Calendar not updating

[sdetweil]

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

should NOT see the timeout error

[matt216]

@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…?

[sdetweil]

@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...

@sdetweil yikes, 14000 lines of calendar entries included in this one!
Any steer on what I’m looking for? Loads of personal info, so I won’t send over if that’s ok (no offence)

[sdetweil]

@matt216 well … just let you know… I don’t LOOK at any of that info… only the cal entry dates and processing… I only match by title… and I NEVER share…
(we just added the cal url to output as some were confused about which calendar was sending what entries… more debug info )

start of the content

[04.01.2024 11:14.45.590] [DEBUG] There are 5 calendar entries.
[04.01.2024 11:14.45.591] [DEBUG] Processing entry...
[04.01.2024 11:14.45.594] [DEBUG] Event:

then thru the next Event: is all one event, with its recurring events if any

I’m interested in the events that you says don’t show up…

one thing you can do is use the configured url to get the ics file
to make sure the calendar provider is providing the entry

if its in the ics , but not in the output, then this is a new parser problem… and I want to see the ics entry to test. all can be sent thru mail or private chat (altho chat posts are limited in size)

curl -sL thaturl >someicsfile.txt

ics file is just text
can u find that entry
can u find it in the debug output

[sdetweil]

@matt216 also, could you check

ip addr

and disable the IP v6 if present.
in desktop, menu , preferences, pi config , network settings. may have to reboot

[sdetweil]

@matt216 also another user having trouble… his url is a shared cal , the other person owns it, but has given the secret url to the spouse for MM cal usage

are any of the cals shared like this?

@sdetweil Hi Sam.
A newly created event is showing up in the debug logs, but not on the mirror display:

@sdetweil done

@sdetweil Not entirely sure what you mean here. This is a calendar that I own. It’s a locally hosted container service. Several devices read/write to it. It is a baikal server. I have seen several forum posts that suggest using the caldav URL adding ?export to the end to generate the ics file.
