    Victor - 2008-09-26

    In the newer version of sunbird 0.9 (actually the lightning 0.9 plugin for thunderbird), I'm now getting a little exclamation mark in a yellow triangle by a few of my davical calendars (not all of them, though).  When I mouse over the exclamation marks, I get a "Calendar xxx is momentarily not available" message.  0.8 didn't give me this message.

    ...But the calendar _seems_ to be working just fine.  I can still add and modify and delete events.  I don't know if this is a 0.9 sunbird issue or a davical issue.  Not sure how to find out, either.  Let me know if you need additional info.

      Hi,

      I have the same problem : after an (automatic) upgrade of Sunbird to version 0.9, some of my calendars also have this warning icon ...

      After some debugging, I'm now able to see more precisely the problem : there are some events in these problematic calendars that Sunbird is not able to display.

      In Sunbird 0.8 there is no error message (unless you enable the debug log) but those specific events are not displayed. The debug log says something like :
      'no parent item for rid=2008/04/21 11:00:00 /mozilla.org/20071231_1/Europe/Zurich isDate=0'

      In Sunbird 0.9, there's this mentionned warning icon and the debug log says :
      'Error code : 0x80004005. Description : failed to retrieve item'

      The problem seems to come from a 'RECURRENCE-ID' tag of those events, that Sunbird is not able to understand. In my case, the RECURRENCE-ID tag of this event is :

      RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=/mozilla.org/20071231_1/Europe/Zurich:20080421T110000
      DTSTART;TZID=/mozilla.org/20071231_1/Europe/Zurich:20080421T110000
      DTEND;TZID=/mozilla.org/20071231_1/Europe/Zurich:20080421T123000

      But I have no idea what is this tag, why only a few events have it, and if this issue comes from the Sunbird side or from the davical ...

      Any idea ?

        I was able to work around this problem by exporting my calendar to an ics file from the davical interface, then importing the ics file to a new blank calendar using sunbird (rather than trying to import it using the davical web interface).

        If I try to import the ics file using the davical web interface, events don't display in sunbird as cpasseri describes, and I get that warning icon.  But if I import the same ics file using Sunbird, it all works.

          Seems to be fixed with latest nightflies of 0.9 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454757
