Missing age calculation in 5.1.3

[JaapAntwerp]

Steps to reproduce

I have followed the set-up file and try to add an Google Cloud Project number But helas, it tells me I don't have sufficient rights (I need to configurate the "OAuth consent screen")

I do receive the reminder e-mail, but

1) no age is presented 2) It only gives 1 reminder (not the reminders for over 2 or 7 days) 3) also in the subject, it only gives that one reminder (of today)

What action or series of actions is the cause of the issue?

1. action 1;
2. action 2;
3. action 3;

Expected behavior

What should happen?

Current behavior

What happens instead?

Context

• Version of the script: x.x.x - look for a line near the top of the code which reads:

  version: 'w.x.y-z',

• Any other details which might be related to the context;

Hey, thank you for filing this issue. Unfortunately, I am not certain if I understood you correctly. You said that you receive emails, which means that you have setup the script correctly. Regarding the email notifications prior to the events, you have to set anticipateDays in the script accordingly. Did you do that?

The age calculation can be wrong if an incorrect javascript engine is set. Could you go to the script -> click the gear icon on the top left -> and ensure that the Chrome V8-Runtime is activated?

Thanks Michael,

First a small correction. It seems the version 5.1.3 did correctly send me also the anticitaped events (for today, and for in 2 days and in 7 days) But it did NOT give the years Nor (as I see now) did it give the teleplhone number (for the anticitated events)

I did set the anticipateDays correctly on 0, 2, 7:

And the V8-runtime was already activated:

"Strange" thing is that I kept the old version (5.0.1) alive and that one works fine (although in another gmail account I have the same problem (no years) for this version)

version 5.0.1:

version 5.1.3: As you can see for Marc Roels (birthday tomorrow 25/11) the e-mails addres is there, but not his telephone number And for non the "years" is calculated (the "91 jaar" you see is part of the contact's name. It is his age at the moment she passed away (then 91 years, today she would have been 98 years)

Groeten,

Jaap

Does somebody why I do get the reminder emails, but the age is missing?

[plainerman]

I think that I was able to reproduce this issue. Will keep you posted here.

The issue seems to be https://github.com/GioBonvi/GoogleContactsEventsNotifier/blob/ff969c95c5c9039c68df9858cedee02307e7750e/code.gs#L443-L445

[plainerman]

Could you check if the changes proposed here: https://github.com/GioBonvi/GoogleContactsEventsNotifier/pull/191 resolve your issues?

After updating the script, you can verify it by selecting "test" instead of "notifStart" in the dropdown at the top. When ran, this will execute the script for the set test date. You can change it by setting https://github.com/GioBonvi/GoogleContactsEventsNotifier/blob/ff969c95c5c9039c68df9858cedee02307e7750e/code.gs#L163 to a date where some of your contacts have a birthday.

If this does not solve your problem, please share your settings (line 12-173).

[JaapAntwerp]

No. No change. Still not a calculated age

Have I made the correct changes??

• changed the version number on line 169
• the lines 325 - 330 were already there
• added a questionmark "?" in line 438 (or 444)

Lines 325-330 were deleted. Could you share your config? (please remove your email for privacy reasons)

[JaapAntwerp]

no, still no age calculation

How do I share my "config" ???

[plainerman]

The settings can be found from line 12-173 of your script. With them I can see whether the same issue persists for me.

But as said above, please delete your email from the script.

var settings = { user: { /*

• GOOGLE EMAIL ADDRESS
• Replace this fake Gmail address with the Gmail (or G Suite/Google Apps) address of your

• Replace this fake email address with the one you want the notifications to be sent
• to. This can be the same email address as 'googleEmail' on or any other email
• address. Non-Gmail addresses are fine as well. / notificationEmail: 'xxxxxxxx@gmail.com', /
• EMAIL SENDER NAME
• This is the name you will see as the sender of the email: if you leave it blank it will
• default to your Google account name.
• Note: this may not work when notificationEmail is a Gmail address. / emailSenderName: '(verjaardags) kalender van xxxxxxxxxx', /
• LANGUAGE
• To translate the notifications messages into your language enter the two-letter language
• code here.
• Available languages are:
• en, cs, de, el, es, fa, fr, he, id, it, kr, lt, nl, no, nb, pl, pt, pt-BR, ru, th, tr.
• If you want to add your own language find the variable called i18n below and follow the
• instructions: it's quite simple as long as you can translate from one of the available
• languages. / lang: 'nl' }, notifications: { /
• HOUR OF THE NOTIFICATION
• Specify at which hour of the day would you like to receive the email notifications.
• This must be an integer between 0 and 23. This will set and automatic trigger for
• the script between e.g. 6 and 7 am. / hour: 0, /
• NOTIFICATION TIMEZONE
• To ensure the correctness of the notifications timing please set this variable to the
• timezone you are living in.
• Accepted values:
• GMT (e.g. 'GMT-4', 'GMT+6')
• regional timezones (e.g. 'Europe/Berlin' - See here for a complete list: http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/timezones.html) / timeZone: 'Europe/Rome', /
• HOW MANY DAYS BEFORE EVENT
• Here you have to decide when you want to receive the email notification.
• Insert a comma-separated list of numbers between the square brackets, where each number
• represents how many days before an event you want to be notified.
• If you want to be notified only once then enter a single number between the brackets.
• Examples:
• [0] means "Notify me the day of the event";
• [0, 7] means "Notify me the day of the event and 7 days before";
• [0, 1, 7] means "Notify me the day of the event, the day before and 7 days before";
• Note: in any case you will receive one email per day: all the notifications will be grouped
• together in that email. / anticipateDays: [0, 1, 7], /
• TYPE OF EVENTS
• This script can track any Google Contact Event: you can decide which ones by placing true
• or false next to each type in the following lines.
• By default the script only tracks birthday events. / eventTypes: { BIRTHDAY: true, ANNIVERSARY: true, CUSTOM: true }, /
• MAXIMUM NUMBER OF EMAIL ADDRESSES
• You can limit the maximum number of email addresses displayed for each contact in the notification emails
• by changing this number. If you don't want to impose any limits change it to -1, if you don't want any

• Use this variable to determine how many spaces are used for indentation.
• This is used in the plaintext part of emails only (invisible to email clients which display
• the html part by default). / indentSize: 4, /
• GROUP ALL LABELS
• By default only the main emails and phone numbers (work, home, mobile, main) are displayed with their
• own label: all the other special and/or custom emails and phone numbers are grouped into a single
• "other" group. By setting this variable to false instead, every phone and email will be grouped
• under its own label. / compactGrouping: true }, debug: { log: { /
  • LOGGING FILTER LEVEL
  • This settings lets you filter which type of events will get logged:
  • • 'INFO' will log all types of events event (messages, warnings and errors);
  • • 'WARNING' will log warnings and errors only (discarding messages);
  • • 'ERROR' will log errors only (discarding messages and warnings);
  • • 'FATAL_ERROR' will log fatal errors only (discarding messages, warnings and non-fatal errors);
  • • 'MAX' will effectively disable the logging (nothing will be logged); / filterLevel: 'INFO', /
  • Set this variable to: 'INFO', 'WARNING', 'ERROR', 'FATAL_ERROR' or 'MAX'. You will be sent an
  • email containing the full execution log of the script if at least one event of priority
  • equal or greater to sendTrigger has been logged. 'MAX' means that such emails will
  • never be sent.
  • Note: filterLevel has precedence over this setting! For example if you set filterLevel

[JaapAntwerp]

What I don't understand is, while I use as a testDate: new Date('2022/11/24 00:00:00') and anticipateDays: [0, 1, 7],

The log says: 23:06:41 Informatie I: Date used: Fri Dec 02 2022 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)

[plainerman]

Yes, this seems odd to me too. Just to get the obvious out of the way: You saved the script, right?

Secondly, 23:06:44 Informatie W: People is not defined seems weird. Maybe there is something wrong with the people api integration.

[JaapAntwerp]

Yes I saved the script.

I don't know about the integration of the people API, but I do get the emails, only in after version 5.0.2 no longer the calculated age (and in some of my accounts even in version 5.0.2 the calculated age is gone).

• What would be practical, is that the e-mail reminder resulted from the test function, would have a special code, so that you can filter on it .
• Or that the testing e-mail optional can be sent to another e-mail address. (I forward my e-mail reminders to my family, and now they get also these test e-mails. With a "special code" perhaps I could filter them out and not forward these test emails to my family)

I had to add People API to make it working, althought it is not mentioned in the Installation and setup

[JaapAntwerp]

I actually think that does make a difference.... But it helps only partially (I get some with the calculated date, some without and some double)

But for some odd reason I get now 1 contact with a special event (date of death) mentioned two times:

• once without the calculated years since his decease
• and one with the calcutaled years

The only thing still missing (which was there in the previous versions) is the "nickname" of the contact added to the body (as I have an extended family, sometimes in the "nickname" I have put information who is who. eg. "daughter of ...". or "son of .....")

Groeten,

Thanks @ekos2001, I have it also activated. But when I implemented the feature in #177, it seemed like we don't need to manually activate it. That might have changed, or was not working properly for new users.

@JaapAntwerp regarding this issue: 1) Have you included the changes from #191? Because those should also resolve the duplicate / missing age calculations. 2) Regarding the nick names, lets create a second issue 3) I will document the people api and also create a separate issue for that.

[JaapAntwerp]

I have re-started everything, re-copied the original code, made the changes, activated the People API and YES, IT WORKS !!!

And I even copied it to my other gmails accounts, and (again) YES, IT WORKS !!!!

Thanks

Jaap
