@louise the actual url has to be in quotes

you should never post something with personal info, that works… change some characters at least

louise

@sdetweil Thanks, I suppose I should of that of the privacy thing.

sdetweil

@louise and any messages from where u start mm?

npm start or pm2

if pm2 the pm2 logs --lines=50

i edited the cal url in both posts

sdetweil

@louise also you were missing a close brace after the url definition, which needs quotes

the config.js rules

the thing to the left of : does not need quotes
the thing to the RIGHT of : does NOT need quotes IF it is trye or false, or a number 10, 123.4567… or { or [
otherwise if the thing to the right of contains letter (http://… fred, 124somefile) then it must be enclosed in quotes,
single of double doesn’t matter, long as both ends are the same

@sdetweil pm2
I copied the sample calendar module, it works. Then the ONLY thing I changed is the google link, didn’t touch any of the brackets or commas or quotations etc. Still didn’t work. Don’t get it, it worked yesterday.

The weather current and forecast work as does the clock, just not the calendar.

Yesterday, the clock and weather didn’t work but the calendar did. I copied from my calendar bak file in the config.js file and it doesn’t work.

@louise what does “doesn’t” work mean

cal shows no events?
or MM shows black screen?

also, still waiting for the messages from npm start time
you should see something like this (your url of course)

 Create new calendarfetcher for url: http://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics - Interval: 300000

and

Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 10 events.

No events showed up. npm start time is the same as it was. No I never saw the message, but I was wasn’t looking.

With the US Holidays, that comes up. When I put in the google calendar info I get the npm run config:check which says the json can’t parse

sdetweil

@louise show the messages,.,

npm start >somefile.txt
wait til no events
ctrl-c

then u can edit somefile.txt to look at the messages emitted by startup

search for ‘fetcher’

@louise
and did you put the quotes around it as i mentioned before, and be careful, the default line has }
way out at the end… don’t delete that…

the npm run will tell you the line where it detect the problem, but the line that CAUSED the problem is usually the line before

on your prior post of the config, I noticed a missing } as well as the quotes around the URL…

see your prior post, which I edited
