Continue processing after calendar.events.insert errors

[afentoe]

Would it be possible, after logging the error, to continue processing the next events and other calendars?

I have a certain event, which causes this error:

Adding new event "some-uid"

GoogleJsonResponseException: API call to calendar.events.insert failed with error: The specified time range is empty.
at unknown function
at callWithBackoff(Helpers:877:16)
at processEvent(Helpers:227:20)
at unknown function
at startSync(Code:203:15)

After this error, the scripts stops and does not continue.

So this is not about fixing the error which caused the exception, but better exception handing and continue processing.

FYI: The error was caused by importing an event with a DTEND which is before the DTSTART.

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20220829T150000
DTEND:20220829T110000
LAST-MODIFIED:20220730T213041
UID:[email protected]
END:VEVENT

Same request for enhancement: I had the script fail because of an "A provided value exceeds the allowed size limit" error. I found and fixed the affected events, but would like to see the script simply log and continue.

In Helpers.gs, on line 939, could we replace throw err; with return null;? That way, when it encounters an error in an event, it will skip the event and move on.

This fixes some of my issue with partial broken external ics feeds, it just carries on and imports what it can import
Only I added a log to be able to see that events are broken:

    catch(err){
      err = err.message  || err;
      if ( err.includes("HTTP error") ) {
        Logger.log(err);
        return null;
      } else if ( err.includes("is not a function")  || !backoffRecoverableErrors.some(function(e){
              return err.toLowerCase().includes(e);
            }) ) {
        //throw err; // disable to carry on after an error
        Logger.log( "Error [" + err  +"]");
        return null;
      } else if ( tries > maxRetries) {
        Logger.log(`Error, giving up after trying ${maxRetries} times [${err}]`);
        return null;
        ```
