Online/Offline mode switching for addressbook does not work

2011-10-20T09:37:39Z

e-book-backend.c / e-data-book-factory.c of evolution-data-server/addressbook/libedata-book/ (EDS v2.30) of the PPA source do contain a GObject class type cast problem which prevents the evolution-kolab e_book_backend_kolab_set_mode() function from being called once the address book backend is started.

When toggling the online/oflfine mode in Evo after backend startup, the warning message is:
(e-addressbook-factory:20759): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `EDataBook' to `EBookBackend'

The relevant GDB trace is:
Breakpoint 2, e_book_backend_set_mode (backend=0x805c660,

Symptom: The address book backend stays in the online/offline mode it initially started with

Sync conflict detection not working under KVM

2011-06-16T08:21:56Z

When running Evolution under KVM virtualization, the sync conflict resolution is not working.
No conflicts are detected, thus the client side object is always written onto the server, overwriting
server side changes regardless of the configured sync strategy

https trigger url used even when "no encryption" selected

2011-06-08T09:37:47Z

Even if a calendar is configured to not use any encryption, the calendar backend generates a "https://" trigger url instead of "http:/", which fails if no valid server certificate is set up on the client:

** (e-calendar-factory:3222): WARNING **: kolab_util_calendar_toggle_pfb_trigger()[271] error: Access to https://<user>@<host>/freebusy/trigger/<user>/<calendar>.pfb failed in libcurl with CURLcode: 60

[create dupe] duplicate is always created

2011-06-01T09:21:42Z

When setting up a folder (calendar/addressbook) to use the "create duplicate" sync strategy, a duplicate is always created no matter whether there was a server side change or not:

Expected: no duplicate creation if the object has not changed on the server while Evolution was offline
Observed: a duplicate is always created, no matter the server side state

Task status "Cancelled" get lost after synchronizing

2011-05-26T12:37:27Z

Evolution > add new Task > Options > Status details > select task status "Cancelled" > ok > synchronize

Contacts > open the same task > edit any information > ok > synchronize

Actual: The task status in Evolution is "Not started"

Target: The task status must be "Cancelled".

This status is not available in Contacts and I think that this could be a bug in Contacts, but I am not sure.

"all day event"-option is not synchronized

2011-05-26T08:09:18Z

Contacts: add new appointment (Calendar) > activate the checkbox "All-day" > OK > Synchronize

Evolution > open the appointment

Actual: The option and the toggle "All day event" are not activated.

Target: They must be activated.

[create dupe] duplicate is not created

2011-05-23T14:56:19Z

SyncStrategy: create duplicate

Evo does not create a duplicate PIM object, even if configured so and there has been a change on the object in question while Evo was in offline mode

Calendar view not updated

2011-05-23T14:28:16Z

After switching from offline to online mode, the calendar view is not updated.
Editing an object yields the old object even if the backend has seen a server change and presented the new object to Evo.

[use server] updates not reported as changed objects

2011-05-23T14:19:42Z

Sync Strategy: "always use server"

If a server side object is changed while Evo is offline and there is also a local change, the server side object is not overwritten but the local object (e.g. in the calendar view) is not updated

Changes are visible by the second synchronisation

2011-05-16T08:35:11Z

1. Evolution: Add new Memo (e. g. "Hallo") > OK > Synchronize

2. Contacts: Open the memo "Hallo" > Edit any information > OK > Synchronize

Actual: The information which I changed in Contacts is not synchronized in Evolution. When I want to synchronize this changes I must change and synchronize again the memo in Evolution. After a renewed changing and synchronisation in Contacts the changes are visible in Evolution (To make it short: new memo in Evolution > changing in Contacts > changing in Evolution > changing in Contacts > The Memo is synchronized in Evolution)

Target: The memo must be synchronized by / after the first synchronisation.
