I recently download this and combined it with Lighting. I just created an event and sent it out, what I don't understand is why it is not present on my google calendar. It is present on the thunderbird calendar but not my google calendar.  Any help would be great.

I am having the same problem. I can add events in thunderbird just fine, but they won't show up on the google calendar and also they won't show up on another computer having thunderbird with the same google calendar. Basically, the event seems to only be added locally.

Never mind. I found the solution to my problem with this comment:

i have this already installed and had before but i figured it out, that when creating a new event in calendar i had to choose proper calendar.
not 'home' but the google one,so now trough synchronization it upload events created on the thunderbird calendar to google.

Didn't know there was a Home calendar by default, thought only Google Calendar would be there.

Hi Bryan,

does what Alexandre says fix it for you?

Philipp,
I want to thank you as well for this app - I just started using it and seems very useful. initially (up until last week) it worked as expected, syncing events created in lightning with gmail calendar. Starting Monday this doesn't happen anymore. my events are configured correctly, using the gmail calendar (NOT home) and attendees:



however, when I try to sync to google cal I get this error:




and the event doesn't go to google cal anymore.
am I doing something wrong? what am I missing?

thanks a lot

Marius

I am having the exact same problem, but I've noticed that the syncing issue only occurs when I "Invite Attendees" in Thunderbird. If I create a new event in Thunderbird without any additional attendees, it syncs just fine. If I Invite Attendees, not only does the event not sync with google calendar, it does not notify the other attendees.

This problem only started occurring in the past few days. Before, I could Invite Attendees and it would sync fine.

Yep, I noticed the same issue.  Started yesterday.  I can add an event fine and it syncs as long as I do not add an invitee.  Also, if I save an event, I can make changes and everything re-syncs.  But once I add an invitee, nothing else syncs from that event.

For those of you getting the "missing attendee email" error message, can you enable debugging ( see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:GDATA_Provider#Enabling_Debugging ) and also post the messages just before the error occurs? I'm interested in what JSON data is being uploaded for the failing event.

I don't get that error.  However, when I try to update an event that has an attendee added I get the following warning.

I am getting the same error. RIGHT before the error request, I get these messages (I changed the identifying details to be generic in all caps):
