      @matt216 yes, it was a momentary delay, which caused the timeout… trying to see why the catch() block didn’t

        @matt216 can u try updating modules/default/calendar/calendarfetcher.js like this
        replace lines 58-84 with this . also added this to the issue

        		try {  /// new code here     // this will be the new line 58 
        
        		fetch(url, { headers: headers, agent: httpsAgent })
        			.then(NodeHelper.checkFetchStatus)
        			.then((response) => response.text())
        			.then((responseData) => {
        				let data = [];
        
        				try {
        					data = ical.parseICS(responseData);
        					Log.debug(`parsed data=${JSON.stringify(data)}`);
        					events = CalendarFetcherUtils.filterEvents(data, {
        						excludedEvents,
        						includePastEvents,
        						maximumEntries,
        						maximumNumberOfDays
        					});
        				} catch (error) {
        					fetchFailedCallback(this, error);
        					scheduleTimer();
        					return;
        				}
        				this.broadcastEvents();
        				scheduleTimer();
        			})
        			.catch((error) => {
        				fetchFailedCallback(this, error);
        				scheduleTimer();
        			});
        		}    // new code here =========
        		catch(error){
                             console.error( "fetch for calendar url" +url + "failed error="+error.code);
                            fetchFailedCallback(this, error);
                            scheduleTimer();
        		}   // end new code =====

          @sdetweil Doesn’t like that - mirror won’t load. Got to pick up my little boy now, so reverted back (mirror loads ok again). Will try again and look at logs.

              @sdetweil can you tell I’m not a developer…?!

              Ok, I’ve replaced the whole block, then pm2 stop all, cd ~/MagicMirror, npm start…

              Mirror starts but still no new calendar events are showing where I would expect to be. Interestingly I can see that edits to existing events that I’ve made are showing up on the mirror, so there is some communication. Just no new events are being picked up.

              Thanks again,
              Matt

                By existing and new events I mean with reference to the point I added the calendar server to the calendar module. That first initial sync (if that’s the right word) of the .ics file.

                  @matt216 and what do you see in the place where you npm start?

                  should NOT see the timeout error

                    @sdetweil I do not see a timeout, no. The most unusual log entry related to the calendar is
                    [04.01.2024 16:39.21.257] [LOG] Use existing calendarfetcher for url: https://my.cal.url

                    That “existing” might imply something…?

                      @matt216 not an error… says ’ we created a fecther() at the start’… and we found it and are reusing it… just informational

                      now… lets turn on more debug

                      in the config.js

                      change

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

                      loglevel like that (just hit enter after the commas and before the ]

                      then add the // debug line
                      then remove the leading //

                      just makes it easier later to turn off debug by adding the // (comment it out)

                      then in MagicMirror folder again do

                      npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1
                      
                      wait til you think it should have updated...
                      
                      then ctrl-q
                      
                      and then look at the somefile.txt or send it to me
                      same user id at gmail 
                      
                      (I added most of the debug output to work on calendar problems) 
                      
                      then u can comment out "DEBUG" again
                      
                      we did change the calendar parser version this release, to fix a couple bugs I added code for, and a big change on the repeating rule handler...
