Planner: Not syncing with gnome shell calendar

[maierjeff]

Planner recognize my calendars on my computer, at the same time i set-up. But, the activities aren't displayed on planner, as the planner activities aren't displayed on my shell.

I'm a designer, I don't know anything about coding, and puttin it here because I don't find a forum.
I use ubuntu 19.10, with xorg

Could you run Planner with this command and send me the result of the terminal please.
flatpak run --log-session-bus com.github.alainm23.planner

do you have any feedback on this ?
I'm having the same problem (ClearOS)
plannerlog.txt

Is this an issue that only appears with flatpak? I can reproduce it when I start Planner with flatpak. When I start my own compiled version, I get all the calendar entries.
Wild speculation: It has probably to do with some flatpak permissions that need to be granted to Planner?

Hello, From the description of the problem, it looks very much like you have the same problem as in the indicator. You are not subscribed to add-remove signals.

[Dirli]

Or rather you don't emit them

[alainm23]

@Dirli Great, I'm going to try to rewrite my code based on your repository.

Hope this can work. Thank you.

[Dirli]

No hurry. I will try to install Ubuntu tomorrow and understand exactly what the error is)

[alainm23]

Thank you very much, I think the error has something to do with libecal-2.0 but I'm not sure too.
In my tests with Pop! OS I got this error:

** (com.github.alainm23.planner:2): CRITICAL **: 14:54:34.251: CalendarModel.vala:208: Unable to connect to “Lembrete de aniversário & bodas”: The name org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar7 was not provided by any .service files

Do you have any idea why it happens?
The service file is here:
https://github.com/alainm23/planner/blob/master/src/Services/Calendar/CalendarModel.vala

[Dirli]

Does not find the dbus-service. Check whether you have this dbus-service. I'm confused by the 7 at the end of the org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar7

[alainm23]

Yes, org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar7 is the name of the d-bus server that comes by default in elementary OS Hera and that I'm requesting permissions here flatpak.

I just did some testing with D-Feet in Pop! OS 19.10 and they use org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar8

So I think the problem is the version of EDS that I am using:
https://github.com/alainm23/planner/blob/master/build-aux/flatpak/com.github.alainm23.planner.json#L73

[alainm23]

I think the problem is the version of libedataserver that Planner uses (v3.28) I'm trying to build Planner with `libedataserver v3.36` (The same one used by Gnome Calendar) EDS builds correctly but building Planner gives me this error.:

error: Package `libedataserver-1.2` not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories
error: Package `libical-glib' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories
error: Package `libecal-2.0' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories
Compilation failed: 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Hi @tintou, please if you have time, could you give me any clue what is going wrong?

[tintou]

@alainm23 you need to enable the GObject Introspection and Vala bindings when building libical (
-DGOBJECT_INTROSPECTION=true, -DICAL_GLIB_VAPI=true, -DICAL_GLIB=true) and evolution data server (-DENABLE_VALA_BINDINGS=ON, -DENABLE_INTROSPECTION=ON)

[alainm23]

Calendar Events works 🎉️🎉️🎉️ Thank you very much @tintou , you are a genius.
