MMM-Calendar not seem to load .ics

@sdetweil
This seem to work like a charm, thank you for fixing this.

Now…when I want to add 2 more url’s I get a new error:
For each of the new url. Both from the same domain.
is it possible to have a hacky line for that as well?

[ERROR] Calendar Error. Could not fetch calendar:  https://www.xxxxxxxx/ical/**url**/Calendar.ics RangeError: Invalid time value

@Dennis-010 this sounds like an ics data format problem

change this line in config.js

logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR"],

to

logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR","DEBUG"],

then start MM like this

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start > somefile.txt 2>&1

wait 15 seconds
then in the same window as where you did npm start do
ctrl-c
and then examine the somefile.txt to see where that error is…

i’d like to see the ics file entry for that event
npm start

@sdetweil
I don’t think I understand what you’re asking.
What event you want me to find?

sdetweil · Oct 23, 2023, 9:54 PM

@Dennis-010 the one that throws the error in the somefile.txt, then look it up in the ICS file

Dennis-010 · Oct 23, 2023, 10:21 PM

@sdetweil
Think I found it, will check back tomorrow.

sdetweil · Oct 23, 2023, 10:41 PM

@Dennis-010 awesome, will need you to run it again with one debugging change

in calendarfetchutils.js
change this

					Log.debug(`event.recurrences: ${event.recurrences}`);

to this

			Log.debug("event.recurrences:" +JSON.stringify(event.recurrences));

but I really think its THIS

DTSTART;TZID="Amsterdam, Belgrade, Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, Madrid, Paris, Prague, Stockholm":20210415T190000
DTEND;TZID="Amsterdam, Belgrade, Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, Madrid, Paris, Prague, Stockholm":20210415T210000

the until is outside the event window start/end (04/15, this is 04/18) 
RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=20210418T170000Z

AND the event is in the past 2021
but the code tried to find recurrences THIS year

Tue Oct 24 2023 00:16:22 GMT+0200 (Midden-Europese zomertijd) and Tue Oct 22 2024 23:59:59 GMT+0200 (M>
[24.10.2023 00:16.22.051] [DEBUG] Title: xxx xxxx, with dates: [null,null,null,null]  <----- and returned junk.. those are bad dates.

sdetweil · Oct 23, 2023, 11:09 PM

@Dennis-010 try this

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar
cp calendarfetcherutils.js  utils.js
nano calendarfetcherutils.js

insert this line

						futureLocal = futureMoment.toDate(); // future
					}
					if(moment(endDate)>=moment(pastLocal)){ //<--- this line (approx line 283) 

						Log.debug(`Search for recurring events between: ${pastLocal} and ${futureLocal}`);
						const dates = rule.between(pastLocal, futureLocal, true, limitFunction);

and this line

							i
									description: description
								});
							}
						} // < ----- this line (approx line 454)
					}

this adds a check if the event end is after the calculated start (for include past events thats a year back) , then process the event, else skip it…

let me know

Dennis-010 · Oct 24, 2023, 10:57 PM

@sdetweil
This did the trick, thank you very much.

You are a genius!!
