Calendar not updating

matt216 · Jan 19, 2024, 8:53 AM

@sdetweil Hi Sam.
For a test I created an event in my calendar called test111 and verified server sync across several devices. This event starts in a few hours time so should be at the top of the events displayed on the mirror. I then stopped and started pm2.

Here are the magicmirror debug logs for the event:

[19.01.2024 08:41.23.286] [DEBUG] Event:

But in dev tools the event does not appear in the before filter events or events to process console sections which, i think, would indicate it’s not being parsed through to the UI…?

For comparison, if it helps, an event that is being parsed through looks like this in the logs (with a couple of bits redacted for privacy):

Thanks again.

@matt216 interesting

time to fall back to the prior parser

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install node-ical@0.16.1

matt216 · Jan 19, 2024, 3:08 PM

@sdetweil said in Calendar not updating:

npm install node-ical@0.16.1

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm install node-ical@0.16.1

up to date in 11s

196 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

Done. Same result - event which should display is seen in the pm2 logs, but not in the UI events.

@matt216 I sent you a message here in chat with a link to another test version of the calendar parser file…

@sdetweil Hi Sam. Thank you. Still no joy.
Here is what is displayed on my mirror:

Yet here is what is in my calendar (as shown on my iphone):

You can see multiple events missing, but I can’t figure out any pattern as to what shows and what does not.
I added in your calendarfetcherutils.js and restarted. Same behavior. The logs show the mirror is seeing the ‘house viewing PB’ events, for example, but it’s not showing up at all in dev tools or on the display.

@matt216 I sent you a link to a new utils file in chat here. it adds some more debug, including dumping the list of events just before send, which would show in the same place as the normal debug

matt216 · Jan 24, 2024, 11:33 AM

@sdetweil hi Sam. I can’t see the chat message with the utils file. Just the parser file. Would you send again please?

sdetweil · Jan 24, 2024, 12:33 PM

@matt216 hm. I just checked the chat message and the link is to the utils file
and I checked the file and it’s the utils file

For anyone following…

Issue still persists. https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/issues/3380 has been opened.

Symptoms:
Calendar events that would be expected to be displayed on the calendar module are not. pm2 restart and full OS reboot does not resolve. I am using a baikal caldav server, FYI, which other devices have no trouble.

Troubleshooting:
We can see in the magicmirror logs that the events from the ics file are being received by the calendarfetcher but they are not being shown in events to process in the UI. I cannot see any pattern as to which events are affected.

I’ve tried this with a fresh install of magicmirror and I’ve also tried my main magicmirror with a fresh nextcloud calendar. Same behavior.

I’ll update if we find a solution.
Cheers.

@matt216 and I thought we confirmed the events WERE parsed and part of the collection ‘sent’ to the front end. but apparently not received…
