Problem with Google generated .ics link

@sdetweil said in Problem with Google generated .ics link:

curl -sL whatever_url >xxx.ics

What were you either expecting or hoping to see?
Looks like a bunch of my calendar entries in like csv (or similar) format.

I had earlier dropped link in MS Edge and it opened the Google calendar but in the MS Edge default calendar applet or whatever they call those bare bones apps

@ankonaskiff17

pick a
BEGIN:VEVENT
.
.
.
END:VEVENT

change whatever is personal, dont change the date info please

this is the format the calendar module passes to the parser…

its needs to be in a specific format

u don’t want a calendar tool to display it, we need to look at the raw text…

(I spent 8 months in there solving all kinds of problems., and with the parser too)

@sdetweil I’m not worried about personal stuff in this one so you got complete.

@ankonaskiff17 I know historically it would post my calendar info as a list, identical to the US Holiday link

sdetweil

@ankonaskiff17 ok, we need to see which one is causing the problem… so edit config.js and change loglevel like this

logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR","DEBUG"], // Add "DEBUG" for even more logging

then run MM like this

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile.txt

wait for cal to come up

ctrl-c to end MM

then examine someflle.txt

u may need to send me the file

same userid at gmail. I don’t share

sdetweil

@sdetweil Check your email

@sdetweil Sent another email. Do you want copy of log files referenced in terminal

ankonaskiff17

@ankonaskiff17 Also, this laptop of mine keeps dropping its wifi connection so bear that in mind, generally momentary but aggravating.

sdetweil

@ankonaskiff17 i think this dropping is power control…

there is a commandline to turn power control for wifi off

I have the same problem on a pi 0 2 w (one of 3)

ankonaskiff17

@sdetweil Every device in home is fine but laptop.
2nd HP I’ve had this happen to.

ankonaskiff17

@ankonaskiff17 I’m using VNC to access Pi. It’s just chugging along no wifi issues whatsoever

ankonaskiff17

@ankonaskiff17 My mistake starting over fresh

ankonaskiff17

@ankonaskiff17 I rebooted pi, MM launched did pm2 stop all,
got back to MM directory and did npm start and that is ugly. Line after line of the word NULL, then a mish mash of garbage tthen saw VEVENT related to holiday calendar but MM crashed in among all that.

@ankonaskiff17 @sdetweil check email for sample

@ankonaskiff17 @sdetweil
That Holiday calendar has a huge amount of garbage associated with it as an aside but if newest is at top its just a lot more of that null business.

Scroll down you get to that error associated with google calendar that one time then a ton of garbage associated with the holiday calendar.

sdetweil

@ankonaskiff17 weird… i don’t see that
