Hi,

I have never contributed to Calendar.

Working on this bug would give me a deeper understanding of Mozilla calendar code base. I have a fair grasp of JS.
Please, guide me on how to start.

Hi Hemant, thank you for your interest in calendaring! This bug is really trivial, you just need to get rid of the migration code at https://dxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/calendar/base/modules/calProviderUtils.jsm#535

The pref lightning-main-in-composite and the other old pref are not being used anymore. You should also search dxr to see if these pref names are mentioned in other places in the calendar codebase and remove them there also.

If you want to find out how to set up a build environment, please check out https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Simple_Thunderbird_build

You can find me on irc.mozilla.org in the channel #calendar if you have questions.

Have you installed the MAPI headers? See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites#Required_Tools how and where to installe them.

Thanks Richard, build is successful now.But on running |./mozilla/mach run| it says "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."

Never tried mach run. You can also start it in the console with "path/to/your/objdir/thunderbird.exe -p" If you have already a TB session running you can add -no-remote.

I tried that way but the same dialogue box pops up.
Here is what I tried:

HP@hemant /c/thunderbird-src/comm-central
$ ./mozilla/mach run
 0:00.63 /Users/HP/mozilla/comm-central/objdir-tb\dist\bin\thunderbird.exe -no-remote -profile /Users/HP/mozilla/comm-central/objdir-tb\tmp\scratch_user

If we install thunderbird from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ the profile directory is in ../Users/../AppData/Roaming/
folder and can be fixed easily, if there are profile issues.
But here I do not know where exactly profile directory is located for the build.Sorry ,if I am wrong here.

Comment 9

[Richard Marti (:Paenglab)]

Try only /Users/HP/mozilla/comm-central/objdir-tb\dist\bin\thunderbird.exe -no-remote -p . Then the profile manager should appear and you can select or create a profile. Or you can also doublec lick thunderbird.exe through Explorer and it opens the same profile as the installed TB.

Just removing the function is obviously not enough, you also need to remove all callers.
