Problem with Google generated .ics link

[ankonaskiff17]

@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

my event looks like this

[ankonaskiff17]

@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 i replied to email

[ankonaskiff17]

@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

[ankonaskiff17]

@sdetweil All that garbage associated with Holiday calendar is being pulled from the CalendarLabs site but since MM is loading it in list format it just gets lost in the ether?

[sdetweil]

@ankonaskiff17 no idea, still debugging

[sdetweil]

@ankonaskiff17 ok, can recreate… was testing on 2.18 … which didn’t fail…

so that points to the node-ical lib which was changed for this release…
