Error with Outlook Calendar

[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

[sdetweil]

I’ve added a troubleshooting topic

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/13770/2-13-calendar-fix-for-office-365-users

[sdetweil]

@bokchok ok, looking thru your calendar, it has a custom timezone named ‘TZID:Eastern Standard Time 1’

none of the calendar code knows how to handle this… we don’t lookup the time to find the real name.
so you will get random results. the code I added looks up the windows timezone name in the
unicode.org supported cross reference table to get the IANA tz name the code can handle…

the bug u found was that I ‘assumed’ the name would always be found… but not true…

[bokchok]

@sdetweil Good to know! I’m glad this was helpful.
