Categories filter results in TypeError

[girlinabillion]

Hi!

First off - thanks so much for this program - it makes my life so much easier!

I've just updated my copy of the apps script manually, so I may have missed some things. I am experiencing Issue #494 and so I have created a Proxy Cloud Run Function and updated the Helper.gs file with Jabos90's code. This is working, yay! It's the only modification I've made besides the Settings section in the Code.gs and the filters in filters.gs.

In the filters.gs file, I am able to successfully use a Summary filter, but I would prefer to use a Category filter as I feel like this is the safer option - who knows what I might name an event as later. The category filter results in the same error for every event (no matter what comparison method I use), so I'm not sure if I'm missing some code, or there's another issue with my calendar, or if I need to "enable" reading of categories, or what.

I apologize that I'm not a programmer. I write SQL queries for a living and I know just enough about copy/pasting program code to be dangerous. 😄

This is the error:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'toString')

This is the filter that I cannot get to work (I've also tried "regex" and "equals" with the same error):

`var filters = [

{
parameter: "categories",    // Exclude events categorized as "Personal".
type: "exclude",
comparison: "contains",
criterias: ["Personal"]

}
]; `

This is the temp filter I'm using now that does work:
var filters = [ { parameter: "summary", // Exclude events whose summary (subject) equals "Personal". type: "exclude", comparison: "equals", criterias: ["Personal"] } ];

Also- side question, is there a way to get an email when any errors occur? I saw something in the discussions about fatal errors vs non-fatal or something like that, but I couldn't really make sense of what I should do for these ones that end with Synced! but encountered errors along the way that result in effective failure. With the Issue #494 error - I almost had some scheduling disasters because I didn't realize that my calendar hadn't synced. Any help on that too would be appreciated.

Thank you!!

Have a look at #313
You might want to check if the categories are actually getting exported.

Well, son of a biscuit.... Yep, 365 does not export categories for "privacy reasons" ... what crap, lol.

Thank you for the super quick reply! My apologies that I wasn't able to find that solution on my own.

Would you by chance also have a helpful thread for setting up non-fatal error notifications?
