That's the JS console - can you please check your Network tab as well? You can find it as the fourth tab in the inspector:

Firefox:

Chrome:

You should be able to see a PUT request if I'm not mistaken.

PeopleInside · 2024-09-05T18:16:02Z

Thanks for your help. I'm using Firefox and yes, I can check also the network tab.

In the network I see 403 error MKCOL

After load the calendar I removed network log and added the calendar and what you see in the screenshot is all I can see.
3 rows.

Ok, what is in the response when you click on the row with the 403 error?

PeopleInside · 2024-09-05T19:01:09Z

This one?

miaulalala · 2024-09-05T19:14:34Z

there should be a tab called "response": this is what it looks like for me:

There you should see some XML or an error. Please copy the whole thing 🙏

Ok nice, that's a step forward. Is this a private calendar that you are trying to subscribe to? Or can you share it?

PeopleInside · 2024-09-05T19:37:22Z

Hum this is a private calendar that I cannot share.
Was working on the nextcloud 28 before the nextcloud 29 update, i don't know if was some update that broken the calendar to work.

I updated and a day after I discovered my calendar was disappeared.
Unfortunately I cannot share this calendar.

Ok then you need to check any repeating events and see if one of them creates a wrong instance. Google is more forgiving than our library towards recurrence errors. You can validate the calendar here:

https://icalendar.org/validator.html

PeopleInside · 2024-09-05T20:16:51Z

Umh I have to upload with URL or text my private calendar in a website to validate it?
I cannot do that it's a private calendar.

Also I don't created any repeated event that was not present before when the calendar was working also I use that calendar synced with Thunderbird and another email client where I have no issues.

miaulalala · 2024-09-05T20:22:08Z

You could also export the calendar from google, and then try to import it manually in Nextcloud via the the calendar settings here:

It will tell you which event fails in the network tab.

PeopleInside · 2024-09-05T20:29:21Z

Once found I have to delete it?
Seems an old event I have also to understand how I can now find this event in the Google Calendar.

PeopleInside · 2024-09-05T20:36:43Z

IT gives error on different events not just one and if I search for that events I'm unable to find on the Google Calendar.
I see in the network console, after importing from the file in the nextcloud calendar 8 different row with 403 error.
In the request tab I can see some details about what I think is the relative event but I try to search a description of that even or even point the calendar to that 2016 old date but I cannot find that events on Google.

I can see 16 errors.
An example of one of this line and request:

I never experienced the calendar issue in the previous version of NextCloud and maybe calendar so I suppose some update create an issue.

Also the event that are not imported I see are not recent events but very old so those events was existing even when the calendar was working on Nextcloud.

PeopleInside · 2024-09-06T15:24:45Z

To update this topic I resolved by downloading the Google Calendar then editing with Notepad ++
I delete all old events and kept only new.
The issue is resolved now let me know if I should close this topic or leave it open as before nextcloud 29 I never had this calendar issue in nextcloud.

Anyway @miaulalala thank you very much Anna for your great and essential to me, support 🦋🎉🌻.

gthbusrr · 2024-09-10T19:04:45Z

I have the exact same issue. Subscription returns 403, exact same as the screenshot above.

When I download the .ics and import it to nextcloud, it shows that the deleted event (Google "delete" them using EXDATE) failed due to This recurrence rule does not generate any valid instances.

My proposal is to

don't fail subscription if one of the event didn't produce a valid instance
if it's from google, and it didn't produce a valid instance, simply skip that event.

example event:
