Sync with google is gone in latest version about gdata-provider HOT 11 CLOSED

Hi

Facing similar issue -

When creating an event in Thunderbird/Lightning and hitting synchronize, nothing happens.
Lightning displays the event but there is no event in Google calendar.
When creating a calendar entry in Google calendar and then synchronizing, the created appointment appears in Thunderbird.

Hi,

I have a similar problem, but only with multiple google accounts.
first account seems to work correctly (calendar synchro ok, adding modifying and suppressing event ok)
second account with other calendars does not work anymore after upgrade of thunderbird and lightning and module google provider.
I deleted it and recreated it, but during process, the calendar available shown are the ones from my first google account. If I go back in the process, the first account is selected. I select the 2nd one again and go forward in the process of adding calendars. Same thing happens, the list of calendars shown are the ones from my first account. So managing another google account with calendars is not possible

Please help, I had to suppress second account (which is a shared accounts with multiple calendars for internal use).

Hi,

I upgraded Thunderbird and now there is no sync at all between Google and Thunderbird. The Thunderbird addons page reports that the Google Calendar addon is not compatible with Thunderbird 68.3.1. (I use windows)

I miss you Google Calendar addon :/

Broke with Tbird update to 68.3.1 (32 bit), Win 10. Thunderbird AddOns 'Manage Your Extensions' shows "Provider for Google Calendar is incompatible with Thunderbird 68.3.1. Provider for Google Calendar (disabled)." Previous versions working on other computers.

Fixed for me by removing, reinstalling Provider.
Thunderbird menu: Tools > Add-Ons > Remove 'Provider for Google Calendar'.
Search for 'Provider for Google Calendar' in 'Find More Extensions' at top of window in grey. Click green 'Add to Thunderbird' to reinstall. Reenter Google Calendar passwords as requested by Provider. Restart Thunderbird. Maybe restart computer.

I updated to Thinderbird 68.3.1 (68.3.1 (32-Bit)) and the add-on stoped working for incompatibility-issues.

Shortly after though, (I opened "About Thunderbird" to retrieve the correct version number for this issue), I saw an update of thunderbird again and after the restart, the provider worked again.

So I believe there is nothing to do.

I encountered this same issue yesterday (Tue. 15 Jan. 2020), on my Ubuntu desktop.

I found a workaround on another discussion forum. After going into TB's configuration editor and setting general.useragent.compatMode.firefox to true, I can access my calendar once again.

People who are having trouble getting the Provider add-on to work for them might want to try this configuration setting and see if it fixes the problem for them. The fact that this seems to work might also point the way to a solution to the original problem.

Possibly (or possibly not) coincidentally, the calendar.google.com web site no longer works in Google Chrome on my desktop -- though it does work in Firefox on the same machine.

Ubuntu 19.10; Thunderbird 60.9.1 (64-bit); Provider add-on 4.4.2.

I entered an appointment yesterday via a web site that generated a Google Calendar popup. It did not show up in my Thunderbird/Lightning Google calendar until I clicked the "Synchronize" option along the top (above the calendar, below TB's tab list).

Hi,

It worked perfectly and after an update it didn't.
Uninstalled everything from Thunderbird and then reinstalled the latest version of thunderbird and plugins (Lightning and Provider for Google Calendar).

OS used: Linux Mint 19.3 - 64-bit
Thunderbird (downloaded from the Thunderbird website is) now version: 68.3.1 (64-bit).
Lightning version: 68.3.1.1
Provide for Google calendar: 68.2.1

Setup/subscribed in Thunderbird to my Google calendar (it is visible and I can hit Synchronize).

This is what happens:

* When creating an event in Thunderbird/Lightning and hitting synchronize, nothing happens.
  
  * Lightning displays the event but there is no event in Google calendar.

* When creating a calendar entry in Google calendar and then synchronizing, the created appointment appears in Thunderbird.

* When creating a reminder in Google calendar it does not appear in Thunderbird although the option is turned on in the thunderbird Calendar options for the added Google calender.
  
  * Strange is that old reminders set in Google appear in Lightning.
  * When deleting them in Google they disappear in Lightning.
  * New reminders are not passed from Google to Thunderbird.

Conclusion: It worked perfectly and now it kind of works.

Thanks for looking into this.
