Default Calendar Not Loading Events After New MM Update

doogy_rev

I have just updated to the latest version and have the same issue of the Calendar not loading.

I have tried the above suggestions but still not able to load gmail calendars

I did use the script to update MM and all dependancies

Any help appreciated

Thanks

@doogy_rev can you show me the ~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

Maybe send it to me
Same userid at gmail

It is two part process, right?

Hi Sam,

Log sent to your gmail

Thanks

@doogy_rev it looks like you tried it manually, git pull, and the latest code was already present

local version 2.35.0 already same as master 2.35.0

The upgrade by default will not upgrade over the existing version

To fix, rerun and change the parm from apply to force

ok, so I know enough to be dangerous, what is the command I should be committing?

sdetweil

@doogy_rev if you copy paste the second upgrade command from my script GitHub repo, you will see the word

apply

At the end

Change that to

force

And hit enter

doogy_rev

@sdetweil That worked, thanks very much.

sdetweil

@doogy_rev awesome… thanks for the feedback

My calendar also stopped showing events (from my Google calendar).

Running

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" force

fixed it for me. It worked like ‘Magic’ - pun intended.

Thank you!!

sdetweil

@Athlon ok, that means the manual upgrade failed. but pulled the new code

git pull && npm run install-mm

means the git pull encountered a problem, and the npm run didn’t happen,m
but there is no log…

can you send me the ~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log so I can see what the problem might have been

same userid at gmail, thanks…

Athlon

@sdetweil

sent…

@Athlon replied

for others, this was a node version mismatch that cause the npm run install-mm to fail,
leaving the new source installed, but the dependencies NOT installed.

so, something will fail… calendar for you

Reviving this… I’m having the same issues and got a little lost in the steps in the replies.

@angeliKITTYx you are on node 22.19, and we need 22.21.1

If you use my scripted install or update then it will take care of that.

Because you did part of the install (git pull), the new version code is loaded
But not its dependencies, so MagicMirror won’t run correctly

You could run my upgrade script with force instead of apply
As it won’t let you install/upgrade over the current level.

See
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

@sdetweil thanks for the quick reply. I did the first line under the Update section and got the same results. All of the modules are working except CalEXT3 - it shows, but no events populate and I get all of those “not a function” errors.

I also tried running the second command in that section and got the same results. I’m probably missing a step somewhere…

@angeliKITTYx correct. It says doing test run , no changes will be made

The doc says this is a 2 part update process
Test, advise any issues , no changes
The second part, Do

The second line to copy ends with the word

apply

Which I want you to change to

force

@angeliKITTYx another fun time

Do

sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 22.21.1
hash -r
node -v

If it says 22.21.1
Then do

cd ~/MagicMirror 
npm run install-mm

If it says successful then

npm run start:x11
