Default Calendar Not Loading Events After New MM Update
-
@doogy_rev it looks like you tried it manually, git pull, and the latest code was already present
local version 2.35.0 already same as master 2.35.0
The upgrade by default will not upgrade over the existing version
To fix, rerun and change the parm from apply to force
ok, so I know enough to be dangerous, what is the command I should be committing?
-
@doogy_rev if you copy paste the second upgrade command from my script GitHub repo, you will see the word
apply
At the end
Change that to
force
And hit enter
-
@sdetweil That worked, thanks very much.
-
@doogy_rev awesome… thanks for the feedback
-
My calendar also stopped showing events (from my Google calendar).
Running
bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" forcefixed it for me. It worked like ‘Magic’ - pun intended.
Thank you!!
-
@Athlon ok, that means the manual upgrade failed. but pulled the new code
git pull && npm run install-mmmeans the git pull encountered a problem, and the npm run didn’t happen,m
but there is no log…can you send me the ~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log so I can see what the problem might have been
same userid at gmail, thanks…
-
sent…
-
@Athlon replied
for others, this was a node version mismatch that cause the npm run install-mm to fail,
leaving the new source installed, but the dependencies NOT installed.so, something will fail… calendar for you
-
Reviving this… I’m having the same issues and got a little lost in the steps in the replies.

@angeliKITTYx you are on node 22.19, and we need 22.21.1
If you use my scripted install or update then it will take care of that.
Because you did part of the install (git pull), the new version code is loaded
But not its dependencies, so MagicMirror won’t run correctlyYou could run my upgrade script with force instead of apply
As it won’t let you install/upgrade over the current level. -
@sdetweil thanks for the quick reply. I did the first line under the Update section and got the same results. All of the modules are working except CalEXT3 - it shows, but no events populate and I get all of those “not a function” errors.
I also tried running the second command in that section and got the same results. I’m probably missing a step somewhere…

@angeliKITTYx correct. It says doing test run , no changes will be made

Test, advise any issues , no changes
The second part, DoThe second line to copy ends with the word

Which I want you to change to
