That would be the case. It has not been needed for some years really. I have been struggling since about 2012 to understand really what the provider offers that is not available using caldav other than the simplicity that the Thunderbird 91 inbuilt calendar detection now provides. This blog post in 2013 is about Google caldav and Lightning and was written by the guy that maintains the gdata provider. https://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2013/09/google-is-changing-the- location-url-of-their-caldav-calendars/ so it has not been needed since then at least.

This is a Google/GMail thing, not so much a TB thing. Google/GMail would LOVE for email to just die and / or have their customers move to Webmail through a browser. It's a control thing. IMHO, Google CONSTANTLY wants to undermine established standards and move users away from ANYTHING that takes control away from Google's product and puts full control in a user's hands. The whole "less secure app" is a marketing scare tactic by Google to make users think something that is perfectly secure is not. It's the method of access they're trying to hamper. I mean, why else would you have to flip a switch in GMail "Settings" through the web UI in order to access your IMAP/POP3 with a 3rd party client yet the GMail Android app happily access your IMAP mail without needing to flip said switch? Totally sus! Just sayin'.

That is always going to be a possibility. But oAuth makes it less likely.

An updated version of the provider is in the making and it is now marked by the compatibility check add-on [1], that it is currently not compatible with TB91. So if you install that compatibility check add-on in your TB78, it will check for you if it is safe to update to TB91 or not. [1] https://addons.thunderbird.net/addon/addon-compatibility-check/ General information: We will not be able to manually "convert" calendars created/managed by the google provider add-on (which is using a proprietary google API to get all the data, including tasks) to CalDAV calendars managed by Thunderbird directly (which does not support tasks, because Google does not provide that info via CalDAV). If you want to switch from one method to the other, you will have to do that on your own: * Remove old google calendars * Remove provider add-on * Add google calendars as CalDAV This is not really related to the upgrade from TB78 to TB91. > Even with OAuth in my experience, the ' Less Secure App ' BS is ALWAYS NEEDED ! That is really not true. See the attached image below.

Confirm - Some Users only using the default 'Home' calendar and NOT the provider addon - actually not using any addons. They only have the one calendar. Some using both Home and other eg: Google. But 'Home' effected the same. Update removed everything from calendar. Then the blank Calendar unable to retain any entries in Home calendar - separate bug but seems related. Workaround to get Calendar working: if user has no backup then create a new Home calendar and then delete the original non functioning Home calendar. Unfortunately all previous calendar entries/events etc prior to version 91* update are lost. If user had a 78* backup created: Install Thunderbird 78* (whatever version they previously used) to another location, point to use backup profile then export the calendar. In version 91*, import the calendar. Delete the original blank non functioning Home calendar. Then remove the 78* version. This workaround using backup is ok for those savvy enough to know how to install and run different TB versions. But may be beyond some people. Those will google accounts seem to get fixed after removing the old 'Provider for google calender' addon and then downloading and installing latest version so can now recreate the calendar. So the biggest problem seems to be for those using Home calendar who do not have a backup.

The error that user reported is ``` console.error: Lightning: Parser Error. Could not find 'VCALENDAR' component. ``` It could be that a parsing routine has changed from TB78 to TB91 and now it cannot render events it formaly could. But we need error logs to do anything, or a broken profile to look at.

I've just uninstalled one v 78.14.0 and installed v 91.1.0 and all updated ok. I was initially presented with a new profile, but easy to point to desired one. Both Home and Gmail ok. Using latest 'Provider for Google calendar v 91.0.1'. Oddly, I was checking out 'Error Console' window when main UI seemed to close, but was running somewhere, so closed everything and opened again. I had been booted out of Google Calendar - bit odd as passwords are stored and needed to input password again, but all still ok. I helped a user get his google calendars up and running again but that user needed to removed them first, restart TB and do a complete recreation. New Calendar - Use Network - select gmail email address - select all gmail calendars and Tasks as required and create afresh. I asked other user to check error console, but they had restarted Thunderbird after getting Home calendar fixed to check it retained info - so original error data was auto wiped out. As my initial update went ok I did check error console.

We need to split this bug into "I am using google provider" and "I > am not using google provider". I can see there is a valid point to that. But it seems likely the original problem for those using google was the addon could not update because it was not ready when version 91 was released. Getting the addon updated and recreating the calendar seems to work. So the real issue is what happened to the 'Home' calendar when it appears to be blank. > > @Anje: The text log shows you are using google, removing all google calendars > and the google provider and starting from scratch does not fix it for you? Prior to intalling 91* - I made sure the 'Provider for Google Calendar' addon update option 'On' was selected because if default is selected then updates do not occur. All updates used to occur by default, but this seemed to all change in version 78 and those auto updates stopped. So user just needs to set it to On before updating. So google provider addon updated and all was ok - I just got a couple of prompts to logon by google and allow Thunderbird access. There was no need to do anything to my google calendar. For those who did not get the auto update for the provider addon it caused a problem. Updating the addon and recreating the google calendar would sort out that problem. I would suggest major new releases are not released if dependent on specific addons like Provider for Google Calendar are not compatible at that same point in time or come to some arrangement where it is incorporated like Lightning Calendar. > > The image log shows you are using at least one incompatible add-on (the error > in implementations.js at the top), are you able to see which one? (click on > the filename, it should open in an editor, if you cannot make anything out if > it, please post that file here in full length). The incompatible addon is mail merge which is not in my list of addons, so it is probably got some residual files. I presented some error console data because it is just as useful to see what was reported even if all went ok. I am reporting problems experienced by people in Support Forums. I decided to install 91.1.0 and run to see if I could reproduce the error with the Home Calendar or Google or both. Then perhaps I would have error console data etc. However, the google addon updated just fine and I just got presented with a new profile, so had to point it to the correct one - no worries. Then seemed to lose the session with Google and was prompted to send password again - all is saved, so no idea what happened. REstarting next day all is still ok. But the point is - in my case - no calendar data was lost. I could not reproduce the same error as reported in this bug. So all info I'm relaying is being gleaned from the Support Forum.

Getting the addon updated and recreating the calendar seems to work. The real issue was, that the google provider installed in TB78 claimed compatibility with TB91 as well, which in fact was wrong and then it failed to load/view the events in TB91 after the upgrade. You did not miss the update for the provider, there simply was none. It should have disabled itself (with a big yellow "I am incompatible" warning in the add-on manager) and the google calendars should have been disabled as well with no option to enable them. I do not know, if the broken google provider had negative effects on the general calendar system and therefore could have caused the empty home calendars as well. Once the real working version of the provider for TB91 was released, the google related issue was resolved. We made changes to the add-on system, that add-ons like the google provider can no longer claim compatibility with the next ESR per default, so something like this should not happen again next year. FYI: We still have a few add-ons which falsely claim compatibility with TB91 and could cause issues popping up in support (see https://thundernest.github.io/add-on-reports/tb91-experiments-without- upper-limit.html) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1945368/comments/53 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2021-09-10T14:22:48+00:00 Worcester12345 wrote: (In reply to John Bieling (:TbSync) from comment #53) ... > Once the real working version of the provider for TB91 was released, the > google related issue was resolved.

It seems indicated in some comments above that you have to remove the Google calendar(s), and re-add it(them) afterwards the add-on has been updated... have you tried that? I would suggest to restart TB after the add-on has been installed/updated.

No version changes, no extension ("Addon"?) changes. It DID come up with a box that had Google ask for a user name and password. I wonder if it is fully working. Even before it broke, it would not allow me to click on an invite in email and put it in the calendar. It used to do this maybe a year or two ago.

Not for me after Fedora updated their 78.11.0 to 91.1.0 on Fedora 34. I would start the application and my Google CalDAV calendar would be empty, with the "Enable" button next to it in the Calendar List. I would click it and the items would appear, but be gone on the next restart. Decided to unsubscribe from it, added it back again and that problem is solved. I don't use the Provider for Google Calendar extension.

Log into the GMail WebUI account from the calendar that's having the issue (hopefully not a recurring event, but if yes, maybe just re-create it) 2. Find the calendar event and delete it through the Web GUI 3. TB should then pop up the Discard Changes and Reload message and the un-dismissable popup should stop That's worked 100% for me.
