OS

Raspberry Pi OS (Linux magicmirror 6.6.31+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.31-1+rpt1 (2024-05-29) aarch64 GNU/Linux)

NodeJS Version

v22.9.0

MagicMirror² Version

2.29.0

Remote Control Version

2.3.8

Did you try using just Remote Control alone with MM?

• [X] I have and the error still happening

Description

Brand new install of Magic Mirror using manual install on a Raspberry Pi 5.

MagicMirror and MMM-Remote-Control working flawlessly. Frontend of MagicMirror can be accessed from another machine (http://IP-of-MM:8080). Frontend of MMM-Remote-Control can be accessed from another machine (http://IP-of-MM:8080/remote.html).

However: I can not access the API endpoint. A normal GET request to http://IP-of-MM:8080/api/docs gets answered with Cannot GET /api/docs

Expected behavior

API request should be completed successfully.

Current behavior

Error message saying Cannot GET /api/docs

Possible solution

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Start MM
2. Wait until everything starts
3. Try to open "http://IP-of-MM:8080/api/docs"

Log

Nothing in log files regarding this issue. I started 'npm logs mm' and kept watching the logs as I send above request. No new entries.

This module needs changes to work with new MagicMirror² version v2.29.0. A PR is on the way but I don't know who is maintaining this project at the moment ...

[Schnabulation]

Interesting, thank you for reply.

Regarding the aforementioned PR: the module works perfectly fine on my setup - only the API does not work. Stock install of the module btw.

[khassel]

the api works with the PR, tested this ...

[khassel]

the module works perfectly fine on my setup

not on my side, e.g. http://localhost:8080/remote.html#update-menu is always empty and http://localhost:8080/remote.html#module-control-menu is missing ...

[Jopyth]

@ezeholz has done most of the maintenance for a long time. But if they are not available I can merge the PRs needed as well.

So #307 should fix the module and the API? Because I just saw #292 has also been open for a very long time, and am not sure if that would still be needed as well.

[khassel]

So https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/pull/307 should fix the module and the API?

I did some cleanup/changes in the core mm for v2.29.0 which breaks this module at some points, https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/pull/307 is the fix for this.

With this fix the /api/docs shows the swagger site (whithout the fix you get the error described above), but I cannot say if the other PR is still needed.

[ambarusa]

Having the same issue. @khassel's update is working well in my setup

[martbrad11]

I've just installed MM on PC running Linux Mint (Ubuntu version) and have the same problem. I've tried to update MMM_Remote-Control but it tells me I'm up to date. I can see the remote web page but API does not connect. Is there a way I can fix this?

[ambarusa]

Clone this repo and branch temporarily:

https://github.com/khassel/MMM-Remote-Control/tree/mm_fixes

[ezeholz]

So it's safe to merge? I cannot test it anymore, as I don't own a MM instalation anymore.

Sorry for the absence, a lot happened on my side.

[Snille]

I can also confirm that @khassel:s PR works.

[ezeholz]

Please confirm that it's actually working, khassel PR merged

[Snille]

I can confirm, it works now. Thank you.
