643390 - ICS calendar on network share is occasionally truncated

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 389281

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

Description

[mozilla-bugs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.15
Build Identifier: Lightning 1.0b2

We are infrequently seeing calendars truncated, which are ics files on mapped network drives (e.g. file:///h:/my-calendar.ics).

This has happened for some time through a variety of Lightning builds up to and including 1.0b2.

Symptoms are that occasionally the (previously large) calendar file is reduced to around 4k, with just one or two events. I'm not alerted to this immediately by users, so it may be that the calendar is corrupted and doesn't load, and is then completely overwritten when the user adds a new event.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Could you try with the latest nightly build of Lightning (1.0b4pre, comm-central) and a Thunderbird 3.3 Alpha or later? I believe we have fixed this bug recently, see bug 389281 comment 23 and later.

I'm afraid I can't really test the latest builds of Lightning/Thunderbird, as the truncation happens infrequently (once every few months), and it isn't an environment in which I can run alpha software for that long.

I'm glad to hear it's probably been fixed, though, good job. I suppose this can probably be closed, and I'll re-open it if I find the issue still exists when I'm able to move to Thunderbird 3.3 / Lightning 1.0 (I'll leave that to someone on the Calendar team, as I'm not familiar with bug-tracker etiquette here).
