Build ID: 20150812163655

Win 7 Pro, new machine (also retired machine)
Often cannot post new calendar event, especially first of the day.


Actual results:

Working remedy- unsubscribe and then resubscribe to each calendar.

Hello Marty, do you get any error messages in Tools > Error Console when trying to save the event? Could you check if the calendar is marked as not available or marked as read-only using the left pane in the calendar tab?

Hi Stephan,
Yes, the calendars are checked, available, and not Read Only.
Yes, I get this error in the Log:

Timestamp: 8/30/2015 1:18:50 PM
Error: TypeError: defaultReminders is undefined
Source File: chrome://gdata-provider/content/gdata-calendar-event-dialog.js
Line: 163

The Reminders Default is indeed set at OFF, and 15 mins.
If I change the Reminder selection in the New Event dialog from Default Reminder to No Reminder, it will save.

Same error message is reported in Bug 1189840, maybe both problems have the same cause.

Comment 5

[marty]

Perhaps, but while they report one of the same error messages, they have different and additional problems. They do not report the inability to save an event

Any progress on this?
Recap -
With Default Reminders in Options set to Off, New Calendar events will not save when Reminder is set to Default.

In config, preference-  calendar.registry.(xxx).settings.defaultReminders has a value of [].

Can you try the xpi in attachment 8650423 [details] to see if it fixes the issue?

Thanks Philipp,
The last few items I've entered actually worked (without the new XPI).
What comes to mind that might have changed is the latest TB update to V38.3. For some reason it disabled all my plug-ins, compatible or not. I had to manually reenable them. I will pay closer attention over the next week or so.

However now I've noticed that some new calendar events that were entered on my mobile devices, or events on someone else's shared calendar, do not show up on my desktop TB/Provider. The remedy is to remove and reinstall the calendar.

As this issue is about the defaultReminders being undefined and that works for you I'm marking this WFM. If the other problem is still an issue please search for related bugs and file a new one if needed.
