Public bug reported: Tested with calendar-app 0.4.600 on mako vivid r163.
To reproduce, use calendar-app to create an event with a reminder set to trigger "On Event", then view the ical file in ~/.local/share/evolution/calendar/system/calendar.ics. calendar-app generates valarms that have an action property, and that's all good. But as per the spec, the valarm also needs a trigger property. Without it, the reminder will never get triggered. This is currently being masked by indicator-datetime's bug #1419001: it's currently ignoring the trigger property and is unconditionally notifying at the event start time. The datetime fix should be landing soon, which will uncover this missing trigger bug as a side-effect. I'm not sure if this is being caused in calendar-app or in qtorganizer5-eds. ** Affects: ubuntu-calendar-app Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: qtorganizer5-eds (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Events with an "On Event" reminder generate invalid ical + Events with an "On Event" reminder don't generate a trigger time ** Summary changed: - Events with an "On Event" reminder don't generate a trigger time + Events with an "On Event" reminder never get a notification ** Description changed: VEVENT components generated for an "on event" reminder have no ical trigger property, causing the "on event" reminder to not be triggered at all. VALARMs with action properties are being generated, so that's all good, but as per the spec the valarms must also include a TRIGGER component. - This might be either a qtorganizer5-eds bug or calendar-app bug. + This is currently being masked by bug #1419001 because a bug in + indicator-datetime is ignoring the valarms' trigger property and + unconditionally notifying at the event's start time. datetime's fix will + be landing soon, uncovering this missing trigger bug. + + I'm not sure if this is being caused in calendar-app or in + qtorganizer5-eds. ** Also affects: qtorganizer5-eds (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qtorganizer5-eds in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440878 Title: Events with an "On Event" reminder never get a notification Status in Calendar application for Ubuntu devices: New Status in qtorganizer5-eds package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Tested with calendar-app 0.4.600 on mako vivid r163.
