Dublicating events when accepting #801

Open dnswthm opened 1 week ago

dnswthm commented 1 week ago

I am using the "Provider für Google Kalender" add-on to sync calendar invites that I receive via email to my Google Calendar. However, recently I’ve noticed that when accepting a calendar invite through the add-on, a duplicate of the event is created, and all the previous attendees receive the same invite again, but with me listed as the organizer.

Steps to reproduce:

Receive a calendar invite via email. Accept the invite using the "Provider for Google" add-on. A duplicate event appears in the calendar. The original attendees receive the invite again, but now I am shown as the organizer.

Obviously I expected the event to be added to my calendar without creating duplicates or changing the organizer.

Unfortunately, there are no error messages which i can provide. Please let me know what else I should do to troubleshoot this issue.

This is exactly why I have a preference for disabling attendees and notifications, when something is considered an accepted invite and when it is just an event being added is just too flaky :( I'm sorry this is happening to you as well!

I don't really have great debugging steps, aside from making sure that the correct email is associated with your calendar in the calendar properties. If you are comfortable using a debugger there is a way to step through the code and determine if the organizer/attendee check is working as intended.
