Google Calendar - htmlLink not always defined

[bensinclair]

Over the weekend I started getting the following error.

It's within the injectQsComponent function. It appears not all items in a Google Calendar events array have a htmlLink key.

Here's an example:

  {
   "kind": "calendar#event",
   "etag": "\"2881697643358000\"",
   "id": "xxxxxxxxxx",
   "status": "confirmed",
   "updated": "2015-08-29T11:47:01.679Z",
   "start": {
    "dateTime": "2015-09-03T04:30:00-04:00",
    "timeZone": "Australia/Sydney"
   },
   "end": {
    "dateTime": "2015-09-03T05:15:00-04:00",
    "timeZone": "Australia/Sydney"
   },
   "visibility": "private",
   "iCalUID": "xxxxxxxxxx@google.com"
  }

Doesn't happen on all calendars. Would just be a case of checking if entry.htmlLink is defined. To fix temporarily this is what I added on line 139:

var url = typeof(entry.htmlLink) != 'undefined' ? entry.htmlLink : '';

Just to expand on this, I beleive this is an issue with Google Apps calendars. I think Google must be tightening security. Under Calendar settings in Google Apps, it is set to show "Only free/busy information (hide event details)" which is what I think is causing this. I've switched to publicly show events (which can take 24 hours to update) so I'll let you know the results.

It might just be a privacy setting afterall.

Are you using the gcal as mentioned here? http://fullcalendar.io/docs/google_calendar/

The demo at http://fullcalendar.io/js/fullcalendar-2.4.0/demos/gcal.html seems to work.

The demo isn't using a calendar attached to a Google Apps account (see my last comment). I'll let you know if me changing my security settings resolves the issue.

Please see attached.

If you have not enabled sharing in Google Apps it doesn't provide things like the event name and the link. Obviously this is user error but maybe more graceful erroring would be useful?

i agree, a JS error should be avoided. there should be an existence check for htmlLink
