@enoch85 Tomorrow I'll do that. I'll get back if it doesn't work ;)
Thank you Daniel.

Just wanted to say that I'm facing this problem as well. I have the exact same setup except with Win10 clients w/ TB, Lightning and SoGo.

worric picture worric on 9 May 2017

@worric Thanks for confirming.

cc @irgendwie

enoch85 picture enoch85 on 10 May 2017

It seems like both of you have contacts with multiple FN (full name) properties specified, which leads to the error - specifying multiple FN in a vcard is not allowed.

Sync your [contacts]

@enoch85 I see PUT requests in the nextcloud log - are you trying to first time sync your contacts, or push new contacts onto the server?

irgendwie picture irgendwie on 10 May 2017

@irgendwie Thunderbird (Sogo plugin) tries to push to the server once an hour. That's where the PUT comes from. I'll double check my contacts and get back to you.

enoch85 picture enoch85 on 10 May 2017

Ok, so this is what most of my contacts look like:

screenshot from 2017-05-10 20-09-58
screenshot from 2017-05-10 20-10-24

Is it allowed on both cases?

enoch85 picture enoch85 on 10 May 2017

@enoch85 Could you export the address book in thunderbird and check the produced file (it just contains all vcards separated by newlines) and see if there is one contact with a double FN property?

irgendwie picture irgendwie on 10 May 2017 
FN:Ian Vaughn (Sonata Software North America)
FN:Shilpa Hegde (Sonata Software North America)
FN:G枚bel\, Oliver
FN:OMG - Victor Ferreres

Could it be these --^ that cause errors?

enoch85 picture enoch85 on 10 May 2017

sorry, I mean contacts which have multiple FN entries and not one FN entry with multiple names
Additionally, do you have contacts, which don't have an FN property set? This could also be a problem,
since the standard requires the FN property to be set.

irgendwie picture irgendwie on 10 May 2017

I have several with nothing set. Will remove them and see what happens

enoch85 picture enoch85 on 11 May 2017

Yup, seems like that solved it. Sorry for the noise.

enoch85 picture enoch85 on 11 May 2017

@worric I assume it is a similar thing in your case - do you mind to check?

irgendwie picture irgendwie on 11 May 2017

I've been experimenting a bit, and it seems I see the problem whenever a new contact is automatically added to the Nextcloud-synced address book via the "automatically add outgoing e-mails addresses to my..."-functionality. In that case, TB only adds the email address to the contact and leaves the Display Name (the FN property) empty.

@worric Yes, that's exactly what happens.

Filed a bug report with Mozilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1373576

@lars-sh Great stuff! So this will stop spamming my log if implemented?

enoch85 picture enoch85 on 10 Jul 2017

That patch just uses the EMAIL field of such VCards as another fallback and keeps your logs clean.

@irgendwie How are you going to implement 3rdparty patches? As you see I created a pull request for sabre-vobject. Shall I create another one for https://github.com/nextcloud/3rdparty or do you update from time to time?

lars-sh picture lars-sh on 10 Jul 2017

@irgendwie So, now when https://github.com/fruux/sabre-vobject/pull/384 is , can we finally fix this?

enoch85 picture enoch85 on 12 Jul 2017

But it's against the rfc rules right?
I mean evert can decide to add an org and email fallback but this doesn't change the fact that the rfc docs require only one FN property? 馃

EDIT: yeah, he's just adding a fn field as fallback, I misread, my bad. That's the proper way to do :)

skjnldsv picture skjnldsv on 25 Jul 2017

Switched to using CardBook in Thunderbird instead and the error is gone. But still, SOGO is recomended in the Docs so I think many users have this spamming error. Would be nice with a fix.

enoch85 picture enoch85 on 25 Jul 2017

SOGO?
We need @evert to publish a new release to update our submodule :)

Thanks :)

skjnldsv picture skjnldsv on 25 Jul 2017

Is this still relevant to the contacts app then?
@enoch85 ?

skjnldsv picture skjnldsv on 15 Sep 2017

Yes, as the error will still appear for everyone that doesn't run CardBook.

enoch85 picture enoch85 on 15 Sep 2017

I honestly don't know what we can do here! :p

skjnldsv picture skjnldsv on 27 Sep 2017

@skjnldsv Release is available now, see https://github.com/sabre-io/vobject/releases/tag/4.1.3

Hi, I've just discovered the log fill with this error. My nextcloud instance and apps are all up to date.

Sabre\DAV\Exception\UnsupportedMediaType: Validation error in vCard: The FN property must appear in the VCARD component exactly 1 time

Do I need to open an new Issue for this?

Cheers.

buttle picture buttle on 19 Feb 2018

@buttle Use Cardbook if you use Thunderbird, that solved my issue. Please read the above comments.

enoch85 picture enoch85 on 19 Feb 2018

@enoch85 Tomorrow I'll do that. I'll get back if it doesn't work ;)
Thank you Daniel.
