Will not save login credentials between Thunderbird sessions.

[joekm]

Describe the problem and steps to reproduce it:

I have my google calendar, my wife's that's shared with me (read only), and my Google Task list. Every time I restart Thunderbird, I have to manually log back in to my Google account three times to individually activate each one. This is despite always selecting "Do not ask again on this device". I really like the tasks integration, but this makes the add on unusable for me.

What happened?

Constantly being re-asked to log in despite selecting "do not ask again on this device"

What did you expect to happen?

I expected it to save my login credentials

Anything else we should know?

Thunderbird version 1.29 installed on EndeavourOS

I'm finding other instances now in this forum that were ultimately closed without a fix.

Did you get any error console messages worth sharing? Are all accounts using the same session (you can see this in the URL in the calendar properties, the "host" part)?

[joekm]

Just one error message, but it doesn't appear related to this: [ERROR sys_tray::linux] translation issues: [ResolverError(Reference(Function { id: "PLATFORM" }))]

I'm not seeing a "host" part in the calendar URL. What I see is along the lines of:

googleapi:///?calendar=joekmooney%40gmail.com

Similar format for my task list and my wife's calendar (which I follow read-only).

Meanwhile, the similar URL for the Thunderbird's built in Google calendar connect looks like:

https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/joekmooney%40gmail.com/events/

Thunderbird just updated to day to 1.30 for me. Just confirmed that, upon restart, I once, must log into my calendar, my wife's calendar, and my task list.

Yeah the missing host part is concerning, I wonder how that happened. If you can reproduce that in some way I'd be happy to add a fix. Can you unsubscribe from those calendars, then re-subscribe and make sure you enter your primary email when it asks you for the session?

[joekm]

I've only got the one gmail to use for my calendar and task list and my wife's gmail is shared with me (that's the other calendar). So, they only email I have to use is my primary. Nonetheless, I did just unsubscribe and re-activate your extension and now, I can't seem to do anything. I've removed it altogether and will later try to re-install and see if I get the option to add calendars again.

[joekm]

Ok, after unsubscribing from your calendars as well as the ones I subscribed to within thunderbird itself., then deleting and re-installing your extension, it appears to be working correctly without having to constantly re-login.

Super, glad it works now!
