Calendar appears to be fetching the last calendar in the list multiple times.

  • V

    Hello,

    I have 4 calendars configured, under the default MM2 calendar module

    		{
			module: 'calendar',
			header: 'Calendar',
			position: 'top_left',
			config: {
				maxTitleLength: 50,
				maximumEntries: 20,
				wrapEvents: true,
				fadePoint: 0.8,
				colored: true,
				dateFormat: 'ddd MMM Do hh:mma',
				dateEndFormat: 'ddd MMM Do hh:mma',
				timeFormat: 'absolute',
				useRelativeDates: true,
				columns: false,
				urgency: 0,
				titleReplace: {
					'USA: ': ''
					},
				calendars: [
						{
							symbol: 'trash-o',
							color: '#CCCC00',
							showLocation: false,
							url: 'webcal://recollect.a.ssl.fastly.net/api/places/**masked**/events.en-US.ics'
						},
						{
							symbol: 'calendar',
							color: '#9CECC4',
							showLocation: true,
							url: 'webcal://p64-calendars.icloud.com/published/2/**masked**'
						},
						{
							symbol: 'calendar-o',
							color: '#A2D7FF',
							showLocation: false,
							url: 'webcal://ical.mac.com/ical/US32Holidays.ics'
						},
						{
							symbol: '',
							color: '#FF6600',
							showLocation: false,
							url: 'webcal://p42-calendars.icloud.com/published/2/**masked**--sxGM'
						},
					],
				excludedEvents: []
			}
		},

    And when the calendars are refreshed it appears that whatever the last one in the config list is gets loaded an extra time for each one of the other calendars configured is this normal/expected behavior?

    @vvrangler the fix i proposed has been accepted and is part of the develop branch, if you would like to use it

    to get there

    if you did manual install

    cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout develop
git pull

    restart MagicMirror as normal

    if you used my install script

    cd ~/MagicMirror
git fetch origin develop:develop
git checkout develop

    restart MagicMirror as normal

    @sdetweil Yes, the number of events look to be good, and I’m not really seeing any issues because of this, it’s just something that I noticed in the logs.

    @vvrangler yeh, it seems to luck out currently

    the top code starts the fetcher and a starts a timer for each calendar entry
    the fetcher ALSO starts a timer, so if its never called again, it still returns a refreshed list

    I changed it so the top code starts the fetcher for each calendar entry
    and let the fetcher handle its configured timer cycle

    The change definitely fixed the issue and everything looks good now during the subsequent polls, thank you again.

    I also have a couple of other calendar related issues that I’ve seen in the log, would it be best if I closed this topic and post a new one?
