1792271 - ics import error for line ORGANIZER;CN=""

Status: NEW

(Calendar :: ICAL.js Integration, defect)

Description

[Chnutz]

Attachment: testcal.ics

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:105.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/105.0

Steps to reproduce:

Try to add ics-calendar or import .ics-file in two ways:
1.) open an ics-file with thunderbird in WIN 10 PRO 64.
n
2) try to syncronize this file from network

Actual results:

When I try to open the ics-file with thunderbird, an error "Import aus C:\Users\Chnutz\Desktop\testcal.ics nicht möglich. Es gibt keine importierbaren Einträge in der Datei." appears. (Translation: import [...] not possible. There are no importable items it the file).
I tested the file in https://icalendar.org/validator.html and it hits perfect the RFC 5545 specification.
I tested the import in another calendar-tool and it worked perfect.

When I synchrobize the file no error appears but no dates are shown either.

I attach my test file below.

Expected results:

The dates should be imported or synchronized in thunderbird calendar.

I get

Calendar: ParserError: Missing parameter value in 'ORGANIZER;CN=""''ParserError: Missing parameter value in 'ORGANIZER;CN=""'' when calling method: [calIICSService::parseICS] when parsing

The line is ORGANIZER;CN=""

I guess it should just ignore empty params

Thank you for this information.

Ignoring this empty parameter would be nice to have with the next TB update :-)

BTW: The specification gives a "MUST NOT be specified in an iCalendar object that specifies only a time zone definition or that defines calendar components that are not group-scheduled components, but are components only on a single user's calendar." for this parameter but the icalendar.org validator on the same website doesn't throw an error or warning when the parameter is empty in any case:
