Google Calendar with recurring events crashes on refresh

[jacksenechal]

My Google Calendar crashes with the following error if I use the private calendar link, or if I make all events public. I can work around this by setting the calendar to public but showing only free/busy data, and then manually setting events to public when I create them.

My conjecture is that the error comes from the fact that I have certain events set to repeat forever. The obvious solution would be to offer a cut-off date in the calendar admin panel, defaulting to several years in advance. Not sure how easy / hard it would be to implement.

Your conjecture is good and I'm sorry I didn't see this before. I'll add an event horizon.

Thank you. I've fixed that (you might need to set Radiant::Config['event_calendar.recurrence_limit'] if 10 years is the wrong limit) in the 0.9 branch that is going to merge in shortly.

[spanner]

you should find this is fixed now. thanks for the report.
