2.32.0 Calendar module limitDays and excludedEvents stopped working

[sdetweil]

@AndyHazz I copied your post in exactly, i reverted back to 2.32 original first

and got the right debug and results

[2025-07-09 16:27:38.473] [DEBUG] Processing entry…
[2025-07-09 16:27:38.473] [DEBUG] title: Dad’s Birthday
[2025-07-09 16:27:38.473] [LOG] should be excluded dad’s birthday birthday false g
[2025-07-09 16:27:38.473] [LOG] event should be excluded = true, dad’s birthday
[2025-07-09 16:27:38.473] [LOG] filter applies result = { excluded: true, until: null }
[2025-07-09 16:27:38.473] [LOG] filter applies returning = { excluded: true, until: null }

@AndyHazz and

the fetcherutils processes this exclude list very early after getting the events parsed

                // loop thru the parsed data, one event at a time
		Object.entries(data).forEach(([key, event]) => {
			Log.debug("Processing entry...");

			const title = CalendarFetcherUtils.getTitleFromEvent(event);
			Log.debug(`title: ${title}`);

			// Return quickly if event should be excluded.
			let { excluded, eventFilterUntil } = this.shouldEventBeExcluded(config, title);
			if (excluded) {
				return;
			}

@sdetweil should I see a console message from loader.js about calendarfetcherutils.js being loaded?

I see

Load script: modules/default/calendar/calendar.js
Load script: modules/default/calendar/calendarutils.js

but no mention in the console of calendarfetcherutils.js

[sdetweil]

@AndyHazz no.

@sdetweil I’ve no idea then, but if you were able to reproduce the issue I had, and then fix it on your end, I probably just messed something up somewhere and without any access to logs on my docker setup that may remain a mystery … I’ve just had another go at trying to figure out what that may be, no luck.

No rush at all but I guess if you’re happy with the fix it’ll show up in a new MM version at some point and I’ll update to that.

@AndyHazz next release isn’t til Oct 1

@AndyHazz weird…

@AndyHazz would you be willing to test another implementation of the limitDays code fix

another author has changed the code quite a bit,
copy the existing calendar.js so not losing what you have
new code

		if (this.config.limitDays > 0 && events.length>0) {   // line 708
			// Group all events by date, events on the same date will be in a list with the key being the date.
			Log.info("limitdays starting, events list length=", events.length)
			const eventsByDate = Object.groupBy(events, (ev) => this.timestampToMoment(ev.startDate).format("YYYY-MM-DD"));
			Log.info("eventsByDate keys=",Object.keys(eventsByDate))
			const newEvents = [];
			let currentDate = moment().subtract(1,'days');
			let daysCollected = 0;

			while (daysCollected < this.config.limitDays) {
				const dateStr = currentDate.format("YYYY-MM-DD");
				Log.info("limitDays checking=",dateStr)
				// Check if there are events on the currentDate
				if (eventsByDate[dateStr])
					Log.info("eventsByDate[",dateStr,"] length=",eventsByDate[dateStr].length)
				if (eventsByDate[dateStr] && eventsByDate[dateStr].length > 0) {
					// If there are any events today then get all those events and select the currently active events and the events that are starting later in the day.
					newEvents.push(...eventsByDate[dateStr].filter((ev) => this.timestampToMoment(ev.endDate).isAfter(moment())));
					// Since we found a day with events, increase the daysCollected by 1
					daysCollected++;
					Log.info("limitDays, found day with events, count=",daysCollected)
				}
			        // Search for the next day
				currentDate.add(1, "day");
			}
			Log.info("limitDays done")
			events = newEvents;
		}

this line is unchanged after replacing above code

		Log.info(`slicing events total maxcount=${this.config.maximumEntries}`);  // this line is unchanged

@sdetweil no problem, that new code seems to work fine for me.

However, I don’t seem to have a great setup for testing - after making the changes, I can load up MM in my remote/laptop browser and immediately see the changes working, but if I try and refresh the electron browser on the raspberry pi running my mirror (using MMM-Remote-Control), it seems to take ages, crash, and then reverts the code back to the docker image default 😮‍💨

I can see this in the docker container logs so I reckon it’s reverting any changes I make there?

yes it overrides the default modules but you can change this behavior

[AndyHazz]

@karsten13 aha, good to know, although I already started and now finished setting up from scratch again 🙄 no docker this time … I kept it on a spare sd card though so may switch back.

@sdetweil new code for limitDays reapplied on a fresh install, still seems fine. Previous suggestions to fix the excludedEvents still not working though.

@sdetweil hold up - it’s all working now! I don’t think I changed anything else, just an extra refresh. So, all your fixes are good. Sorry that took a while to figure out, and if I’d read @karsten13’s docker instructions properly I think that docker module override feature was probably the cause of earlier confusion.

[sdetweil]

@AndyHazz thanks for the feedback and extra effort

[sdetweil]

@AndyHazz these fixes are in the next release Oct 1
