User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0

Steps to reproduce:

I changed a repeating event in "Calendars" app (by Readdles, for iOS, which links to Google calendar) by moving an event "by hand" (function equal to "edit this occurrence")


Actual results:

Change is not reflected in Lightning (verified it works in Google Calendar).


Expected results:

Hi, how do you connect Lightning with Google Calendar? Are you using the built-in CalDAV provider? Or are you using the Provider for Google Calendar extension? If yes, what version? Do you get any related error messages in Tools > Error Console?

I use Lightning with Thunderbird 31.5, the Google Provider for calendar version 1.0.2, Lightning version 3.3.3. Sorry if I wasn't complete in info.
In Error Console I have two messages that appear to have to do with the calendar.
The messages follow.

Can you please check whether this still happens with the latest version of Google provider?

Comment 4

[dw.benini]

Yes, just updated to 1.0.4.

- moved (by dragging) an event in iOS app
- event appears regularly in Google Calendar, along with the original recurring event (minus moved one)
- in Lightning, original event is broken: it has completely disappeared

Can you try this xpi to see if it fixes it? If not, please enable debugging https://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:GDATA_Provider#Enabling_Debugging and let me know what JSON data is sent to the server just before the error message occurs.

Hello Philipp.
Installed xpi, seems to be working - changes reflected in Lightning as expected.

Comment 7

[dw.benini]

Hello Philipp.
Lightning is working as expected still, everything seems ok.
Thought I'd let you know :)

Ok, thanks for letting me know. Closing this bug WFM, not 100% sure which of the patches fixed it but as long as it works I am happy.
