Default Calendar Not Loading Events After New MM Update
-
@angeliKITTYx i hate this editor on my phone changing the characters
do
node --versionit should report 22.21.1
thencd ~/MagicMirror npm run install-mm -
@sdetweil
it’s booting now! hurray! however, now I’m getting the package lock error when i try to complete the calendarext3 update and none of my events are populating. I have a thread up on someone else’s trouble shooting but I’m out of time this morning. I be back at it this afternoon. thank you again for all your help. -
@angeliKITTYx awesome. Thanks for the feedback
package-lock? Erase that file then do the update
There is a known bug affecting modules that have functions in their config like ext3. We are discussing ways to distribute these fixes.
-
Did you get the npm run install-mm done after verifying node version was correct?
-
@sdetweil
yes I did the npm run install-mm successfully.i got it updated, but now it’s angry again

@angeliKITTYx looks like you didn’t do that in the MagicMirror folder
cd ~/MagicMirror npm run install-mm -
I did it originally in the MM folder, but I ran it again and still getting the same errors
I did catch this before the entire terminal filled up with “: ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function”

@sdetweil
it’s booted again and no update notifs (:…but none of my calendar events are populating. this morning, it took about 20m and they eventually showed up. I’ve had it open for about 10m already and don’t see anything. I’ll keep an eye on it.
update - I backed out and saw that I got all of these errors still…ssignment -July 4th [TC295.CST.100.O01N.SU24.7W1]": ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function [2026-04-29 21:45:07.831] [ERROR] [calendar] Could not expand event "Introductory Speech Written Submission [TC295.CST.100.O01N.SU24.7W1]": ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function [2026-04-29 21:45:07.832] [ERROR] [calendar] Could not expand event "PHI 100 Quiz 4": ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function [2026-04-29 21:45:07.833] [ERROR] [calendar] Could not expand event "Persuasive Ad Analysis [TC295.CST.100.O01N.SU24.7W1]": ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function [2026-04-29 21:45:07.834] [ERROR] [calendar] Could not expand event "Discussion 1 [TC295.CST.100.O01N.SU24.7W1]": ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function [2026-04-29 21:45:07.834] [ERROR] [calendar] Could not expand event "Final Discussion [TC295.CST.100.O01N.SU24.7W1]": ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function [2026-04-29 21:45:07.835] [ERROR] [calendar] Could not expand event "Introductory Speech Video (Recorded Audio and Video) [TC295.CST.100.O01N.SU24.7W1]": ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function [2026-04-29 21:45:07.836] [ERROR] [calendar] Could not expand event "Submit Persuasive Speech [TC295.CST.100.O01N.SU24.7W1]": ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function [2026-04-29 21:45:07.837] [ERROR] [calendar] Could not expand event "PHI 100 QUIZ 2": ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function [2026-04-29 21:45:07.838] [ERROR] [calendar] Could not expand event "Homework [TC295.CST.100.O01N.SU24.7W1]": ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function [2026-04-29 21:45:07.839] [ERROR] [calendar] Could not expand event "My Listening Skills [TC295.CST.100.O01N.SU24.7W1]": ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function [2026-04-29 21:45:07.840] [ERROR] [calendar] Could not expand event "PHI 100 Discussion": ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function [2026-04-29 21:45:07.841] [INFO] [calendar] Broadcasting 0 events from https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/2adcc5394a749909a5fbe4e93d3673b2e0ff6fd91551d1977ecc7dfb84dde87a%40group.calendar.google.com/private-b562d8f04caac264bc19d634d4bfcee0/basic.ics.

@angeliKITTYx thanks
@kristjanesperanto what do you think of this?
We’ve made sure to erase node_modules and start fresh -
@kristjanesperanto what do you think of this?
Hmm… I didn’t expect something like that in the current release. But I won’t be able to take a closer look at it right away. It would be interesting to see if this also happens in the develop branch.
-
@angeliKITTYx This shouldn’t happen with the just released new version v2.36.0. I recommend to update :)
-
Upgrade , use my script
-
@sdetweil @kristjanesperanto we are up and running!! even fixed the issue of one of my calendars loading slowly (: thank you both so so so much!

@angeliKITTYx awesome. Thanks for the feedback
