Not loading one of two Google calendars

bdeelman

Hi Sam,

The upcoming events are important. Always looking forward ;)

Is there a way setting variables to fix it? I can remove all old events from Google, but why? Maybe we need to import only future events.

What will be the best solution?

@bdeelman we cannot import only future
we get everything the source provides when we ask for the events. google doesn’t provide a filter mechanism

we dont parse them directly , calling a 3rd party
lib. but they have to parse them so we can filter. and boom we die before we can filter.

future is important. a year out? a day? a week?

i have a rolling 3 month future view. ( was a test, but i find it useful)

but even my all old, limited future idea doesn’t solve the total size problem

we are publishing a bunch of fixes i have created for calendar jan 1
this issue remains open.
would you be willing to share your cal url, via direct message, so i can test? i don’t share any data w others

Hi Sam,

I’ll generate a .ics calendar file with 4500 events, including a mix of:

Single events: Appointments, meetings, etc.
Recurring events: Weekly or yearly recurrences for things like birthdays, anniversaries.
Time ranges: Events spanning multiple hours or days.
The events will cover the period from January 1st, 2019 to January 1st, 2026.

I can put it at a website if you want? If you need an URL.

@bdeelman tell me where it is so I can download, will advise when done

make sure it fails of course, to test
put it in a directory off the MM folder then
then url in cal

http://localhost:mm_port/path/to_ics.file

Hi Sam,

What I did, with some help of ChatGPT.

The newly random events are working flawless. I prepared Python script to check the quality of the Google .ics file. I have 3071 events and 9 of them gave an error.

Error parsing event: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'dt'

Indicates that one of the events in my .ics file has a missing or improperly formatted DTSTART or DTEND.

I made another script to check how much. Nine 9 events has missing date fields. Another script to remove those 9 entries and load it into MM. And now they show up.

But…then I saw an error at the console at the customEvents parts.

{
            keyword: "Verjaardag",
            symbol: "birthday-cake",
            color: "Gold",
            transform: {
              search: "^([^']*) '(\\d{4})$",
              replace: "$1 ($2.)",
              yearmatchgroup: 2,
            },
          },

But with this code the other Google ics was working. Strange, without this code the two Google ics are working. So not sure if commenting the customEvents did the trick.

I can’t revert because I deleted the “wrong” events from the calendar.

@bdeelman ok, we dont have a dt property, so that might have been a python issue

its ok to have start without an end , the library handles that

do you know what the customevents error was?

Hi Sam,

[calendarutils.js:112 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')
    at Object.titleTransform (calendarutils.js:112:24)
    at calendar.js:353:41

But also with this error, both .ics are loading.

@bdeelman thx. the transform is expecting something in the title. dont know.

Hi,

The second Google calendar was too big. I made a module to prepare a smaller ics file with only the future events.

And now it is working. Two Google calendars.
