864012 - Unable to dismiss Alarms using Google Calendar

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Calendar :: Alarms, defect)

Description

[Jan Melcher]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0
Build ID: 20130329030832

Steps to reproduce:

Add a Google Calendar using the private ICAL URL (Offline Support unchecked)
Edit the properties and disable Read Only, if checked

When alarms appear, click Dismiss All


Actual results:

Nothing visible (window stays open)

Error console shows:

Error: '<error>' when calling method: [calICalendar::modifyItem]
Source File: resource://calendar/modules/calUtils.jsm -> file:///home/jan/.thunderbird/yiyyagme.default/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/calendar-js/calAlarmService.js
Line: 207

line 207 is:         return newParent.calendar.modifyItem(newParent, oldParent, null);

Window "An error has occurred" shows, with error MODIFICATION_FAILED


Expected results:

Alarm window should disappear and alarm be dismissed

Or - at least - some kind of usable error message should be found somewhere.

As reported on #667070, I have the same problem. But I doesn't get an error.

I onl get the error the first time. Then, the calendar gets set to Read-Only, and Dismissing is completely impossible (there is a bug report for that). To see the error again, I have to disable the Read-Only checkbox first.

Bug 667070 seems to be something different. It claims that alarms are deleted unexpectedly. My problem is that I can *not* dismiss the alarm. Also, I use ICAL instead of WebDAV (Google no longer supports WebDAV). When I used WebDAV, the problem did not occur.

Reporter,

Does this issue still reproduce for you when using version 102.6.1 or newer?
If yes, please provide additional details (type of calendar, etc).
Thanks

Sorry, I don't use Thunderbird at the moment, so I can't test it. As it ten years ago and did not receive any comments from someone else, I guess it's safe to close though.
