CalDav Personal - receiving exception

DanE · July 14, 2019, 8:45am

Hi everyone,

I am struggeling for three days now to get my calendar running. I finally think I got the right configuration by trying to use my link and credentials in a browser and received an events.ics file. So from that point of view everything seems correct. Still I don’t get any data. At least it seems like it. So i tried to set the logger. But I’m not sure where exactly to put that entry. So I tried both. The caldavio.cfg as well as the caldavPersonal.cfg. Now I get an error, wether the line is activatet or not.

Any suggestions on my issue?
Desperate user looking for some help!

rlkoshak · July 15, 2019, 3:48pm

It’s complaining about being unable to parse a configuration parameter so please post your configs. And please How to use code fences.

namraccr · July 15, 2019, 11:18pm

Trying to define a logger in the config file, which is not where that goes.
Start here.

DanE · July 16, 2019, 6:07am

Unfortunately it is not that simple. Otherwise I would have found out myself by now. I found a thread that discussed a behavior like mine. It was discribed that if you once have a false cfg file, the error is somehow stored in other files. I found those files in the userconfig and deleted them. For the devcon.io it worked. In the personal.cfg it still appears after saving the actual config file. So there seems to be some kind of issue here.

Other than that I still cannot receive any data, although the configuration seems to be right. So on this side of the problem it does seem to be me

When I am back home, I will poste my config files. Out of the log file I don’t get anything useful.

Cheers

DanE · July 16, 2019, 6:12am

Thank you for that hint. This is what I was missing. I just saw the information in the binding documentation. I actually had no idea where to put that so I just tried and failed.

rlkoshak · July 16, 2019, 2:49pm

You have an error saying that it can’t parse your config files.

You ask for help.

But because the problem “is not that simple” you choose to with hold that information from us? How the hell are we supposed to help?

I’m glad you found a solution to your problem but please in the future, and for all people who read this thread in the future

Don’t withhold asked for information because you think you know better.

If we ask for it, we need it to help. Withholding it is a waste of all of our time.

DanE · July 16, 2019, 6:29pm

I am really greatful for the help here! But why the hate. I just simply didn’t have the time to respond properly yet. Like I said I wasn’t at home. This is why I couldn’t access my system. At least not the openhab server. And sure I am willing to post the solution I found.

Here is the post that actualy helped me to solve the problem:

rlkoshak · July 16, 2019, 6:36pm

No hate. But your response to “show your configs” to help us solve a config file problem was answered with “Unfortunately it is not that simple. Otherwise I would have found out myself by now.”

It may not be what you meant but that can be rephrased as “I don’t need to show you my configs, if it were as simple as something wrong with the config file I would have found it without help.”

DanE · July 16, 2019, 6:56pm

Ok, I really didn’t mean to make that impression. So sorry for that missunderstanding.

So here are my config files:
caldavPersonal.cfg:
caldavPersonal:usedCalendars=Muellkalender

caldavio.cfg:
caldavio:Muellkalender:url=https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe%2FBerlin caldavio:Muellkalender:username=xxxxxxxxxxxxx caldavio:Muellkalender:password=xxxxxxxxxxxxx caldavio:Muellkalender:reloadInterval=2 caldavio:Muellkalender:preloadTime=200000 caldavio:timeZone=Europe/Berlin

current log output:

rlkoshak · July 16, 2019, 7:37pm

Not quite the code fences that I mean.

Can you edit the post and use

```
logs, config and code go here
```

This will preserve new lines and other formatting which makes everything much easier to read.

The 501 error code means that you are trying to access the calendar in a way that the calendar does not support. I know that people have used Google Calendar with CalDav in the past, maybe Google changed their access? Did you follow the Google part of the instructions here? It requires work on both the Google side and the openHAB side to get it to work.

DanE · July 16, 2019, 8:30pm

ok, now I went back to my previous config.

caldavio:Muellkalender:url=https://calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com/events
caldavio:Muellkalender:username=XXXXXXXXXX
caldavio:Muellkalender:password=XXXXXXXXXXX
caldavio:Muellkalender:reloadInterval=2
caldavio:Muellkalender:preloadTime=200000
caldavio:Muellkalender:disableCertificateVerification=true
caldavio:timeZone=Europe/Berlin

my log says:

2019-07-16 22:24:41.465 [INFO ] [.io.caldav.internal.CalDavLoaderImpl] - CalDAV IO is properly configured.

But still I don’t receive any data.

Here is one of my items:

DateTime Biomuell "Biomüll [%1$td.%1$tm.%1$tY]" <calendar> (gAbfall) { caldavPersonal="calendar:Muellkalender type:EVENT eventNr:1 value:START filter-name:'Bioabfall'" }

rlkoshak · July 16, 2019, 9:04pm

We are beyond my experience with this binding. I don’t think I can help much more.

namraccr · July 16, 2019, 11:10pm

Try setting logging to TRACE and see if it provides any additional help. Make sure to do it for both packages.

DanE · July 17, 2019, 12:14pm

So I finally got it to work. I did have the wrong url. I used

caldavio:Muellkalender:url=https://calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/calendar-id@group.calendar.google.com/events

DanE · July 17, 2019, 12:16pm

Now one thing left. The calendar entry for a specific item doesn’t work. If I look at my google calendar the item is called “Hausmüll (2 wöchentlich)”.

My item looks like this:

DateTime Restmuell "Restmüll [%1$td.%1$tm.%1$tY]" <calendar> (gAbfall) { caldavPersonal="calendar:Muellkalender type:EVENT eventNr:1 value:START filter-name:'Hausmüll (2 wöchentlich)'" }

Any suggestions on that? I guess my regex doesn’t work.

rlkoshak · July 17, 2019, 2:03pm

Parenthesis have a special meaning in regular expressions. You need to escape them if you want it to look for that character instead of interpreting it.

'Hausmüll \(2 wöchentlich\)'

DanE · July 17, 2019, 2:11pm

If I do that I get:

2019-07-17 16:09:02.333 [WARN ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Configuration model 'trash.items' has errors, therefore ignoring it: [1,89]: mismatched character '(' expecting set null
[1,170]: mismatched input '2' expecting RULE_STRING

rlkoshak · July 17, 2019, 3:23pm

I don’t use this binding so I don’t know it’s quirks.

The error seems to imply that it is requiring some parens. The parens is how you usually tell a regular expression what part of the String you want. So put the whole thing in parens and see if that makes a difference.

'(Hausmüll \(2 wöchentlich\))'

DanE · July 17, 2019, 3:25pm

Unfortunately I already have that:

DateTime Restmuell "Restmüll [%1$td.%1$tm.%1$tY]" <calendar> (gAbfall) { caldavPersonal="calendar:Muellkalender type:EVENT eventNr:1 value:START filter-name:'Hausmüll \(2 wöchentlich\)'" }
