3. Not all tasks fields are updated

Not all tasks fields are updated

  • P

    I just updated to 0.9.1.3 and this issue is occurring again

    Re: DAVDroid stopped working at initial sync of tasks

    My full exception is below

    Can you please improve the exception reporting to show the ID and title of the task entry that is causing the exception? Then I could check if the exception is accurate or not. I looked through the list of tasks in another client and couldn’t see any task with DUE < DTSTART

    Also, I tried to access this web site from Firefox and it doesn’t work, when I clicked to reply or post nothing happened, having a web site that doesn’t work in Firefox gives a really bad impression.

    Probably the other client has fixed the invalid state (DUE < DTSTART) itself. Can you look at the server directly?

    If you enable verbose logs, you will get the file names of the iCalendars which are received and parsed by DAVdroid.

    Of course it would be useful to see the file name of the resource in the exception. High-quality patches are always welcome, but please use the v1 branch if you’re going to make one.

    Also, I tried to access this web site from Firefox and it doesn’t work, when I clicked to reply or post nothing happened, having a web site that doesn’t work in Firefox gives a really bad impression.

    I use this Web site with Firefox only. Probably it couldn’t load completely (bad connection or some other condition that it is not directly related to the Web site).

    Yes, but not until later

    Looking at Firefox’s console there are various errors:

    Then please do so. DAVdroid won’t make up a story, the exception is quite clear.

    Also, I don’t think this is a “regression” because DAVdroid doesn’t crash anymore, but reports the error to the user as intended.

    Did you to clear your cache or do a full reload? Or maybe some FF extension that blocks essential parts of the page? We use this forum from various devices (mobile and desktop), with various Firefox versions, and there have never been problems. For more information and support, please see https://nodebb.org/ (we’re currently running version 1.0).

    I used adb logcat to watch the log while doing the sync

    From the log, I was able to identify the task ID:

    I/davdroid(30063): [syncadapter.TasksSyncManager] Updating 5......7c.ics in local tasklist
W/ContentResolver(29998): Failed to get type for: content://org.dmfs.tasks (Unsupported URI: content://org.dmfs.tasks)
E/DatabaseUtils(29998): Writing exception to parcel
E/DatabaseUtils(29998): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: DUE must not be < DTSTART
E/DatabaseUtils(29998):         at org.dmfs.provider.tasks.processors.tasks.TaskValidatorProcessor.verifyCommon(Unknown Source)

    Then I used wget to fetch the ics entry from the DAViCal server manually and save it to disk.

    I found that DUE == DTSTART

    Looking at the task in IceOwl-extension (Mozilla Lightning), the Start and Due Date times are both set to the same value with the same timezone. The checkbox next to Start is ticket and the checkbox next to Due Date is not ticked, the Due Date values are gray in Mozilla Lightning

    In the ics file, I notice that DTSTART exists but DUE is not present anywhere:

    DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20151111T060000

    Looking in the Tasks app, I find the task is in there and it has both a start and end time, they are the same values that I see in Mozilla Lightning

    Could it be trying to merge these in some ugly way? I guess I could try enabling the Due Date value in Lightning and then doing the sync again to see if that clears the issue.

    It would also be really good if the exception could show more detail. While I’m quite capable of using logcat and wget to identify the task entry, many users would find this frustrating and even for me it meant waiting more than a month before I had a spare 20 minutes to start analyzing it. Maybe you could improve the message that appears on-screen so that it shows the task’s ID and if available, the SUMMARY and first 80 characters of the DESCRIPTION?

    Another problem I’ve observed is that whenever I change the Android device’s timezone, I see a popup telling me that OpenTasks has stopped. Looking at logcat, I see the same exception about DTSTART.

    Can you please post 5......7c.ics here (if there are private data, just XXX them out)?

    You’re right, AndroidTask.update does a task provider update. In buildTask, Tasks.DUE is only set when then task has a due.

    I’ll have a look at that.

    OK, I’ll do that, but I’m guessing this task is the root cause. The exception log from that crash doesn’t actually mention which task is response though:

    Thanks. You’re right, the events are merged because ical4android (DAVdroid) does an update, and it updates only columns which are present in the VTODO. So, if there was a DUE but it isn’t anymore, it’s not overwritten by null and thus is kept, which causes your problem.

    Will be fixed in the next version.

    Has been fixed in ical4android/3c86db9.

    Can you please try with DAVdroid 1.0.8? It should be fixed there.
