      I am on the develop branch

      The entire start is at 10:54:23

      [2025-01-27 10:54:23.207] [LOG] Starting MagicMirror: v2.31.0-develop

      I’m not sure when Ext3Agenda starts as there is no log item specific to that afaik - but I assume it’s sometime around:

      [2025-01-27 10:54:26.290] [LOG] No helper found for module: MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda.

      so Ext3 start is no earlier than 10:54:23 and the first broadcast was at 10:55:44 - this is much less than the 5 minutes I have manually configured for waitFetch.

      (in other words, I am waiting much longer than should be needed, but it does not work unless I manually refresh)

      The log at 11:01 is the second broadcast of the same calendar

      I am only pulling 5 days of data and not broadcasting past events, 23 is correct.

      module: "calendar",
      hiddenOnStartup: true,
      position: "top_left",
      config: {
          broadcastEvents: true,
          broadcastPastEvents: false,
          maximumNumberOfDays: 5,
          maximumEntries: 100,
          fetchInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000,
          calendars: [
          {
              name: "family",
              URL: "<redacted>"
          }
          ]
      }
      
      module: "MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda",
      position: "top_left",
      config: {
          showMiniMonthCalendar: false,
          firstDayOfWeek: 1,
          startDayIndex: 0,
          endDayIndex: 0,
          calendarSet: ['family'],
          waitFetch: 5 * 60 * 1000,
          refreshInterval: 7 * 60 * 1000,
      }

        @emlowe ok, in the case of modules that only have a browser component ( no node helper) then
        starting application message is the start time

        another use just resolved the same issue w waitfetch, but he had multiple calendars

          Further strangeness.

          Let’s say I change waitFetch to something that shouldn’t work (eg 5 seconds) - clearly, this doesn’t work since the first broadcast is after a minute or so.

          But if I manually refresh the browser as soon as I see the log entry about the broadcast - everything appears just fine.

          So for example, setting

          waitFetch: 5 * 1000,
          refreshInterval: 2 * 60 * 1000,
          

          Nothing will appear in the calendar - not at start (expected) and not after 2 mins (1 refresh), or 4 mins, or 10 mins or however long I want to wait - nothing.

          But if I manually refresh - everything appears right away as long as I refresh after the broadcast log line

            @MMRIZE will have to advise. this is the depth of my knowledge

            i work on the default calendar
            well, one thing
            when you refresh the page, all the modules web components are reloaded. the default cal sends a request to its node helper to get events. and it has them already, so sends immediately

            and of course because the default cal will be shown, its shows with the correct events, right??

              Yea, I believe the default calender is working and broadcasting correctly - not sure exactly where Ext3Agenda is having problems - but I have a few ideas I plan to try out.

                Bah! I have to apologize - I was on the develop branch but apparently, I was some commits behind and I think I was missing the commit that fixed the “clipping” problem

                I made sure to update to the head of develop and things are working much better now. So it seems all along it has been the known issue

                Doh!

                  Actually have to take this back. Currently testing running in server only mode and a browser so I can see the console easier

                  When I see in the log this line:

                  [2025-01-27 13:52:24.893] [INFO] Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 22 events from <redacted>

                  I can say that modules are NOT getting any calendar notifications, despite this log entry. They are not broadcast. I added some code to Ext3Agenda to print out when it gets any notification, and it never gets any CAL items. (I see it getting DOM_CREATED, DOM_UPDATED, etc,etc)

                  I see in the console log the following:

                  sorting events count=0
                  slicing events total maxcount=100

                  which seems odd given that the helper reported broadcasting 22 events. Those items repeat in the console log , but it’s always sorting events count=0

                  UNTIL I refresh the browser - Now I see the Ext3Agenda module getting CALENDER_EVENTS and sorting events count=22

                    I guess I should have run some tests with just the standard calendar module.

                    Now just using the standard calendar module - and it just says “Loading” despite having also printed “Broadcasting 22 events from”

                      @emlowe as you updated to the develop branch, did you also redo the npm run install-mm

                        I did yes - so the current test results are this

                        The calendar did eventually appear - but it took quite some time - I wasn’t watching, so I don’t know when exactly - I’ll test again. But it was several minutes after the log output of “broadcasting 22 events”
