1470424 - Provider for Google calendar 4.1b4 and higher broken, authentication not remembered anymore / prompts for access on each Thunderbird startup

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1468069

(Calendar :: Provider: CalDAV, defect)

Description

[Arthur K. (he/him)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1301422 +++

I have two google calendars set up and now it's asking for OAuth2 authentication every time I start up Thunderbird. I had been testign with TB60 betas from b3 on to b8. The common thread is that between Provider for Google Calendars 4.1b3 and 4.1b4, something changed to cause this bustage.

I am able to revert back to Provider for Google Calendars 4.1b3 and no longer get the repeated prompts on each startup of TB (presently using TB60 b8.

I see this in the console, which might be of interest.
