2.1.2 calendar not displaying full day events

[cschwarz007]

2.1.2 calendar does not display any full day events. The error can be reproduced on my RaspberryPi with a full day event in either calendar I am including in config.js:

{ module: 'calendar', position: 'top_left', config: { maximumEntries: 20, fadePoint: 0.7, maxTitleLength: 27, calendars: [ { symbol: 'calendar-plus-o', url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/[removed]/basic.ics' }, { symbol: 'birthday-cake', url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/[removed]/basic.ics' } ], titleReplace: { "'s Birthday": "" }, } },

In the other release it is working?

Can you testing in 2.1.1?

[cschwarz007]

Yes, it used to work in 2.1.1 and 2.1.0

This can be related with #926

@QNimbus, can you check?

Is ist possible to config the calendar that all events from today getting ignored and only show events starting tomorrow? Been tryin around but I couldn´t get that done.
Thanks.

I tried to do some debugging. It seems node_helper returns "CALENDAR_EVENTS" but does not fill the payload with any events. Hence, the error must be somewhere in calendarfetcher.js. How can I debug that file?

I think I found the issue. I have a calendar for birthdays which used to display fine. However, since recently it does not work anymore.

This is an extract from the iCal data:

{ type: 'VEVENT', params: [], start: { 1956-09-26T22:00:00.000Z tz: undefined }, end: { 1956-09-27T22:00:00.000Z tz: undefined }, rrule: RRule { _string: null, _cache: null, origOptions: [Object], options: [Object], timeset: [Object] }, dtstamp: '20170920T064041Z', uid: '[email protected]', created: '20170430T173625Z', description: '', 'last-modified': '20170430T173625Z', location: '', sequence: '0', status: 'CONFIRMED', summary: 'Ramona Schöntaube\'s Birthday', transparency: 'TRANSPARENT' }, '[email protected]':

As you can see, the start and end date are prior to 1970-01-01. This apparently is what causes an uncaught exception:

Error: dates lower than Thu Jan 01 1970 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (CET) are not supported at Object.toOrdinal (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/rrule-alt/lib/rrule.js:105:15) at Iterinfo.rebuild (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/rrule-alt/lib/rrule.js:1409:35) at RRule._iter (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/rrule-alt/lib/rrule.js:978:10) at RRule.between (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/rrule-alt/lib/rrule.js:794:21) at /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/calendarfetcher.js:122:24 at Request._callback (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/vendor/ical.js/node-ical.js:11:5) at Request.self.callback (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/request/request.js:186:22) at emitTwo (events.js:106:13) at Request.emit (events.js:191:7) at Request.<anonymous> (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/request/request.js:1163:10)

Any ideas on what to do - except changing the original iCal data which is a workaround, but not a nice one?

Any help highly appreciated!

Many thanks,
Christian

Apologies - just found that issue #839 already exists with this topic. Hence, consider this one closed.

@cschwarz007 Yeah, it's a restriction of UNIX (and by extension, Linux) because the time system on these OS's starts at 00:00:01 on January 1, 1970. Dates before that are considered invalid because time before then is negative, and the computer knows that time cannot be negative.
