Error in Fullcalendar with json and web2py - json

Question

I´m calling:
events: {
url: '/CondominioVip/evento/evento_json.json',
error: function() {
alert('there was an error while fetching events!');
}
}
I've also tried to add type: 'POST but it didn't work either.
My controller:
def evento_json():
events= "[{'title':'event1','start':'2010-01-01'},{'title':'event3','start':'2010-01-09 12:30:00','allDay':False}]"
return events
Test call from browser (http://localhost:8000/CondominioVip/evento/evento_json.json):
[{'title':'event1','start':'2010-01-01'},{'title':'event3','start':'2010-01-09 12:30:00','allDay':False}]

I'm out of options. Any help would be apprecianted.
Update:
I've installed the JsonView extension on Chrome, so returning a string is not considered a json response.
I made some changes:
def evento_json():
rows = db(evento.id>0).select(evento.id,evento.titulo,evento.data_hora_inicio,evento.data_hora_fim)
events = []
for row in rows:
event = {'title': row['titulo'],
'start': row['data_hora_inicio'],
'end': row['data_hora_fim'],
'allDay': False,
'url': URL(c='evento', f='index', args=[row['id']], extension=False)}
events.append(event)
return events
But web2py throws an error. I´ve printed "events" and "json(events)" before send it to generic.json, and the format is exactly what fullcalendar expects.
The way I found to stop the error is:
In controller:
def evento_json():
import datetime
start = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(int(request.vars['start'])).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
end = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(int(request.vars['end'])).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
set = db((evento.id>0) &
(evento.data_hora_inicio >= start) &
(evento.data_hora_fim <= end))
if (not auth.has_membership(auth.id_group(role='site_admin'), auth.user.id)) and \
(not auth.has_membership(auth.id_group(role='cond_admin'), auth.user.id)):
set = set(evento.flag_disp==True)
rows = set.select(evento.id,
evento.titulo,
evento.data_hora_inicio,
evento.data_hora_fim,
evento.flag_disp)
events = []
for row in rows:
event = {'title': row['titulo'],
'start': row['data_hora_inicio'],
'end': row['data_hora_fim'],
'allDay': False,
'url': URL(c='evento', f='index', args=[row['id']], extension=False),
'color': 'blue' if row['flag_disp'] is True else 'red'}
events.append(event)
if events:
from gluon.serializers import json
return XML(json(events))
else:
return '{}'
And create a view evento/evento_json.json with the following:
{{=response._vars)}}
It works! But seems a bug to me. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

Answer 1

Maybe try:
events= "[{'title':'event1','start':'2010-01-01'},{'title':'event3','start':'2010-01-09T12:30:00Z','allDay':false}]"
(Changed the event3 start date/time to ISO8601 format as per the API, and changed "False" to "false".)
