Calendar issue with 2.7.1

  • D

    After updating to the latest version ( 2.7.1 ) from 2.6.0, one of my subscribed calendar feeds no longer works. It has worked fine in 2.6.0.

    Running on Raspberry Pi 3B - Raspbian Stretch. NodeJS version 9.11.2. Electron 3.0.13

    Currently, the calendar module shows “No upcoming events” for this calendar feed. I know there are items there because I’m subscribed on my laptop and iphone. This is a feed for our school calendar.

    In the error logs, I see the following:

    TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
    at eventDate (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/calendarfetcher.js:69:25)
    at /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/calendarfetcher.js:90:22

    at Object.onceWrapper (events.js:273:13)
    at Gunzip.emit (events.js:187:15)

    My calendar config is as follows:

    {
  module: "calendar",
  header: "School Calendar",
  position: "top_left",
  config: {
    wrapEvents: true,
    fade: false,
    timeFormat: 'absolute',
    dateFormat: 'ddd , MMM DD',
    getRelative: 0,
    urgency: 0,
    maxTitleLength: 25,
    maximumEntries: 10,
    calendars: [
      {
        symbol: "calendar",
        url: "https://www.ojrsd.com//site/handlers/icalfeed.ashx?MIID=11"
      }
    ]
  }
},

    Anyone else come across this issue?

    Hi Dommer,
    Quite similar with me. I have a fresh Raspberry installation on my Pi-3B, the only additional packages installed are vsftpd (FTP-tool) and xrdp (RDP-server to allow Windows Remote Desktop Connections). On this fresh installation I have installed MagicMirror² and default Weather- and News app are working fine receiving live data.
    For some reason the calendar app does not work and I get the same error message for the calendar module as you in my log-file:

    ./home/pi/.pm2/logs/MagicMirror-error.log

    ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.

    I reinstalled from scratch on another SD-card with the same result.

    @Dommer said in Calendar issue with 2.7.1:

    there is an event which does not have a start date and time. i looked thru changes to the calendarfetcher code, and cannot see any change to this line of code since before 2017.

    @drfukc this is the same problem as for @Dommer …
    if u can send me your calendar entry url, I can look at it to see which event is causing this problem…
    or u can uncomment the one line in mm/modules/default/calendar/calendarfetcher.js, line

    				if (event.type === "VEVENT") {
         // console.log("have event title="+event.summary);

    and restart the mirror

    you will see the event summary in the pm2 log

    Hi Sam,
    the calendar entry I use for testing is the standard URL:

    url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics"

    As advised by you I searched up-and-down my calendarfetcher.js in:
    /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/calendarfetcher.js

    I can find the following string: if (event.type === “VEVENT”) {
    But I cannot even find substring to uncomment such like this: console.log("have or event title or
    Hence there seems to be nothing to uncomment

    I rather believe my issue has something to do with to many Electron instances that kill several moduls.
    Maybe you have an idea for this:

    1. I boot up my raspberry 3b
    2. Execute ‘ps -a’ to check the running processes
    3. ‘ps -a’ returns ‘ps’ as the only running processes
    4. launching the mirror: ‘npm start &’
    5. the console tells me uncaught exception since EADDRINUSE is already in use:

    magicmirror@2.7.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
    sh run-start.sh

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
    1. Now I recheck my running processes and see *four instances of Electron. According to another thread it looks like I run two instances of MagicMirror in parallel, that have a conflict with each other and causing this EADDRINUSE message:
    PID TTY          TIME CMD

    @drfukc said in Calendar issue with 2.7.1:

    { Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:8080

    ok, then something ELSE on your system is using port 8080… maybe a web server?

    change the port number in mm/config/config.js to something else (8081 maybe)

    			if (event.type === "VEVENT") {
         // console.log("have event title="+event.summary);

    so, add the second line and then uncomment it… I must have added that fro debugging someone elses problem

    @sdetweil
    Thanks for your comment.
    First I changed the port as recommended in mm/config/config.js to 8081 and gave it a reboot.
    After reboot and logon I checked the network connections by sudo netstat -lnptu:

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo netstat -lnptu

    I am surprised to see Electron already listening on port 8081, though I have not started the MagicMirror.
    In the next step I launch Magic Mirror by calling: npm start &

    Unfortunately I see again a EADDRINUSE message (port 8081):

    While the mirror is running I execute again sudo netstat -lnptu and get:

    This is strange. The launch of the mirror npm start & tells me a multiple use of the port 8080 or 8081 (whatever it set in config.js) but netstat -lnptu does not know anything about a duplicate use.

    As advised I also added below line right after if (event.type === “VEVENT”) { in ftp://192.168.178.36/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/calendarfetcher.js

    console.log("have event title="+event.summary);

    Unfortunately the console outcome again is: “EADDRINUSE”

    @drfukc is mirror starting on boot with PM2?

    go to console and do

    pm2 list
    is something, get its name and pm2 stop name

    0
  • D

    Thanks for your advise. After launching the mirror I do a pm2 list with the following result:

    pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ pm2 list
+-------------------------------------------------------+
¦ Name        ¦ id ¦ mode ¦ status ¦ ? ¦ cpu ¦ memory   ¦
+-------------+----+------+--------+---+-----+----------¦
¦ MagicMirror ¦ 0  ¦ fork ¦ online ¦ 0 ¦ 0%  ¦ 2.5 MB   ¦
+-------------------------------------------------------+
 Use `pm2 show ` to get more details about an app

    With this information I stop the MagicMirror by the following command: pm2 stop 0

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 stop 0
[PM2] Applying action stopProcessId on app [0](ids: 0)
[PM2] [MagicMirror](0) ?

¦ MagicMirror ¦ 0  ¦ fork ¦ stopped ¦ 0 ¦ 0%  ¦ 0 B    ¦
+------------------------------------------------------+
Use `pm2 show ` to get more details about an app

    By surprise the running MagicMirror survives and I kill the Electron instance with kill
    After the MagicMirror instance is terminated I relaunch MagicMirror again with npm start &
    The funny thing is that the naughty EADDRINUSE message is gone by now, but the calendar is still not working:

    pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start &

    OK, as said above I have relaunched the mirror by npm start & and try to evaluate what is going on with pm2 list:

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 list
+------------------------------------------------------+
¦ Name        ¦ id ¦ mode ¦ status  ¦ ? ¦ cpu ¦ memory ¦
+-------------+----+------+---------+---+-----+--------¦
¦ MagicMirror ¦ 0  ¦ fork ¦ stopped ¦ 0 ¦ 0%  ¦ 0 B    ¦
+------------------------------------------------------+
 Use `pm2 show ` to get more details about an app

    It’s funny, pm2 list tells me that the Mirror has stopped, while it is still running, but I still do not recieve any Calendar updates.
    What is wrong here?
