Can you post the contents of the settings.json file in the calendar skill directory (With the sensitive parts blocked out, of course)

Hummm, in which directory?
On /opt/mycroft/skills/calendar-skill.linuss1 there is no need to blur anything
settings.json

  {"__mycroft_skill_firstrun": false}

The other file on this very same location: settingsmeta.yaml

name: Calendar
skillMetadata:
  sections:
    - name: Calendar Location
      fields:
        - type: label
          label: By default, the calendar skill defaults to saving your calendar on your device. However, if you wish to connect to a iCal server, you can select the setting here then fill out the information below.

          type: text
          label: address
          value: ""

On ~/.mycroft/skills/Calendar there isn’t any file at all.

Where I put the configuration was in ~/.mycroft/calendar-skill.linuss1 with this content

username: <MY_NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME>
password: <MY_NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD>
server_address: <MY_NEXTCLOUD_URL>
port: 443

It makes any sense for you?

Okay, try putting the configuration that you entered (in ~/.mycroft/calendar-skill.linuss1) into a file, with the same name at ~/.mycroft/skills/Calendar and deleting the other.
Then try rebooting to make sure the changes take affect.

If that doesn’t work, delete the configuration files that you created (~/.mycroft/skills/Calendar) and try configuring with Mycroft home. Make sure you click the save button and then say “configuration update” to pull the settings down. Then check /opt/mycroft/skills/calendar-skill.linuss1/settings.json to see if your information was pulled down. (post that file here).

Using PiCroft (Buster Keaton - Pork Pi) (MyCroft Core 20.2.2 Master)

This Forum has been most helpful. Here are the steps I’ve isolated so far:

msm install https://github.com/LinusS1/calendar-skill.git works great.
msm --latest install https://github.com/LinusS1/calendar-skill.git also works.

The install took almost 20 minutes for me, but it eventually finished. Start it and walk away, watch a movie, whatever. When you come back it will be finished.

However, it is incomplete. You will need to run: pip install CalDav before, if you want to be able to use a CalDav server (like NextCloud) this also takes some time. Be patient.

Now I’ve got it running and configured. Edit /opt/mycroft/skills/calendar-skill.linuss1/settingsmeta.yaml AND /opt/mycroft/skills/calendar-skill.linuss1/settings.json with your server connection info. REBOOT.

After it comes up, you can test:

  1. What’s on my Calendar? --fails
  2. Add event Test today at 2pm. --fails
  3. Manually add event Test to your calendar at 2pm.
  4. Add event Test today at 2pm. --passes

Proves that it can connect to the CalDav server, but can’t do anything with it.

Here are the relevant logs:

Urk… I just got up a nextcloud server specifically to make use of this skill… I hope it gets updated soon!

Hey all, I’ll look into this. If you could also create issues on GitHub, that would be very helpful, because that’s where I spend most of my day lol.
