Issue getting module to appear

[basedongauntlet]

Hello, I am having trouble getting my anylist list to appear on screen. The Magic Mirror program is not giving any errors as far as I can tell.

I used the following command to get the files into the "modules" folder:

git clone https://github.com/codetheweb/MMM-AnyList.git

And added the following to config.js:

{ module: "MMM-AnyList", position: "bottom_right", config: { email: "myemail", password: "mypassword", list: "Grocery List", } },

Note: I have MagicMirror2 2.12.0 (2020-07-01) I verified my email and password by logging in through web browser and on my phone. The list name as it appears in the app is "Grocery List" and it is a shared list with another user.

Thank you in advance for any help.

What does the server output look like? Does the module get loaded by the server and just not display on the frontend?

The output should be something like

[2020-07-15 19:08:32.284] [LOG]    Module helper loaded: MMM-AnyList
[2020-07-15 19:08:32.614] [LOG]    Initializing new module helper ...

The only output from the server that I can see is:

[2020-07-19 19:01:00.776] [LOG] No helper found for module: MMM-AnyList.

Is there something else in the AnyList module directory that should be installed?

Thank you, Sam

Yes, that sounds like a server issue. Did you run npm i in MMM-AnyList after cloning?

[basedongauntlet]

I hadn't, but I just did. Module still does not appear and server output is the same that I stated previously.

[basedongauntlet]

Update: after running npm i I realized my syntax was incorrect in the config.js

I changed "MMM-AnyList" to "MMM-Anylist" and now the server output is what you stated it should be.

I still do not see the module though.

[codetheweb]

That's strange, MMM-AnyList should be correct.

What does tree -L 2 give when inside your modules/ folder?

Here is what it gives me:

Ok, I think the issue might be in how you cloned it. The folder MMM-Anylist should be called MMM-AnyList (hence why it sort of worked when you changed the name). I would suggest completely deleting the MMM-Anylist folder, running git clone https://github.com/codetheweb/MMM-AnyList.git to re-clone it, run npm i inside the module folder, and try again.

[basedongauntlet]

Got it! I re-cloned it as you suggested, and also updated the list name in the config file to "Grocery List" as it appears in the app instead of "Grocery_List". Thank you so much for the help!

Glad you got it working.
