Error with Outlook Calendar

[sdetweil]

@bokchok can you show me/send the ics file.

are you on version 2.13, or the test iCal version?

I fixed that bug in the node-ical version

[bokchok]

@sdetweil I’m on 2.13. I went ahead and set you the ics file

[sdetweil]

@bokchok thanks, will look at it

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil can u verify on 2.13, cause the fix for that is in 2.13

grep version ~/MagicMirror/package.json

and how did u get there? install or upgrade?

[Yunalescar]

Had same issues.
had a long search and found the soultion:

get latest version of ical.js and copy/write it to ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/node-ical.ical.js

Link : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jens-maus/node-ical/master/ical.js

now it works like a charm ;)

[bokchok]

@sdetweil I was having trouble with upgrading, so I saved config.js in a separate directory and did a clean install of MagicMirror two days ago. Everything should be up to date

[bokchok]

@Yunalescar Worked! Thank you sir

[sdetweil]

@bokchok but. please, lets fix that… I updated both the node-ical libs and the ical.js libs with the same code to handle windows timezones…

we ship node-ical with MM… (new in this release)

and I checked the latest 0.12.1

[sdetweil]

@bokchok @Yunalescar can u look at the package.json in

~/MagicMirror/node_modules/node-ical/package.json

what is the version number? should be 0.12.1 (which has the fix for the error) 0.12.0 does not have the fix…

[bokchok]

@sdetweil The version nmber is 0.12.0
When was 0.12.1 released?

[sdetweil]

@bokchok 10 days ago. mm was 2 days ago

[bokchok]

@sdetweil Weird. I thought I updated after then. I’ll do another clean install and see what happens

[sdetweil]

@bokchok the other thing is, the error means that some cal entry is using a timezone which is not registered in the authorized windows timezone names

[sdetweil]

@bokchok i just checked on an install I did thursday

grep version MagicMirror/node_modules/node-ical/package.json
“version”: “0.12.1”,

ls MagicMirror/node_modules/node-ical/package.json -laF
-rw-r–r-- 1 pi pi 2159 Oct 1 08:24 MagicMirror/node_modules/node-ical/package.json

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil @bokchok the develop version probably would have pulled in 0.12.0 sometime last week…

but your ics presented other timezone problems for another fix I am working on, so I fixed that too

[bokchok]

@sdetweil Did a clean install, for some reason I have 0.12.0 again. I’m not getting the error, though…

[Yunalescar]

@sdetweil said in Error with Outlook Calendar:

~/MagicMirror/node_modules/node-ical/package.json

its “node-ical@0.12.0”

so with the installcall i get an old version? did a fresh install just 12 hours ago and its still 0.12.0

[sdetweil]

@Yunalescar weird

[sdetweil]

ok, looks like it’s my fault. I forgot to update the line in package.json here,
so it only downloads 0.12.0

why I get 0.12.1 I don’t know…
I will fix my install and upgrade scripts, but
will have to write a troubleshooting post for this

thanks guys
