Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Calendar :: Provider: ICS/WebDAV, defect)

Description

[Attila Bakos]

Attachment: vcal.txt

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Build ID: 20160105164030

Steps to reproduce:

I created a new calendar from an online ICS source. It contains TV shows, I attached the file to this report.


Actual results:

The shows get imported, however there is one show with timezone Canada/Atlantic, every time Lightning parses it it throws an error in the console and shows a popup error message.

This is the error from the console:

Timestamp: 2016.01.14. 10:01:57
Error: Couldn't find Canada/Atlantic
Source: file:///C:/Users/ATTILA/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/edf927l4.default/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/components/calTimezoneService.js
Line: 189


Expected results:

To my knowledge Canada/Atlantic is a valid timezone, Lightning should be able to import that.

The reported error is correct. Your sample file references timezone Canada/Atlantic but doesn't provide a definition for it.

The other timezones without definition (America/New_York, Europe/London) don't throw an error because there is a definition for them in the Time Zone Database (https://www.iana.org/time-zones) that is shipped with Lightning.

I'm not sure how a definition should look like but I'll contact the support of the ical provider. In the meantime, is there a way to suppress the popup error message?
