MMM-WatchDog Restart Loop #8

Closed Veldrovive closed 4 years ago

Veldrovive commented 5 years ago

When MMM-WatchDog is included and the position prop for modules are not set, WatchDog triggers a shutdown and PM2 restarts MM which then causes a restart loop. This seems to be due to the restart the Page-Selector triggers when it finds modules that don't have positions.

Hi! Has this issuen been solved? Or is a workaround available? I'm running into the same issue, that MM constantly restarts a few times and then stops completely. I also have a few modules which have no position prop (e.g. MMM-PIR-Sensor, alert, MMM-Button, MMM-Podcast2, just to name a few). It stops because Pageselector obviously deletes the config.js. in the config folder then I find instead a file called config.page-selector.temp.js.

I have not found a fix for this issue and I fear there is no easy fix since the modules are well and truly at odds in the way they function. Increasing the timeout might help by making the interval between pings short enough that the restart is not detected as a crash. The more feasible workaround is to simply define a default position for all modules. That way the mirror never restarts itself in the first place.

Thanks for replying! I'll try the workaround you described.

Did that work for you? I just installed this module and am running into the same issue with Watchdog crashing after 10 minutes.

Unfortunately not. I am currently using a different page switcher module.

Sorry I never got back to you. I've mostly stopped development on this module and just check back in every once in a while to help. Since this issue is so old, I'm just going to close it.

If you still use the module and have a problem you can open a new issue. I have a few days where I can work some stuff out.
