364363 - Subscribing to or accessing a remote calendar generates 0x80004005 error

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 357252

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

Description

[Dave Roberts]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Lightning 0.3, build 2006100618

I'm trying to subscribe to a remote calendar hosted on a Zimbra installation. Lightning 0.3 running in Thunderbird 2.0b1 generates a 0x80004005 error (actually, 3 of the same error) every time I try to create the calendar or Lightning starts up thereafter.

Details from the error dialog are:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [calIIcalComponent.startTime]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Dave%20Roberts/Application%20Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/vjexqu3f.default/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/js/calItemBase.js :: anonymous :: line 514"  data: no]

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the calendars tab in the Lightning pane in Tbird.
2. Click New...
3. Fill in the dialogs appropriately for an iCal calendar. My particular URL on the Zimbra server is: https://mail.vyatta.com/zimbra/user/dave/calendar
4. Note the resulting flurry of three error dialogs reporting the error.

Actual Results:  
Calendar still exists in the list of calendars but appears to be in read-only mode. Can't actually do any scheduling with it.

Expected Results:  
Add the calendar in read-write mode.

From looking at the error message this is probably the problem with the missing timezone definition and therefore the ics file is invalid. Please attach the (anonymized) file here so we can be sure that's the problem.

Nominating for marking INVALID (see bug 356987).

Dave (Reporter), We are going to have to mark this bug as invalid unless we can get an anonymized version of the ICS file that you were using. Please attach it to this bug.  Thanks.

Attachment: anonymized calendar file

Hopefully, the act of anonymizing this didn't eliminate the problem from the test file. Unfortunately, I have no good way to test it in the anonymized form.

This is the same issue as reported in bug 357252. If you try  nightly build you will find that this has been fixed.

Trying latest nightly build from 1-Feb-2007 did not resolve this. This is the build found here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8/windows-xpi/

It still results in the following error:
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [calIIcalComponent.startTime]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Dave%20Roberts/Application%20Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/vjexqu3f.default/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/js/calItemBase.js :: anonymous :: line 514"  data: no]

The bug is fixed in version 0.4a1 and higher. 
You are currently using version 0.3.1pre that doesn't contain the bugfix.

Please try a build from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/nightly/2007-01-21-03-mozilla1.8/ that should be a 0.4a1 build.

The 0.4a1 build solved that. Thanks.
