(wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil)

[RyanMcCarl]

(org-gcal-sync) and (org-gcal-fetch) seemed to work once for me, but then I started getting this error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil)
  org-gcal--archive-old-event()
  org-gcal-sync()
  funcall-interactively(org-gcal-sync)
  call-interactively(org-gcal-sync record nil)
  command-execute(org-gcal-sync record)
  execute-extended-command(nil "org-gcal-sync" "org-gcal-sy")
  funcall-interactively(execute-extended-command nil "org-gcal-sync" "org-gcal-sy")
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)
  command-execute(execute-extended-command)

Here are my settings (with private credentials removed):

(require 'org-gcal)
(setq org-gcal-client-id "########.apps.googleusercontent.com"
      org-gcal-client-secret "###################"
      org-gcal-file-alist '(("############@gmail.com" .  "~/notes/todo.org")
                            ("##############@import.calendar.google.com" .  "~/notes/todo.org")))

Thank you!

UPDATE: According to the backtrace, this function seems to be causing the problem:

;; Internal
(defun org-gcal--archive-old-event ()
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (while (re-search-forward org-heading-regexp nil t)
      (goto-char (cdr (org-gcal--timestamp-successor)))
      (let ((elem (org-element-headline-parser (point-max) t))
            (tobj (cadr (org-element-timestamp-parser))))
        (when (>
               (time-to-seconds (time-subtract (current-time) (days-to-time org-gcal-up-days)))
               (time-to-seconds (encode-time 0  (if (plist-get tobj :minute-end)
                                                    (plist-get tobj :minute-end) 0)
                                             (if (plist-get tobj :hour-end)
                                                 (plist-get tobj :hour-end) 24)
                                             (plist-get tobj :day-end)
                                             (plist-get tobj :month-end)
                                             (plist-get tobj :year-end))))
          (org-gcal--notify "Archived event." (org-element-property :title elem))
          (org-archive-subtree))))
    (save-buffer)))

I'm having the same issue

UPDATE: I fixed this problem by removing the file(s) referenced in the alist - and letting org-gcal create them

[minostro]

@sunwukung can you please share your config where you don't provide the file for the alist. I tried it and it's not working for me :(

[jackson15j]

@minostro: Had the same backtrace signature as you. In my case it turned out that my org/ folder permissions had changed so that the folder was no longer writeable. Quick chmod and I was able to successfully call org-gcal-fetch without failure.

Edit: Hmm... org-gcal-sync/org-gcal-fetch is writing the org files as 644 or rw-r--r--, so subsequent calls fail since they can't write to the files.

[minostro]

@jackson15j I gave up using gcal :(

[nausher]

I had this exact issue. I resolved it by following @sunwukung 's guidance to remove the already existing file(s) referenced in the alist and having org-gcal create them by itself.

Here's is my .emacs.d/init.el file (with private credentials removed) -

(require 'org-gcal)
(setq org-gcal-client-id "################################.apps.googleusercontent.com"
	org-gcal-client-secret "########################"
	org-gcal-file-alist '(("###########@gmail.com" .
	"~/schedule.org"))) ; file does not exist currently

FWIW following steps worked for me

1. Delete my org file mentioned in org-gcal-file-alist
2. touch the file
3. Run org-gcal-sync
