507215 - Creating repeating event/task fails [Status Code: 400 Bad Request Body: Entry can not contain both gd:when and gd:recurrence elements]

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Calendar :: Provider: GData, defect)

Description

[Justin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.5.1 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Provider for Google Calendar 0.5.1

I get an error message that the calendar won't sync if I create a new event and add a custom repeat with Google Provider for Lightning/Sunbird. If I create the event, save it, and then reopen it and add the repeat later, it will sync.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new event in Lightning or Sunbird in a calendar that is linked to Google Calendar with Provider for Google Calendar.
2. Before saving and closing, add a custom repeat to the event.
3. Try to save and close and get an error message.
Actual Results:  
I get a message that states "An error occurred when writing to the calendar XXXX!" Where XXXX = name of the calendar.

Under "details" it states: "Error number: MODIFICATION_FAILED" and then "Description:" 

Expected Results:  
The event should have appeared in the calendar after the "New Event" dialogue closed.

Using Windows XP Pro 64 bit, if that even matters. Since this occurs in both Sunbird and Lightning, with Provider for Google Calendar, I assume the common problem is with Provider, however, I understand that it might occur with other calendar syncing and may be due to common code between Sunbird and Lightning and not actually due to Provider itself.

Please enable calendar.debug.log and calendar.debug.log.verbose (advanced config editor), restart, and then check your error console for more debug messages.

Maybe the following entry in the German forum <http://www.sunbird-kalender.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=12174#p12174> helps:

Attachment: Fix - v1

Interesting, I wonder when they made this mandatory. I guess I'll have to fix this for 0.5.x too.

These bugs are likely targeted at Lightning 1.0b1, not Lightning 1.0. If this change was done in error, please adjust the target milestone to its correct value. To filter on this bugspam, you can use "lightning-10-target-move".
