Not able to create calendar event from the popup.

Bug Report: Code execution stops unexpectedly at line 198 in mzta-popup.js

Repository: ThunderAI
File: popup/mzta-popup.js
Line: 198 (commit 591a556)
URL:

ThunderAI/popup/mzta-popup.js

Line 198 in 591a556

Array.from(filteredData).slice(first_num_el, max_num_el).forEach((item, index) => {

---

Description:
I am debugging the popup script of this extension and encountered an issue where the code execution stops after the code on line 198 in mzta-popup.js. The logic at this line is unclear to me, and it appears to cause the script to halt, preventing further execution of the popup's functionality.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Load the extension in Thunderbird.
2. Open the popup triggering this script.
3. Observe that the script execution ends or pauses immediately after line 198.

Expected Behavior:
The script should continue executing past line 198 without stopping so the popup can function as intended.

Actual Behavior:
Script execution halts unexpectedly at line 198, impacting the popup's behavior and user experience.

Additional Notes:

• I am not clear on the intention of the logic at this line, so it might need clarification or correction.
• Debugger tools show the execution stop here consistently.
• Thanks for the great work on this extension!

I'm not able to reproduce the error.
Which version of ThunderAI and ThunderAI-Sparks are you using?
Which version of Thunderbird?
Which AI service are you using?
May you post the error you see in the console log?

There are no errors in your log.

In the past @micz said that Betterbird is not directly supported.
Your problem is that the popup is not opening, but in Thunderbird it works with no problems.
May you try it in Thunderbird?

[ashishsantikari]

I tried on thunderbird as well since you asked. The popup does not open. It keeps loading. same appear. No difference in the setup

[ashishsantikari]

[micz]

From the log you posted it seems that the popup opened correctly and you were able to select the "Add a new calendar event", but the strange thing is that between those lines:

[ThunderAI Logger | mzta-background] [startWorking] WorkingLevel: 1
[ThunderAI Logger | mzta-background] [startWorking] WorkingLevel: 0

you should see all the interaction with the AI.
May you confirm that the popup opens and you are able to click on the calendar menu item?
Are you selecting some text before opening the popup?
Are you using an account with the OWL addon?

May you post a screenshot of the ThunderAI options?
There are any errors in the log related to ThunderAI?

PS: thank you @evolts21 for you help!

So, I can see the popup. I can view the options. Once I select the calendar option, the pop gets smaller and only loading symbol appears on it.

Are you selecting some text before opening the popup?

No

Are you using an account with the OWL addon?

No, all my accounts are IMAP enabled and no exchange account is used.

May you post a screenshot of the ThunderAI options?

There are any errors in the log related to ThunderAI?

I don't see any.

FYI I also tried using perplexity API instead of local LLM in case if does not support(possibly) but it does not work

If you use the Classify prompt does it work?

May you post the screenshot of the ThunderAI optional permission page?

[ashishsantikari]

If you use the Classify prompt does it work?

yes

May you post the screenshot of the ThunderAI optional permission page?

[micz]

May you try to select some text before calling the prompt?
It's mandatory, ThunderAI should show a warning message asking to do it.

[micz]

This is what you should see when calling the calendar prompt without any text selected.

[ashishsantikari]

Confirming that on selection of text(appointment details) and clicking works. Though, the warning pop up does not appear.

It would be nice that like classify and auto tagging, the calendar event should also work without explicit selection.

[micz]

I filed issue #518 to add an option to do not ask for a selection.

May you tell me which addons are you using? Maybe there is one interfering with the content scripts.
Thank you!
