pimatic@0.9.45

---

I am planning to release a new version of pimatic which will contain a new version of SQLite to provide compatbility with node v10.

Eventhough, I have tested the upgrade of database files to the new version, please make a backup of youe database before updating. Please also note, the update procedure may take sevral minutes as the SQLlite package needs to built from scratch in some cases.

EDIT:

• 20190213, V0.9.45

  • Upgraded to sqlite3@4.0.4 which is required to support node v10
  • Updated dependencies

Hi,
update work.

done.
can I now install the latest node version from 29-Jan-2019 (node-v10.15.1-linux-armv7l.tar.gz) ?

btw. why is node v10 so important for pimatic?

thank you!

That should work now, but let me double-check this for you. I’ll kepp you posted

btw. why is node v10 so important for pimatic?

As node v4 is longer maintained and node v10 is the current stable version with long term support (LTS). It is part of our excercise to keep the pimatic runtime environment up-to-date.

Success too

That’s great, but actually pimatic is not completely compatible with node > 8 as it uses the npm version from node 4. Some plugins rely on the old directory structure. So if we want to move completely to node 10 this must be changed too. Am I right, @mwittig ?

I recently updated to 0.9.45 and everything seems to work, but only with my old node.js V 4.4.6. Then I update to a newer node.js version - I tried V8.15.0, V10.15.0 and V11.10.0. But in all cases the startup of pimatic hangs at the first log entry. Switching bach to V4.4.6 it works again.

I did the upgrade from 0.9.42 to 0.9.45 this morning on an RPi 3 running Raspbian lite Jessie and so far everything functions at this moment.
Did the others upgrade on Jessie or on Stretch or other OS variants?

@harry-van-der-wolf I also had 0.9.42 before. Also RPI 3 and Jessie. As I said, only node.js is the problem. Which version do you have installed?

I have node version 4.8.3 (doing a “node --version”).
Edit: This is the distro stable version for Debian 8

Update V0.9.44 -> V0.9.45

I think it works. I’ll check details in the next days.

Stretch

As mentioned: upgraded to 0.9.45 this morning from 0.9.42 on Raspbian Lite Jessie.

I wanted to wait for a new, good functioning version of pimatic. Which is now here

So now I just upgraded from Jessie to Stretch using this guide (many of those everywhere on the web).

Pimatic is still working fine. No change/modification/correction/whatever necessary.

Has anybody got running it with node Version greater 4.x? And if yes, how.

If plugins are solely installed using pimatic to manage plugins it should be fine as pimatic uses a derivate of npm@2 (aka ppm) internally. Having this said, there still may be issues with some plugins.
