Module clock_info not found?

[HaLo2FrEeEk]

I'm trying to make my own clock face. Everything was going fine until I tried to require("clock_info").load(), when I upload I get an error that "Module clock_info not found". I'm certain it has something to do with dependencies, but I can't figure out how to set them for an app that I'm making straight from the IDE (rather than with the App Loader).

I have my main h2fclock.app.js, then I have h2fclock.info:

{
  "id": "h2fclock",
  "name": "H2F Clock",
  "type": "clock",
  "src": "h2fclock.app.js",
  "version": "0.1",
  "tags": "clock,clkinfo",
  "files": "h2fclock.info,h2fclock.app.js",
  "data": "h2fclock.json"
}

And h2fclock.json:

{"dependencies":{"clock_info":"module"}}

I'm not sure what else to try. The clock works otherwise, and I could get the steps and battery in other ways, I just want to do it "right"...and have the icons. Is there something special I need to do to set dependencies in the IDE? It doesn't complain about the require("locale") part...

Hi!

You need to install that module from the app loader beforehand: https://espruino.github.io/BangleApps/?id=clock_info

I think it should work when you do that :)

It's not included in the firmware, or the modules folder for that matter.

Once you start installing your clock face app via app loader it will make sure to pull clock_info module in.

Also check these if you haven't seen them yet:

I think I was just getting confused by the error and thinking it wasn't working. The IDE gives the error no matter what, it seems, but the watch did already have the clock_info module, I could run it from the REPL.

In any event, there was no actual issue, it was working and I was just not paying enough attention :|

Yes it's known that the IDE says missing module even if it's there (not just for clock_info). I don't remember why, I think Gordon elaborated at some point.

I think it's due to the fact that it's not one of the built in modules, so the IDE flags it even though it is present. If it wasn't present, you'd probably get some runtime errors... But I'm not really certain on that. There's a way to change the module source to be all modules, but that is now enabled by default, so it shouldn't matter.

Yes, the IDE only knows what modules the watch has based on what process.env.MODULES reports - and that only lists built-in modules, not those in Storage.

The Bangle doesn't really know directly what modules it has - process.env.MODULES could list all the files in Storage that don't have any dots in them and add them to the modules list, but it's not ideal
