GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 301994
can't add recurring meeting invitation to calendar
Last modified: 2006-03-08 06:55:50 UTC
Please describe the problem: I've received a recurring meeting invitation, and attempted to add it to my calendar. Evo doesn't give any error messages, but when I check my calendar, the meeting is not there. Most other invitations have no problems. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information: I can forward the invitation email privately, but would prefer not to attach it here. Let me know who to send it to.
You can mail me the email to asarfraaz@novell.com Also, see if you can get any E2K_DEBUG traces from exchange while performing this operation. Also, check that you have selected the exchange calendar in the meeting invitation when you are accepting it. The procedure for getting the E2K_DEBUG traces is at http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/bugs.shtml
here are E2K_DEBUG messages: when I select the message: requesting object classid: attachment.0x84356f0.3548.alternative.1 object_found: 1 requesting object classid: itip:///.0x84356f0.3548.alternative.1 Increasing itip formatter search count to 1 Increasing itip formatter search count to 2 Increasing itip formatter search count to 3 Increasing itip formatter search count to 4 Increasing itip formatter search count to 5 Increasing itip formatter search count to 6 object_found: 1 Decreasing itip formatter search count to 5 Decreasing itip formatter search count to 4 Decreasing itip formatter search count to 3 Decreasing itip formatter search count to 2 Decreasing itip formatter search count to 1 Decreasing itip formatter search count to 0 when I attempt to accept the inviation: ** Message: Response 1 ** Message: Number of attachments is 0 ... doesn't seem to be terribly informative. I'll forward you the email now, let me know if you don't get it reasonably soon.
one other thing to mention is that I use filters to move all my exchange emails into a separate IMAP account, and then try to accept invitations from there. Not sure if that is relevant though, since most invitations work fine, and this one doesn't work if I move it back into the exchange account inbox, either.
did you get the invitation? (just wanted to make sure the mail went through)
Poornima, please replicate this and confirm this bug.
marking this for 2.5. We probably need to to re-look at the design of recurrence appointments.
Marking this bug as 'New' as it is reproducible with 'Joe Barnett's ics file.
Have sent a patch for the bug 273057 which might fix this also.
This has been fixed now.
