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

      With the maximumEntries I currently have events showing several days in the future. When I am adding events to test this, I add the event to start just a few hours in the future so that it should show within the 5 events.

          @sdetweil Updated to 20. This now shows calendar entries all the way to early May but the test event that starts at 20:00 this evening does not show. There are actually lots of events over the next few days that are not showing.

            @matt216 ok, lets add some debugging , then we can see what is received in the UI module and what is processed for display (after filtering)

            ~/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/calendar.js

            about line 219

            		const events = this.createEventList(true);
		Log.log("events to process="+JSON.stringify(events))  // add this line 
		const wrapper = document.createElement("table");

            and around line 582

            		for (const calendarUrl in this.calendarData) {
			const calendar = this.calendarData[calendarUrl];
			Log.log("before filter events="+JSON.stringify(calendar))  // add this line
			let remainingEntries = this.maximumEntriesForUrl(calendarUrl);

            then in the browser developers window (ctrl-shift-i to open) select the console tab,
            add cal to the filter field

            you will see these two blocks

            before filter events=[{"title":"Henry swim at Y","startDate":"1705156800000","endDate":"1705159200000","fullDayEvent":false,"recurringEvent":true,"class":"","firstYear":2024,"location":false,"geo":false,"description":false},{"title":"Henry swim at Y","startDate":"1705761600000","endDate":"1705764000000","fullDayEvent":false,"recurringEvent":true,"class":"","firstYear":2024,"location":false,"geo":false,"description":false},{"title":"Henry swim at Y","startDate":"1706366400000","endDate":"1706368800000","fullDayEvent":false,"recurringEvent":true,"class":"","firstYear":2024,"location":false,"geo":false,"description":false},{"title":"Henry swim at Y","startDate":"1706971200000","endDate":"1706973600000","fullDayEvent":false,"recurringEvent":true,"class":"","firstYear":2024,"location":false,"geo":false,"description":false},{"title":"Henry swim at

            and then

            events to process=[{"title":"Henry swim at Y","startDate":"1705156800000","endDate":"1705159200000","fullDayEvent":false,"recurringEvent":true,"class":"","firstYear":2024,"location":false,"geo":false,"description":false,"url":"http://localhost:8090/modules/default/calendar/JUSTONE.ICS","today":false,"dayBeforeYesterday":false,"yesterday":false,"tomorrow":true,"dayAfterTomorrow":false},{"title":"Henry swim at Y","startDate":"1705761600000","endDate":"1705764000000","fullDayEvent":false,"recurringEvent":true,"class":"","firstYear":2024,"location":false,"geo":false,"description":false,"url":"http://localhost:8090/modules/default/calendar/JUSTONE.IC

              @matt216 the before filter is what was sent from the parser
              the events to process is what will be shown, limited to maximumEntries in length

                  @matt216 you can also use this web site

                  https://codebeautify.org/jsonvalidator?/jsonvalidate

                  to paste in the data (from [ to ]) and then push the format button (in pink) to make it more readable, ctrl-f will allow you to search for the entry you are looking for

                    @sdetweil good tip, thanks.

                    Little update - I put maximumEntries back to 5 and all my events showed up! But then I added another event, pm2 restart and they disappeared again :weary_face:

                    We’re getting closer! I think you’re on to something with the maximumEntries effect. And also handling between back and front end.

                    I’ll have a go with editing calendar.js this weekend and report back.

                    Thanks

                      @sdetweil Hi Sam.
                      The before filter section is not showing the events that are missing. So not sent from the parser…?
                      The events to process section reflects what is seen in the before filter section.

                      Over the weekend the calendar looked good, but come Monday morning lots of events are missing. The mirror is currently showing events 10 days in the future even though there are plenty of events before then.

                      I have had a play with module config maximumEntries and limitDays to see if anything improves, but with no luck.

                      Thanks again,
                      Matt

npm install node-ical@0.16.1

                          @sdetweil said in Calendar not updating:

                          node-ical@0.16.1

                          Done. Different events shown on the mirror - events over the next few days rather than 10 days away! - but still events not displaying.

                          Browser dev tools indicate they’re sitll not getting parsed.
                          Server pm2 logs do show the events are being picked up from the calendar server e.g.

                          0|MagicMirror  | {"type":"VEVENT","params":[],"created":"2024-01-16T10:33:48.000Z","end":"2024-01-19T15:00:00.000Z","dtstamp":"2024-01-16T10:33:49.000Z","start":"2024-01-19T14:00:00.000Z","datetype":"date-time","lastmodified":"2024-01-16T10:33:48.000Z","sequence":"0","summary":"Alex bike","transparency":"OPAQUE","uid":"66D38BB9-70EA-486B-A297-58C2E0F3642C","url":{"params":{"VALUE":"URI"},"val":""},"APPLE-CREATOR-IDENTITY":"com.apple.mobilecal","APPLE-CREATOR-TEAM-IDENTITY":"0000000000"}

                          is not showing on the display and is not showing in browser devtools.

                              @sdetweil Hi Sam.
                              For a test I created an event in my calendar called test111 and verified server sync across several devices. This event starts in a few hours time so should be at the top of the events displayed on the mirror. I then stopped and started pm2.

                              Here are the magicmirror debug logs for the event:

                              [19.01.2024 08:41.23.286] [DEBUG] Event:

                              But in dev tools the event does not appear in the before filter events or events to process console sections which, i think, would indicate it’s not being parsed through to the UI…?

                              For comparison, if it helps, an event that is being parsed through looks like this in the logs (with a couple of bits redacted for privacy):

                                      @sdetweil Hi Sam. Thank you. Still no joy.
                                      Here is what is displayed on my mirror:
                                      mirror.png
                                      Yet here is what is in my calendar (as shown on my iphone):
                                      calendar.png
                                      You can see multiple events missing, but I can’t figure out any pattern as to what shows and what does not.
                                      I added in your calendarfetcherutils.js and restarted. Same behavior. The logs show the mirror is seeing the ‘house viewing PB’ events, for example, but it’s not showing up at all in dev tools or on the display.

                                        @matt216 I sent you a link to a new utils file in chat here. it adds some more debug, including dumping the list of events just before send, which would show in the same place as the normal debug

                                          @sdetweil hi Sam. I can’t see the chat message with the utils file. Just the parser file. Would you send again please?
