Calendar events showing on wrong day.

Coolie1101 · Nov 19, 2021, 1:20 PM

Hey @sdetweil, I am experiencing the same issue and made the changes as you motioned, but now I am getting an error for the calendar module, and the module is not loaded, if I revert the module loads and work as expected, any ideas?

Config Change

} else { 
								// if the timezones are the same, correct date if needed
//								if (event.start.tz === moment.tz.guess()) {
									// if the date hour is less than the offset
									if (24 - dh < Math.abs(dateoffset / 60)) {
										// apply the correction to the date/time back to right day
										date = new Date(date.getTime() + Math.abs(24 * 60) * 60000);
										// the duration was calculated way back at the top before we could correct the start time..
										// fix it for this event entry
										//duration = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
										Log.debug("new recurring date2 is " + date);
									}
//								}
							}
						} else {
							// not full day, but luxon can still screw up the date on the rule processing
							// we need to correct the date to get back to the right event for
							if (dateoffset < 0) {
								// if the date hour is less than the offset
								if (dh < Math.abs(dateoffset / 60)) {
									// Reduce the time by the offset:
									// Apply the correction to the date/time to get it UTC relative
									date = new Date(date.getTime() - Math.abs(nowOffset) * 60000);
									// the duration was calculated way back at the top before we could correct the start time..
									// fix it for this event entry
									//duration = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
									Log.debug("new recurring date1 is " + date);
								}
							} else {

you don’t change config, you are changing the module source code, right?

(if using pm2, stop instance first, pm2 stop all)
npm start >somefile.txt

then ctrl-c after MM shows cal info (if any, or error)

then examine somefile.txt

@coolie1101 do you have the current version of the vevent? as that one expired in 2019, and has no repeating rule

as there is no timezone associated with that time. and I am CST

I can share that calendar with you if it makes it easier for you to test.

@sdetweil said in Calendar events showing on wrong day.:

npm start >somefile.txt

What is this suppose to do?, seems something is missing from the command.

sdetweil · Nov 19, 2021, 1:53 PM

@coolie1101 it directs the output of the command (npm start) to a file (somefile.txt)

this is normal file output redirection, same as on windows

the normal MM startup output looks like this
