Pimatic 0.9.44a test results

---

This post is for documenting the errors and glitches I found with the pimatic test version 0.9.44-a.

I’ve installed it using

$ mkdir pimatic-test && cd pimatic-test
$ npm install pimatic@test
$ cp node_modules/pimatic/config_default.json config.json
$ node node_modules/pimatic/pimatic.js

I will be updating this post consecutively, but maybe @mwittig can already have a look at it?

First error when starting is:

This is because the ppm.js is not executable. So the fix is

$ chmod 755 node_modules/pimatic/ppm.js

Next error:

Seems that ppm.js can’t be started: env: node\r: No such file or directory
This might be because I am testing on a Mac using nvm (Node Version Manager), but I don’t see these problems on the original version. I’ve checked the differences between 0.9.42 (release) and the test version, but there are none. So my workaround was to copy ppm.js from the release. I don’t know why but this works.

UPDATE: I tried the GitHub version of pimatic and there was no problem starting ppm.js. So this might be no problem for the next version.

Now a more obvious error:

08:49:58.628 [pimatic] Loading plugin: "pimatic-mobile-frontend" (0.9.12)
coffee-cache: compiling coffee-script file "mobile-frontend.coffee"...Done
08:49:58.881 [pimatic] Cannot find module 'i18n'

pimatic-mobile-frontend version 0.9.12 was installed which is using the wrong dependency.

So this was my fix:

$ rm -r node_modules/pimatic-mobile-frontend/
$ npm install pimatic-mobile-frontend@test

I found the problem here. Its the linefeed problem with dos files.

My install so far(with copy of settings from production folder):

cd ~
mkdir pimatic-test && cd pimatic-test
cp ../pimatic-app/config.json config.json
npm install pimatic-ping@0.9.5
npm install pimatic-sysinfo@0.9.4
npm install bluetooth-hci-socket
npm install pimatic-mobile-frontend@test
npm install pimatic@test
chmod 755 node_modules/pimatic/ppm.js
dos2unix node_modules/pimatic/ppm.js
sudo node node_modules/pimatic/pimatic.js

// update 7: finally got it working, with help of https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/4462/trouble-with-fresh-installation/51

Not sure but isn’t there an ‘Actions’-Button missing below the ‘then’ condition?:

Thanks

Short Answer: No

@michael-rudek Thanks, i’m bloody new to this stuff
