Stopped and re-started npm… the npm start seems to generate a rolling log output (with some sensitive info), so I’ve selected what I think is relevant to the calendar for my reply. There are no errors/warning this time :)

Mostly looks ok, but the “use existing calendarfetcher for url:…” concerns me.

Still, I have an event upcoming soon that should be displaying in my 5 entries that isn’t.

Thanks

I can also see in pm2 logs:

0|MagicMir | [02.01.2024 10:11.33.120] [ERROR] Calendar Error. Could not fetch calendar:  https://my.cal.url TypeError: fetch failed

I wonder why.
Getting the calendar to show in the first place was achieved by changing my baikal calendar WebDAV authentication type to ‘basic’ and setting the same in the calendar module. I’ve confirmed this is still set.

@matt216 well the type error is the problem.
the calendar.module doesn’t recover after the error.

can you open an issue on the mm GitHub page, with that info

are there any errors above that?

matt216

@sdetweil None that I can see.

pi@magicmirror:~/.pm2/logs $ tail --lines=1000 MagicMirror-error.log | grep calendar

[02.01.2024 10:31.53.769] [ERROR] Calendar Error. Could not fetch calendar:  https://my.cal.url TypeError: fetch failed

Will open an issue. Thanks for assisting. I might have a play with a couple of the other calendar modules there are out there…

sdetweil

@matt216 generally there is a more specific error earlier in the log.

if you clear it
pm2 flush
the restart
pm2 restart all

you will have the smallest output to look at

matt216

@sdetweil Can’t see any calendar errors in error.log now! :grinning_squinting_face:
But still my new events are not showing up when they should…

@matt216 thank you… i posted a an additional grep thru the log to the issue

sdetweil

@matt216 cant see any errors… well not with the grep search you do

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1

wait, til UI up with no issues, or no updates
