Also having trouble with displaying Google Calendar using MMM-GoogleCalendar

[cobcobbs]

Hello,

I've read through all of the previous discussions concerning display of my Google calendar using MMM-GoogleCalendar in conjunction with MMM-CalendarExt3 and I feel like I've made the correct updates. I even re-installed everything from scratch on a fresh RPi image and am still running into the same issue:
-If I comment out the eventTransformer code, the CalendarExt3 displays fine, but only shows US Holidays and not my Google Calendar.
-If I do not comment out the eventTransformer code, only the month, a thin line, and the top of what should be the CalendarExt3 display.
-In either scenario, my default calendar still displays my Google Calendar events.

Attached is my config.js code and a screen shot of what happens with eventTransformer commented out and not commented out.

Let me know what you think. Thanks for any help! Love this module!

config.txt

With eventTransformer code:

Without eventTransformer code:

1. To mix different events from the default calendar and MMM-GoogleCalendar, you should add more code. (Example was just an example...)
   https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3/wiki/Compatible-with-randomBrainstormer-MMM-GoogleCalendar
   (preProcessor or eventTransformer anything doesn't matter.)

2. Not related to this issue, But, your config has some faults.

locale: 'en-US',  // "en-US" is the right form of locale identifier.
/* maxEventLines: 4, */  // You don't need these 2 config values if your locale is exactly matched, unless you want to customize for your purpose.
/* firstDayOfWeek: 0, */

3. I think it's better to use MMM-CalDAV than MMM-GoogleCalendar.

Still no luck and, amazingly, no errors in .pm2/logs/MagicMirror-error.log
I thought maybe it was using "localhost" instead of 127.0.0.1 but no change. I AM able to access the ICS files in the browser using the served addresses (http://localhost:8080/CALDAV/GOOGLE_xxxx.ics).
Can I send you a PM with my config, env, and any other logs I may not be aware of?

Did a bit more digging and I'm thinking the problem is with MMM-CalDAV - I can't see the "servers" calendars in the default Calendar module.

You can send me your resources here. ([email protected]). If possible, send me the suspicious ics file also. (That is the most important resource to investigate)

So, we confirmed that CX3 has no relation to this issue. Let's move out CX3 from config to make things simple.
Now, what we have to do is check whether the default module can read the ics file normally.

• About the suspicious ics file.
  • How many events are there? (Estimation)
  • Since when are the events listed on it? Several years ago?
  • In the log, was there message about fetching this calendar ics file? It should have shown this kind of log;

[LOG]   Create new calendarfetcher for url: http://localhost:8080/CALDAV/GOOGLE_test.ics - Interval: 3600000
[INFO]  Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 58 events from http://localhost:8080/CALDAV/GOOGLE_test.ics.

• To check whether ics file itself could be read by the default module;
  • Rename that ics file without dot(.) prefix. (e.g. .GOOGLE_test.ics to GOOGLE_test.ics
  • Move that file to the directory <MM directory>/modules/MMM-CalDAV
  • Then, try to use that file as a feed in the default calendar module. Use this url. you don't need auth because the location and the name was changed.

  url: 'http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-CalDAV/GOOGLE_test.ics'

Could it be readable? Is there log message for fetching?

[ChickenBeard]

• For testing purposes, I removed all calendars except a single suspicious ics file stored on localhost
• Calendar ics file contains about 21 events.
• Earliest date is September 2023
• The log does NOT fetch items from any of the localhost ics files. Here is a log from when I had all calendars included. It would fetch the public Google Calendars directly from their web URLS. But it never fetches the localhost calendars. See log below
• I tried moving the suspicious ics file from into the MMM-CalDAV directory, removed the dot, and changed the URL in the config file: no change in behavior. still no calendar shows up.

omg I'm an idiot. I had the localhost URLs wrapped in a server [...] block within the Calendars module config instead of alongside the other calendars [...]
It's fetching them all now. Let me mess with it more and I'll open an issue if I still struggle.
Appreciate the patience and apologies for my lack of reading well.
