you very much :-)

it works for me with another module “MMM-Buttons”, I’m so happy!
do you have to run npm i magicmirror-rebuild every time in each module folder?

@Lusbueb
Usually, No.
Only the magic mirror module which use “native node module” needs it. but it would be hard to distinguish by a normal user.
