Hi,

Thank you very much for maintaining and updating the tbsync packages in
Debian. The current version of webext-dav4tbsync is now compatible with
thunderbird 78 but it cannot be used as it seems to be out of sync with
webext-tbsync.

When I try to add a new "CalDAV & CardDAV" account tbsync tells me:
---
Provider "CalDAV & CardDAV" for TbSync is not yet installed.

Click on the following link to open the info page of the missing
synchronization provider. There you will find further information about
the provider and you will have the option to install it:

https://tbsync.jobisoft.de/beta/TB78/DAV-4-TbSync.xpi

[...]
---


I've already set-up CalDAV accounts a while ago when it was still
working. These accounts are shown in tbsync with a red exclamation mark
(instead of being active) and the following error is displayed:

---
This account requires the DAV synchronization provider, which is
currently not installed.

https://tbsync.jobisoft.de/beta/TB78/DAV-4-TbSync.xpi
---


Although, of course, the most recent Debian packages for
webext-dav4tbsync (1.23-1, but probably not the mentioned beta version)
and webext-tbsync (2.18-2) are installed and show up in TB's add-ons
section as enabled.

I would be great to have working set of tbsync packages in Debian again.

Kind regards
Tom

Which branch do you use (buster or sid)

Which version of webext-tbsync and webext-eas4tbsync do you have installed?

Regards

I'm also having problems with this on sid. When I open the thunderbird addon
manager, I see tbsync, dav4tbsync, and eas4tbsync all installed and enabled.
All of these come from the debian packages. However, when I open the tbsync
config window it claims that dav4tbsync is not installed. There is no such
problem with eas4tbsync (webext-eas4tbsync 1.20-1), which works fine.

Hello,

Can you provide a screenshot of the window with that message. Please
provide another screenshot of

Options - Add-Ons

where I can see the status of that packages.

I can't reproduce this problem.

Regards

Hi Mechtilde,

I've attached 3 screenshots: the first shows the addons page. The second shows the tbsync preferences window with that message. The selected account, labelled Google, is one that I set up earlier this year when I had thunderbird 68 and older versions of the tbsync packages when everything was working. Now that account has the red warning icon and the message shown. The third screenshot shows what I see if I try to add a new CalDAV account in tbsync.

Cheers,
Carl

I've just noticed this message in the debug log for tbsync about the
provider failing to load:

    ** Mon Nov 23 2020 17:43:57 GMT+1100 (AEDT) **

Hi

Thanks, Mechtilde for your fast reply and sorry for my delayed answer. I
didn't realize I had to subscribe to "my own" bugs...

Thanks, Carl for providing the necessary information in the meantime.

I'm using Backports of your tbsync-packages for Buster (with the latest
thunderbird).

But of course, I've tested under sid as well (a fresh install in a new
VM before I opened the bug) with the same result.

I'm happy to help testing or provide more info.

Regards
Tom

Hi Mechtilde,

I've just upgraded to tbsync 2.19-1 and now I have the opposite problem: tbsync
recognises that dav4tbsync is is installed, but claims that eas4tbsync is
missing.

The situation for the EAS provider is now similar to what I reported above. The
debug log shows:

    ** Wed Nov 25 2020 09:14:49 GMT+1100 (AEDT) **
    [EventLog] : FAILED to load provider <eas>
    API version mismatch, TbSync@2.4 vs eas@Beta 2.4

    ** Wed Nov 25 2020 09:14:52 GMT+1100 (AEDT) **
    [Loaded provider] : dav::CalDAV & CardDAV (1.23)

There's also a message in the log concerning the DAV provider, though it's
perhaps unrelated:

    Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getCharPref]

    promisifiedHttpRequest/<@chrome://dav4tbsync/content/includes/network.js:515:64
    promisifiedHttpRequest@chrome://dav4tbsync/content/includes/network.js:494:12
    sendRequest@chrome://dav4tbsync/content/includes/network.js:428:33

I wonder if it's just that the providers need a stricter versioned dependency
relationship with the main tbsync package to reflect whatever API version
checks tbsync is doing internally?

Cheers,
Carl

Hi everyone,

just installed webext-dav4tbsync on buster (incl. tbsync 2.18-1~deb10u1)
and was bitten by this bug.

Then I downloaded tbsync 2.18 from TB addons, unzip'ed both tbsync xpi
and ran a diff on them:

Ok - so - the API string in buster is actually:

$ rgrep "2\.4"
dav/content/provider.js:    static getApiVersion() { return "2.4"; }
eas/content/provider.js:    static getApiVersion() { return "Beta 2.4"; }
dpkg/content/tbsync.jsm:  apiVersion: "Beta 2.4",

So now EAS complains for me :-) But since I don't need that, I removed
it. But IMHO neither webext-eas4tbsync nor webext-tbsync should be
"Beta". I guess it's fixed for sid, where webext-tbsync is newer and
webext-eas4tbsync got a "version bump to 2.4" in 1.20-2.
