Bug ID: 456233

create/edit events

Severity: major

Screenshot of faulty input validation error
SUMMARY
New events cannot be created and existing events (synced via CalDAV) cannot be
edited because of a false-positive input validation check.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. (see installation notes below)
2. Launch Kalendar
3. Click "+ Create"
OBSERVED RESULT
When creating a new event or editing an existing one (as imported via CalDAV),
an "Invalid dates provided" input validation message appears at the top of the
Add/Edit event dialog. (See attached screenshot.) This failed validation causes
the "Save" button to be greyed out and renders it impossible to persist any
changes or new events to disk. This occurs for valid start/end times; as far as
I can tell, there are no start/end date-time combinations that the dialog will
accept.
It may be worth noting that setting an actually-invalid start/end time causes
the error message to change to "End date cannot be before start date."
Reverting to a valid range merely causes the original error message to return.
EXPECTED RESULT
The "Invalid dates provided" error message should not appear for valid inputs
(and certainly should not appear for the default values for a new Create Event
dialog window).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux kernel: 5.18.0-2-amd64
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.94.0
Qt Version: 5.15.4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Kalendar was installed against the latest master branch from GitHub (dca467e /
v22.07.70) on Debian testing:
```sh
# install dependencies
$ sudo apt install git cmake build-essential gettext extra-cmake-modules
qtbase5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev libqt5svg5-dev qtquickcontrols2-5-dev
qml-module-org-kde-kirigami2 kirigami2-dev libkf5i18n-dev gettext
libkf5coreaddons-dev qml-module-qtquick-layouts qml-module-qtlocation
qml-module-qt-labs-qmlmodels qtlocation5-dev qml-module-qtpositioning

libkf5contacts-dev libkf5people-dev libkf5eventviews-dev
libkf5notifications-dev libkf5qqc2desktopstyle-dev kdepim-runtime ninja-build
$ git clone https://github.com/kde/kalendar
$ cd kalendar
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local -GNinja
$ ninja
$ ninja install
```
At this point, kalendar failed to launch:
```sh
$ kalendar
QML debugging is enabled. Only use this in a safe environment.
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/main.qml:17:1: module "org.kde.kalendar.contact" is not installed
```
To resolve this issue, I simply copied the `build/bin/org/` directory into
`~/.local/bin`:
```sh
/home/rlue/tmp/kalendar/build $ cp -a bin/org ~/.local/bin
```
I'm fairly certain this wasn't the correct way to resolve this plugin path
issue, but after doing this, kalendar works in all respects except for the bug
outlined above.
