Error: Cannot find module 'request'

[pixel-lake]

Thank you, the updated version works as intended !

Thanks :)

I have this running on my mirror, but it's years since I've done a fresh install. Probably the request npm module was available through MagicMirror base dependencies but might have been removed from them since.

Looks like there's no package.json for modules. There's a chance that this could be fixed by adding "request" to https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/package.json dependencies. But there's probably a reason why it was removed so a more proper fix would be migrating away from it on my module as well.

Not promising anything, but I might take a look at this at some point :)

Hi,

I have same issue as pixel-lake. Here is my errorcode:

I (really my friend @viljamip) got this module working with this tip! Here is how:

1. Stop magicmirror if running.

2. Edit package.json file with your preferred editor. You can find it in the root of magicmirror. Find "dependencies" and add request like this:

"dependencies": {

            "colors": "^1.4.0",
            "console-stamp": "^3.0.4",
            "digest-fetch": "^1.2.1",
            "eslint": "^8.12.0",
            "express": "^4.17.3",
            "express-ipfilter": "^1.2.0",
            "feedme": "^2.0.2",
            "helmet": "^5.0.2",
            "iconv-lite": "^0.6.3",
            "luxon": "^1.21.3",
            "module-alias": "^2.2.2",
            "moment": "^2.29.2",
            "node-fetch": "^2.6.7",
            "node-ical": "^0.15.1",
            "socket.io": "^4.4.1",
            "request": "^2.88.2"                 <-----------------------------

Save the file.

3. Install request.

npm install request

4. Start magicmirror and it should work now.

It seems that request is deprecated. Here is more info about that #request/request#3142

It also seems that magicmirror uses now Node-fetch instead.

Thank you @ZakarFin for this module!

Updated the code to use node-fetch instead. Let me know if you have further issues with this.
