Node-js 18.19.0
NPM 10.2.3
js-controller 5.0.19
tried with ical 1.14.3 & 1.14.2 - same error
os macOS 14.4.1 Sonoma on Mac mini M2

That's strange. The meta object should be created automatically:

ioBroker.ical/io-package.json

Lines 216 to 237 in 4b5ec8f

	{
	"_id": "",
	"type": "meta",

Can you check if the object doesn't exist in the object tab?

Looks similar in /usr/local/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.ical/io-package.json

maybe something to do with my iob macOS installation - not the usual linux ???
Or do you mean under the objects tab in the iob webinterface?

[klein0r]

Or do you mean under the objects tab in the iob webinterface?

I mean the real existing object in the database. And it looks like that's not existent in your installation.
Can you share the instance object system.adapter.ical.0 (or check if the meta attribute is defined there)?

[mac89muc]

seems it's missing...
something to do with macOS?

[klein0r]

seems it's missing...

The screenshot shows the instance object in the second line. Just open it and check the instanceObjects.

[mac89muc]

in the mentioned second line there's no "type": "meta.user"

but in the first line (system.adapter.ical) it exists

[klein0r]

That's strange. Please upload the adapter again (via adapters tab or iobroker upload ical).
Does that work without any errors? Please share the output

[mac89muc]

@klein0r 👍🏻 seems to work properly now - no log errors.

Danke für den schnellen Support
Gruß

seems to work properly now

The big question is, why the automatic upload (which is executed after every adapter update) wasn't working
