      For a long time I’ve used limitDays: ‘1’, and excludedEvents: [ ‘Tutor Time’ ], to limit my calendar display to show my kids upcoming lessons for the day, synced from their school calendar.

      Since the last update, limitDays seems to limit the number of events that show, rather than the number of days. Setting it to ‘1’ shows the first lesson of the day, ‘2’ shows the first two lessons etc.

      excludedEvents also seems to have no effect any more … the first event of every day is ‘Tutor Time’ so I exclude that, but it has started appearing since the latest update.

      I can’t see anything in the release notes that’d explain that ?

          @AndyHazz I don’t see any change in the code for limitDays, but it is expecting a number not text, so remove the quotes. As ‘1’ is 48 decimal

          There was a rewrite of the event parser (not by me), I don’t see any difference here, but your string has a space.

          Can you add

          , "DEBUG"
          

          to the logLevel config property (up at the top of config.js

          And start MagicMirror like this from a terminal window
          ( Make sure to stop any instance running under pm2 first)

          npm start >somefile.txt

          Wait til the events are shown

          Then ctrl-q on the MagicMirror screen

          Examine the contents of somefile.txt
          Or send to me, same userid as here at gmail
          Note the log will contain the full calendar url. I won’t use it, but don’t paste the unedited file anywhere

            @sdetweil ah - I did have ‘limitDays: 1’ previously but added the quotes to try and fix - I’ve removed them again but either way seems to make no difference.

            I’m not sure how to get the debug log out though, as I’m using a docker setup, not pm2, and can’t figure out how to stop the running instance first (so it looks like it fails to start fully) - here’s what I get:

            docker exec -it mm bash
            node@magicmirroros:/opt/magic_mirror$ npm start
            
            > magicmirror@2.32.0 start
            > node --run start:x11

              @AndyHazz yeh, another place where docker is unhelpful

              Maybe on the docker host

              docker compose down mm
              docker compose up mm > somefile.txt

                @sdetweil if I cd into /opt/mm/run I can get some output but still looks like it fails before giving anything useful:

                  @AndyHazz You can do the following from the docker host, docker compose up -d this will launch you container. Then you can run the following command docker exec -it magicmirror bash replacing magicmirror with your container name. This essentially puts you into the MagicMirror directory. You can then acces the debug log from there.

                    @AndyHazz said in 2.32.0 Calendar module limitDays and excludedEvents stopped working:
                    Looks like an issue with MMM-Remote-Control.

                    Which version are you using? Run grep '"version":' package.json in MMM-Remote-Control’s directory to find out.

                      @mumblebaj for a bit more context I’m using MagicMirrorOS and it’s been great whilst it was working, but certainly seems to make dubugging harder so perhaps I’ll switch back to regular setup when I get a bit more time …

                      To clarify, I’m only seeing errors when trying to work around lack of access to logs in docker - if I just let the system run normally I’m not getting any errors, just an unexpected change in calendar behaviour.

                      docker compose up -d works if I enter /opt/mm/run directory first.
                      Not sure I need that compose up command though as the container is running ok already. docker exec -it mm bash works to get into the container, but then I can’t find any debug logs …

                      @KristjanESPERANTO I’m not sure but I think the errors referring to MMM-Remote-Control I posted were more to do with my failed attempts to get logs from the docker container, not the original issue of calendar display … but in case you’re onto something:

                      > node@magicmirroros:/opt/magic_mirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control$ grep '"version":' package.json
                        "version": "3.1.4",

                        Not sure, but you have a rather old version of MMM-Remote-Control which is only compatible to a limited extent with MM 2.32.0. If you update MMM-Remote-Control, the start of MM may not abort like above.

                          @KristjanESPERANTO I’ve been able to update MMM-Remote-Control to 3.2.0 and you were right that stops the errors I was getting in the logs when running docker compose up.

                          Still doesn’t look like there are any clues there for my calendar issues though …

                          docker compose up > somenewfile.txt                                                                                                                                                  ─╯

                          I think the repeating ‘table not found in HTML’ error is just from my MMM-Scrapey module, as it’s looking for bus times and it’s late, the last bus has gone.
