Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: E-mail based Scheduling (iTIP/iMIP), defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2
Build ID: 20110902133214

Steps to reproduce:

I successfully created an event in my calendar using the following iCal (as per iTIP: 'A Minimal Published Event'  - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5546#section-4.1.1):

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//Events Calendar//iCal4j 1.0//EN
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
METHOD:PUBLISH
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20110912T143340Z
DTSTART:20110913T150000
DTEND:20110913T160000
SUMMARY:A sample test event.
TZID:Europe/London
UID:20110901T111909Z-uidGen@fe80:0:0:0:a00:27ff:feb8:699b%2
ORGANIZER:mailto:[e-mail]
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

I then tried to update this event (moving it forward one hour) with the following iCal (as per iTIP: 'Changing a Published Event'  - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5546#section-4.1.2):

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//Events Calendar//iCal4j 1.0//EN
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
METHOD:PUBLISH
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20110912T143518Z
DTSTART:20110913T160000
DTEND:20110913T170000
SUMMARY:A sample test event.
TZID:Europe/London
UID:20110901T111909Z-uidGen@fe80:0:0:0:a00:27ff:feb8:699b%2
ORGANIZER:mailto:[e-mail]
SEQUENCE:1
COMMENT:An hour later than previously planned.
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR


Actual results:

The e-mail is rendered in the message pane with the banner 'This message contains an event'.

I got the following javascript error in my error console:

Error: [Exception... "'[JavaScript Error: "item is undefined" {file: "resource://calendar/modules/calItipUtils.jsm" line: 823}]' when calling method: [calIOperationListener::onOperationComplete]"  nsresult: "0x80570021 (NS_ERROR_XPC_JAVASCRIPT_ERROR_WITH_DETAILS)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Users/Alexis/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/g6b6wfwh.default/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/components/calCompositeCalendar.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 564"  data: yes]


Expected results:

Ideally there should be some text, such as in the subject-line saying that it is an update to an existing event. Most importantly however, there should be some controls in the UI such as buttons with 'Accept' and 'Decline' that allow you to make the corresponding change to the event in your calendar if you so wish (basically something analogous to METHOD:REQUEST which *is* handled correctly).

Hi Alexis,
Do you still have the problem with TB9 and Lightning 1.1?

[Alexis O'Connor]

Hi caméléon,
I tried it again with Thunderbird v9.0.1 and Lightning 1.1 (Windows 7 SP1, 64-bit) and yes, I get the same error as I reported above.
