Seamonkey 2.53.16 and calendar issue

[nikos_bo]

Hi all,
I've upgraded SM to 2.53.16, but now calendar I use is not working.
Before upgrade, at SM startup I had to insert credentials for that calendar, now it doesn't happen and if I try to activate it, I don't receive authentication request, events appear for 1 second then they disappear.
Lightning version is 5.8.16
Any idea?

Any help? - https://www.seamonkey-project.org/relea ... ey2.53.16/

Frank, I understand, also from viewtopic.php?f=40&t=3109010, that you wrote RN, and I thank you for it.
But do you read anything in it that indicates that Lightning should stop to work?

I read
-Change calendar list tree to a list bug 1561530.
-Various other updates to the calendar code.
Do these notes mean that calendar should work in another way or stop to work at all ?

Well, from this - viewtopic.php?p=14953061#p14953061 it suggests Lightning does work -

With Lightbird deleted in version 2.53.16 the Lightning calendar has all of its normal functions---meaning that all of the calendar and events display correctly.

First thing (from that other thread) is for you to make sure you're only running one version of SeaMonkey and when you're on 2.53.16, to try that Lightning about:config procedure shown in the RN. It could be you have the previous version of Lightning stuck somewhere.

We know from the RN that the Lightning code has been changed, even if it has the same version number. So it is important that all the bits match.

I checked in Error console and it looks problem is related to authentication. Could it be related to the web server auth method, deprecated by SM ?

It's important to stay focused and not drift off on tangents, especially when you now know that Lightning is working for other people on 2.53.16.

I suggest you do this -

First thing (from that other thread) is for you to make sure you're only running one version of SeaMonkey and when you're on 2.53.16, to try that Lightning about:config procedure shown in the RN. It could be you have the previous version of Lightning stuck somewhere.

and then, if necessary, create a new test profile, as described in #2 here -

> The Services.prompt.promptAuth error looks fishy. Need to check. Might be a bad backport.

Well could you probably edit the {e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}.xpi in your extension directory and replace the Services.prompt.promptAuth(... with Services.prompt2.promptAuth(... .

Lightning is a pre-installed extension, so it'll be in the extension folder of the SM program folder, not in the user profile.

Yes sorry if being "unclear". Under Windows x64 in: C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\extensions

[frg]

The next 2.53.17b1 pre will contain the fix. I was able to reproduce with a caldav calendar. We are tossing a coin if we should do a 2.53.16.1 but editing the file in the xpi is all what is needed.

Changement of Services.prompt.promptAuth(... with Services.prompt2.promptAuth(... fixed the problem.
Thanks a lot!
