Package: lightning Version: 1:52.9.1-1~deb9u1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
with the current stable thunderbird/lightning, it is impossible for me to modify events in any CalDAV calendar. Adding and deleting items works just fine. How to reproduce: With thunderbird 52.9.1 (64-bit) and lightning 5.4.9.1, try to modify an existing event in any CalDAV calendar. Any modification triggers this error (label, time, attendee, description, ...). The URL of the CalDAV account must follow a certain pattern, however, for this error to happen: Everything works just fine for calendars like this: https://calendar.example.com/calendar/caldav.php/username/calendar But not for calendars like this: https://calendar.example.com/username/calendar Sounds weird, but I did confirm this serveral times with several different calendars. What is expected: The item should be modified on the server and the modification should be displayed in lightning. What actually happens: The modification is ignored. There is no error or info message; all changes are simply "reverted". (Note: This does also apply to dismissing reminders.) Explanation: The obvious reason for this issue is a malformed http request sent by lightning when events are modified (additions and deletions work just fine). In the Thunderbird Error Console, I can see the following: > PUT > https://calendar.example.com/username/calendar/.php/username/calendar/778d0468-e6c3-456e-8bcc-ec92adffc15f.ics > [HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed 1904ms] The correct URL should be: https://calendar.example.com/username/calendar/778d0468-e6c3-456e-8bcc-ec92adffc15f.ics This behavior is 100% reproducible and happens to all my accounts (following the abovementioned calendar URL pattern). With the wrong URL, there is no way the modification can suceed, of course. It would be nice to see an informative error message here, but the main issu Background: There is a long-standing bug in lightning (upstream) that also affected me years ago: [Updating an event results in a PUT to the wrong CalDav URL] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605201 This issue is certainly related somehow, but it is not the same, since the abovementioned bug affects the function addTargetCalendarItem in calDavCalendar.js, but this function is not used for modifying events in my case. Instead, this is the call stack, as far as I can see: > authSuccess file:///usr/lib/lightning/components/calDavCalendar.js:381:13 > calDavCalendar.prototype.sendHttpRequest > file:///usr/lib/lightning/components/calDavCalendar.js:398:13 > calDavCalendar.prototype.doModifyItem > file:///usr/lib/lightning/components/calDavCalendar.js:842:9 > calDavCalendar.prototype.modifyItem > file:///usr/lib/lightning/components/calDavCalendar.js:740:16 > calCachedCalendar.prototype.modifyItem/flagListener.onOperationComplete > file:///usr/lib/lightning/calendar-js/calCachedCalendar.js:719:21 > calStorageCalendar.prototype.getItemOfflineFlag/listener.handleCompletion > file:///usr/lib/lightning/components/calStorageCalendar.js:959:21 Please let me know if you need any additional information or want me to test a patch or another version of thunderbird/lightning. Should I also report this bug upstream at bugzilla.mozilla.org ?
