2.30.0 and MMM-CalendarExt3 missing calendars

[redfishbluefish]

@sdetweil I updated my docker server-only install to 2.30.0 to test on. The config.js file is almost identical to what I have on my RPi and this is what I see after restarting MagicMirror:

I notice that there are no calendar events being broadcast at all (which likely makes sense since nothing has attempted to load the page yet).

After loading the site I get (calendar urls deleted):

The basic3.ics calendar event show in MMM-CalendarExt3 but nothing else.

This post looks like a similar issue: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19273/mmm-calendarext3-not-showing-events-on-calendar-but-does-on-list-after-2-30-update

@redfishbluefish ok, cal module is working

ext3 is done all in browser,
open the developer window, ctrl-shift-i,
select the console tab
add ext to the filter field

[sdetweil]

@redfishbluefish you both reported at approximately same time

[redfishbluefish]

@sdetweil I get what’s in the screenshot in the console but CalendarExt3 is loaded in the browser correctly.

Note that this looks identical to what I see when running 2.29.0.

[sdetweil]

@redfishbluefish hm… I have 3 instances , on pages, with multiple cals.
all three instances are working…

I checked was downlevel (on 1.8.5), now on 1.9.4 latest… no change. all working as expected. I added a calendar fix reported by author, about calendar symbols in an array

symbol: [ “foo”, “bar” ]

but you aren’t seeing any exceptions

[redfishbluefish]

@sdetweil thanks for looking at this. I’d love to see an error of some sorts - much easier to track down! :)

I’ll strip down to a basic config.js and see if I can find something that works for me and maybe that will give some clues.

[sdetweil]

@redfishbluefish all you have to do is add
disabled:true,
after all the modules to turn off

[sdetweil]

@redfishbluefish
or copy the sample config
add the cal and ext3 stuff

then
export MM_CONFIG_FILE=config/xxxxx
npm start
xxxx is the new config name

@redfishbluefish
To make things simple;

• Disable all other modules except clock, calendar, MMM-CalendarExt3.

If you still have issue or found any error log (front-end log in your browser, not back-end log in your terminal), report me.

However, in my test, it works on the new installation of MM 2.30.
