Enhancement: Update Script

[Tom-Hirschberger]

Hi Sam,

i used your update script to update to the latest version.
I got a error for a lot of my used modules during "npm install" step in the module folder saying:

processing for module MMM-GPIO-Notifications please wait
----------------------------------
npm ERR! code EJSONPARSE
npm ERR! path /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GPIO-Notifications/package.json
npm ERR! JSON.parse Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near "...fications/#readme\"\n}\n"
npm ERR! JSON.parse Failed to parse JSON data.
npm ERR! JSON.parse Note: package.json must be actual JSON, not just JavaScript.

processing complete for module MMM-GPIO-Notifications

I found an article saying that

npm cache clean --force

may fix the problem. It worked in my case.

It may be worth adding it to the script directly.

hm.. that makes no sense

I'll test w that module..

[sdetweil]

ok, this is because of this in your package.json

  "devDependencies": {},

there is a real problem with npm install --omit=dev
it does ALL the work of checking the dev dependencies even tho you said no, it just doesn't write them out..

but that produces a lot of errors and warnings that don't apply..

so, the only way to prevent it is to remove the devDependencies list, I change the name to devxDependencies, then nm doesn't see it.. .. let me look at the code I JUST added for this problem

[sdetweil]

my bug, thanks for the issue.. fixed..

try again, with force instead of apply

[Tom-Hirschberger]

No need to thank me, thanks for fixing it.

I needed to roll back the update as I do have a additional problem with my GPIO module (electron-rebuild).

I will try your fix tomorrow.

[sdetweil]

electron-rebuild worked fine today.., ah i see MagicMirror-rebuild worked...

really need to put it in the base and then call it from there..

see how I fixed this

Just tried the fixed upgrader. Now everything works well, no errors (except the electron-rebuild problem).

I already changed to the postinstall.sh of your MMM-Buttons module after our last conversation in the forum but even with your scripts i can not get it running at the moment.
