Google Calendar not updating

[sdetweil]

@vanced54 ok, there is a debug tool in the /modules/default/calendar folder

edit the debug.js and put your url in the place of the one there

and then do

node debug.js

it should display events read from the calendar

[vanced54]

@sdetweil where do I do the node debug.js?

I tried it but doesn’t seem to work

I did edit the debug.js file with the same link.

[sdetweil]

@vanced54 you have to be in the MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar folder

[vanced54]

@sdetweil

It does find events. So that means the link is good I belive.

[sdetweil]

@vanced54 are the events in the future?

open the developers window on the mirror
using the ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard or npm start dev

then select the console tab, and scroll up… u can also filter to just the module
by putting part of the module name in the filter field ‘cal’ (no quotes) for example

@sdetweil

The events were in the past. Only 10 were there but it seems like that is what the max events were set to.

[sdetweil]

@vanced54 yeh, the calendar will not show events in the past… it will (with settings change) broadcast those as part of the calendar data to OTHER modules, which might use it… I have a module that uses the calendar broadcast, but not events in the past

[vanced54]

@sdetweil So what does that mean? Does that provide a clue as to why I’m not getting calendar events to show up?

[sdetweil]

@vanced54 no… cause the calendar shows them and THEN sends a message for others to use…

if the calendar doesn’t find any usable events, then there is nothing to send

[vanced54]

@sdetweil

So any other suggestions as to figure out what is going on?
