CalDAV problem with recurring events: Jolla -> Baikal -> Thunderbird -> Baikal -> Jolla
asked 2014-11-18 13:35:09 +0200
I have encountered reproducable problems, when syncing CalDAV events from Jolla (1.0.8.21, Tahkalampi) via Baikal (0.2.7) to Thunderbird (31.2.0) and back:
- the end time is equal to the start time (although the event should last 1 hour)
- daily recurrence for 3 days is lost
- the reminder "30 minutes before event" is lost
Steps to reproduce:
On Jolla GUI, create event:
- Event name: "Test recurring three times"
- Event location: empty
- Description: "Created on Jolla"
- Start date: 18.11.14
- Start time: 12:00:00
- End date: 18.11.14
- End time: 13:00:00
- Allday: No
- Recurring: Every day
- Recurrence end: 20.11.2014
- Reminder: 30 min before event
In Jolla db (/home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Calendar/mkcal/db):
CREATE TABLE Components(ComponentId INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, Notebook TEXT, Type TEXT, Summary TEXT, Category TEXT, DateStart INTEGER, DateStartLocal INTEGER, StartTimeZone TEXT, HasDueDate INTEGER, DateEndDue INTEGER, DateEndDueLocal INTEGER, EndDueTimeZone TEXT, Duration INTEGER, Classification INTEGER, Location TEXT, Description TEXT, Status INTEGER, GeoLatitude REAL, GeoLongitude REAL, Priority INTEGER, Resources TEXT, DateCreated INTEGER, DateStamp INTEGER, DateLastModified INTEGER, Sequence INTEGER, Comments TEXT, Attachments TEXT, Contact TEXT, InvitationStatus INTEGER, RecurId INTEGER, RecurIdLocal INTEGER, RecurIdTimeZone TEXT, RelatedTo TEXT, URL TEXT, UID TEXT, Transparency INTEGER, LocalOnly INTEGER, Percent INTEGER, DateCompleted INTEGER, DateCompletedLocal INTEGER, CompletedTimeZone TEXT, DateDeleted INTEGER, extra1 STRING, extra2 STRING, extra3 INTEGER); select * from components; 37|e0f9a123-1136-45d7-8b8f-3c0afb0d88e9|Event|Test recurring three times||1416308400|1416312000|Europe/Berlin|0|1416312000|1416315600|Europe/Berlin|0|0||Created on jolla|0|255.0|255.0|0||1416305021|1416305021|1416305021|0||||0|0|0|||urn:x-ical:8db2134e-7b77-4afb-87b5-8959ade43add|8db2134e-7b77-4afb-87b5-8959ade43add|0|0|0|0|0||0|||0
After sync from jolla to baikal in Baikal db:
CREATE TABLE calendarobjects (

calendardata blob,

, etag text, size integer, componenttype text, firstoccurence integer, lastoccurence integer);
select * from calendarobjects;

And after sync from baikal to thunderbird in Thunderbird GUI:
Click open event and Edit all occurences. Check event data: Everything correctly synced from jolla to thunderbird, except reminder. This one is gone. I am no CalDAV export, so I don't know if this is a jolla or a thunderbird problem.
Now change the description of the event from "Created on jolla" to "Created on jolla, edit with thunderbird".
And after sync back from thunderbird to baikal, you can find in Baikal db:
CREATE TABLE calendarobjects (
id integer primary key asc,
calendardata blob,
uri text,
calendarid integer,
lastmodified integer
, etag text, size integer, componenttype text, firstoccurence integer, lastoccurence integer);
select * from calendarobjects;

And if you sync further from baikal to jolla, you can find in Jolla Db:
CREATE TABLE Components(ComponentId INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, Notebook TEXT, Type TEXT, Summary TEXT, Category TEXT, DateStart INTEGER, DateStartLocal INTEGER, StartTimeZone TEXT, HasDueDate INTEGER, DateEndDue INTEGER, DateEndDueLocal INTEGER, EndDueTimeZone TEXT, Duration INTEGER, Classification INTEGER, Location TEXT, Description TEXT, Status INTEGER, GeoLatitude REAL, GeoLongitude REAL, Priority INTEGER, Resources TEXT, DateCreated INTEGER, DateStamp INTEGER, DateLastModified INTEGER, Sequence INTEGER, Comments TEXT, Attachments TEXT, Contact TEXT, InvitationStatus INTEGER, RecurId INTEGER, RecurIdLocal INTEGER, RecurIdTimeZone TEXT, RelatedTo TEXT, URL TEXT, UID TEXT, Transparency INTEGER, LocalOnly INTEGER, Percent INTEGER, DateCompleted INTEGER, DateCompletedLocal INTEGER, CompletedTimeZone TEXT, DateDeleted INTEGER, extra1 STRING, extra2 STRING, extra3 INTEGER); select * from components; 37|e0f9a123-1136-45d7-8b8f-3c0afb0d88e9|Event|Test recurring three times||1416308400|1416312000|Europe/Berlin|0|1416308400|1416312000|Europe/Berlin|0|0||Created on jolla, edit with thunderbird|0|255.0|255.0|0||1416305021|1416306787|1416306787|0||||0|0|0|||urn:x-ical:8db2134e-7b77-4afb-87b5-8959ade43add|8db2134e-7b77-4afb-87b5-8959ade43add|0|0||0|0|0|0|||0
And in the Jolla GUI, you can see that all correct, except:
- "end time" is now "12:00", should be "13:00"
- "recurring" is now "Once", should be "Every Day"
- "recurrence end" is no more shown (guess, since no recurrence)
I am no CalDAV expert, so I can't say where the error exactly happens. But I hope, providing as much debug info as possible, the Jolla CalDAV experts can find out where something goes wrong. I can only say: Creating an event on jolla, syncing to thunderbird, changing the description there and syncing it back to jolla should not lead to the three data-changes mentioned above.
