Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Calendar :: Lightning Only, defect)

Description

[Sam Rae]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b2) Gecko/2007121120 Firefox/3.0b2
Build Identifier: T-bird version 2.0.0.9 (20071031), lightning 0.7

Whenever I set up a network calendar I get the above error, stating that the location I selected is not a network share. It is a network share but the path entry field doesn't validate UNC paths, so it must want a normal path. The one I'm using is T:\pmdserver\network_support for example. T: is a mapped network share.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.File>New>Calendar>On the network>Next
2.Either format produces the same problems>enter location
3.Name and colour don't affect it
Actual Results:  
10 error boxes with the above message about the drive not being a network share

Expected Results:  
Created a network calendar

You need to specify a valid file:// URL for the .ics file, e.g. "file:///T:/pmdserver/network_support/calendar.ics".

That stopped it returning the error but it didn't actually create the file or put the heading into the menu.

The .ics file will not be created unless you create one event or task. 
And what do you mean with "didn't put the heading into the menu"?

Sam, any update on the information requested in Comment #3?

Maybe you could retest with a Lightning 0.8pre nightly test build? It now has a File -> Open -> Calendar File command like Sunbird that allows to browse for the .ics file (instead of having to enter the URL manually.)

No response from reporter, resolving incomplete. Please reopen the bug if you can provide the requested information and the issue still exists using Lightning 0.8.
