693741 - Sync Lightning with Google Calendar

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Calendar :: Provider: GData, defect)

Description

Attachment: Lightning Bug.odt

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1
Build ID: 20110928134238

Steps to reproduce:

I have succeeded in setting up Lightning to sync with my Google Calendar but the times for events appear two hours later than they appear in Google Calendar. Although when I point to individual events, and look at the event details, the times are correct! This is happening with every event synced to Lightning. I use three calendars; US Holidays (from Mozilla), Church Events (from LDS.org), and Family Events (entered directly into either Lightning, Google Calendar, or via our Android phones), and all appear correctly in my Google Calendar. I'm also syncing all this to our Android phones. 


Actual results:

I've checked to be sure that the system time is correct on our computers and that the correct time zones (Pacific) have been set for both Lightning and Google Calendar. The problem persists. Anybody have any thoughts on why this is happening?


Expected results:

Event details, which are imported and displayed correctly by Lightning should be displayed correctly in the Calendar View and Task Views. Instead each most events are shown one or two hours later than it should be. Please see the attached file.

How do you access Google Calendar? Using the Provider for Google Calendar extension or using the CalDAV provider? 

Do you see any calendar or timezone related message in Tools > Error Console?

Have you configured the event dialog to show times mapped to the Lightning timezone or to show times in the original timezone? (i.e. is event dialog > options > timezone enabled/disabled)

Looking at the screenshot this is google calendar provider as it has mail notification enabled.

However please answer the questions in comment #1 rpbrown, otherwise this will be closed soon.

Original poster, have you tried Lightning's native support to Google calendar?

In the absence of feedback from the original poster or any similar reports (I haven't seen any), how much longer should this bug remain open?
