***
I am trying to get my google calendar events in Korganizer, but I am unable to do so with google groupware. After I add the google groupware from settings > calendar > add google groupware > configure I am able to see the calendars and they are selected automatically. But, after I close the window the main settings window shows that it is trying to retrieve the tasks but I don't see any message about calendars. Then It says its ready, but no google calendars are visible in the main korganizer window.

Also, is it possible to have a manual sync button available? It is important as you cannot force the user to wait for a long time until it syncs automatically for every event added in another platform.


OBSERVED RESULT
No google calendars are visible

EXPECTED RESULT
Google Calendars are visible and synced automatically.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.15.16-1-MANJARO

KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Jack 2022-01-23 19:45:12 UTC
Currently happening with 5.19.1(21.12.1).

I have what I think is the same problem, and it has recently gotten worse, on both Gentoo and Artix Linux instances.  The Artix system has been doing it for several weeks, but the Gentoo system only started this within the past days.
Previously, when I started KOrganizer, no events were shown at all, and the Google stuff was NOT shown in the list of calendars/items in the lower left pane.  At that point, I could Settings/Configure KOrganizer Calendar tabs, select Google Groupware and click Restart. and all calendar items would appear, and the Google items showed up on the lower left pane list.  Now, when I click Restart, it briefly shows Retrieving Tasks (0%) and never does retrieve anything.
The Akonadi log shows:
-----
org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Subscriber "AgentBaseChangeRecorder - 94412740835952" disconnected
org.kde.pim.akonadicontrol: Restarting application '/usr/bin/akonadi_google_resource'.

org.kde.pim.google: Got error: KGAPI2::ContactsGroupFetchJob(0x5616679d8200) "Bad request."
-----
when I click Restart.

I am not intentionally requesting to sync contacts, so I'm not sure why it's trying to retrieve them.

I can delete the Google  Groupware entry and re-create it with no errors, but am still unable to retrieve any actual data.
Comment 2 Michael D 2022-01-24 11:49:25 UTC
Same issue on Manjaro testing. I've tried removing and adding the calendar to no avail. Calendars don't show in korganizer, kalendar, or the pim plug-in for the digital clock, so it's not really a korganizer bug, but seems an akonadi bug.
Comment 3 Simon 2022-01-24 15:52:30 UTC
Same issue on Arch.
Comment 4 Anna Ochab-Marcinek 2022-01-24 17:49:21 UTC

Comment 7 Lars Scheiter 2022-01-25 12:00:04 UTC
is there a chance to disable google-contacts sync, maybe sync stopps at the "Contacts API is being deprecated.." point?

Patch to disable sync of google contacts
Comment 9 Radek Hušek 2022-01-25 16:08:46 UTC
The attached patch to kdepim-runtime which disables contacts sync resolves the issue with calendar sync for me. Of course it is more of a band aid than real solution which is to port the contacts to the new api.
Comment 10 Jack 2022-01-25 18:16:39 UTC
Thanks.  That patch works for me, allowing korganizer to fetch my google calendar.  Fortunately, I don't use google contacts, so I'm not missing anything.
Comment 11 Terry Barnaby 2022-01-25 19:41:05 UTC
Same issue on Fedora35, recently stopped working.
Comment 12 Terry Barnaby 2022-01-25 20:16:32 UTC
Actually it may be a slightly different bug on Fedora35 this is using kdepim-runtime-21.08.3-2.fc35.x86_64.rpm and looking at the code the "m_handlers.push_back(GenericHandler::Ptr(new ContactHandler(m_iface, m_settings)));" line as patched in the above patch is not present.
Otherwise the result is the same: The calendar is in the Settings and you can use the restart button and the calendar is reported as Ready, but it does not appear in the KOganizer's main window  bottom left panel and no calendar items appear. No error messages, just nothing happening (Oh why doesn't software print/display error messages and issue info these days :( ).
Not sure where the Akonadi log mentioned above is, but the file ~.local/share/akonadi/Akonadi.error does not appear to have any errors reported.

Looking for a way to run this patch. How are we supposed to use it? I tried copying the contents on kate and then make it executable but nothing happens... Thanks

Patches are "run" using the patch command but you'll need the full source to run it on and then compile, link and install. I respectfully suggest that if you don't know how to apply a patch then you're probably best waiting for the binary update.
Comment 18 bginsburg 2022-01-27 15:25:03 UTC
I am not sure if this helps or not, but I switched over to Thunderbird 91.5.1 and it is displaying and editing the Google calendars normally. I did have to delete and re-subscribe to them before they were fully functional. I just mention this in case the developers can find useful info from the Thunderbird plugin.

Dear Antonio,


many thanks for this. Do you know a time schedule for solving the issue & implementing an update into the distros? There is another well-known bug (I did not file) and may be resolved simultaneously: Google dates entered in external devices, such as under Android, are synced and displayed correctly in KOrganizer - but it does not work the other way round. That is, Google dates scheduled directly in KOrganizer are not synced. Is this going to be solved as well?


Kind regards,

Bernhard

I can confirm the attached patch restored google calendar function to KOrganizer and Event Calendar widget.

I just did a plasma update today and it still doesn't work. Version 5.19.2 (21.12.2).

Same experience - several updates over the last weeks (Tumbleweed), still not working. Very annoying, as it had worked until January.

Yeah, I meant that a package with the patch applied does fix this on Fedora.
The version of kdepim-runtime from marcdeop/plasma copr is unpatched hence I had to apply the patch manually and recompile.
Comment 40 Michael D 2022-02-21 12:31:09 UTC
By working, I mean event fetching only. Obviously contacts don't sync which affects kaddressbook and kmail. Should a separate bug be filed about this?

The patch landed on 21.12.3. To overcome the issue on Fedora 35 (21.12.2), I cherry-picked the commit 624ef213e50ae4712bfe2a254c5f444caaacfa22 in a branch based on the v21.12.2 tag and rebuilt kfrpim-runtime.

Found an article about how to fix this issue: https://www.lorenzobettini.it/2022/10/again-woes-for-kde-and-google-accounts/ but for me the workaround doesn't help, still nothing happens when I click on the "Configure" button.
