      Hi all,

      I’ve read a few of the search results on this. Struggling with my calendar not updating. It loads, just doesn’t update with new events. Feels like it’s done just the initial sync/load of events but won’t include any subsequent events added.
      pm2 restart or even a pi reboot doesn’t resolve.
      Calendar config:

      {
      module: "calendar",
      header: "calendar",
      position: "top_left",
      config: {
      		fetchInterval: 120000,
      		timeFormat: 'absolute',
      		calendars: [
      				{
      				url: 'https://my.cal.url/dav.php/calendars/user/default?export',
      					auth: 	{
      							user: 'user',
      							pass: 'pass',
      							method: 'basic'
      							}
      				}
      				],
      		maximumEntries: 5
      		}
      },
      
      

      Baikal container hosted locally, if that’s any help.
      Possibly a caching issue…?
      Cheers,
      matt

          Hi Sam. My test is to add a new event that would show up within the next 5 events i.e. in a couple of hours time. My expectation is that the mirror would refresh the events it displays every 2 minutes and my new event should show up. Not happening.

                @matt216 said in Calendar not updating:

                pi@magicmirror:~ $ npm start

                you need to be IN the MagicMirrror folder

                cd MagicMirror
                npm start

                      @sdetweil yep in between my previous 2 posts I thought I’d upgrade MagicMirror and it now won’t load with electron error.
                      Will install and get back to you.
                      Thanks

                            [02.01.2024 09:17.12.085] [INFO]  Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 380 events from https://my.cal.url.
                            

                            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?

                                  @sdetweil None that I can see.

                                  pi@magicmirror:~/.pm2/logs $ tail --lines=1000 MagicMirror-error.log | grep calendar
                                  [02.01.2024 10:29.43.758] [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…

                                    @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

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

                                            can u do this

                                            pm2 stop all
                                            cd ~/MagicMirror
