1577356 - Provider for Google Calendar broken with Thunderbird 68 because it did not update

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Calendar :: Provider: GData, defect)

Description

[Paul M Ruzicka]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

Updated Thunderbird to v 68

Actual results:

Provider for Google Calendar Add-On no longer works. No errors when setting up to sync, but all the calendars are grayed out and cannot be selected.

Expected results:

Nothing. My Google calendar sync should have continued working when I updated Thunderbird. It is now useless to me and I USE it all the time.

The extension provided in the second to last Known Issue from 68.0 Beta Notes worked for me when testing the TB 68.0 rc.

Thanks!

Interesting development.

After I posted that comment.
I installed TB 68.0 on my Ubuntu computer.
Created a new profile.
Deleted the contents.
Copied and pasted the folders and files from my 60.x.x profile into the new profile.
Started TB 68.0 and Lightning updated to 68.0 and Provider updated to the 68.0b6 you provided the link for.
