Hi! It looks like there is a permissions error when trying to access /usr/local/bin to run iCalBuddy.

Are you comfortable with the command line? If not, this is going to be a bit challenging to troubleshoot.

First thing to try is specifying the full path to iCalBuddy

In the terminal run which iCalBuddy. It should return the full path (if it doesn't that mean iCalBuddy was not installed properly). Copy that full path and replace iCalBuddy in the User Template command with it. See if that changes your error.

There are multiple other things that could be causing this error, but I hope it's as simple as this.

I'm trying to do the exact same thing. As @shabegom suggested, you need to call icalBuddy by it's absolute path. It should look like something like this:

However, I have another problem that I'm unable to solve for couple of days. When I insert this template, icalBuddy cannot find any calendars. I can see it in Obsidian console:

The exact same command works in my terminal (iTerm). However the first time I ran it, macOS prompted me about permission stuff. After allowing iTerm to access my calendar, icalBuddy returns events as I wanted. But, macOS doesn't prompted me about permission stuff for Obsidian. In macOS System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Calendar tab, I see the apps that I allowed before and there is no button to manually add an app :/

Has anyone encountered this kind of permission issue before?

Hi Thanks a lot @shabegom I have tried adding the full path but same issue I have installed icalbuddy with hombrew In terminal the command works perfectly Any other idea? Thanks Patrick

@dgurkaynak that seems weird that the container app needs permission and not the iCalBuddy script itself. I know with some of those screens you can drag/drop apps on the list to add them.

@pillouz01 ah homebrew. Ok.

So a couple of common things that break shell scripts:

1. Specify the full path to the shell you want to use in the templater settings (zsh, bash, etc)
2. The most common problem is that the script needs access to your $PATH which for some reason the child process doesn't read properly (see #512). The fix is to explicitly set the $PATH before running the command (something like PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin).

If that doesn't work, maybe it is really just a permissions issue and you need to chmod the directory throwing the error? Seems odd that your user wouldn't have permissions tho.

Hi Thanks a lot for the answer I took another approach in that case

Copy the fixed icalbudy binary in a folder and create my custom action

It works fine like that for me

Thanks a lot !!

Regards Patrick
