Bug Description

I'm receiving a mail with invitation but lightning doesn't show buttons where I can accept it. Instead this exception is shown:

[JavaScript Error: "[Exception... "'[JavaScript Error: "foundAttendee is null" {file: "resource://calendar/modules/calItipUtils.jsm" line: 1209}]' when calling method: [calIOperationListener::onOperationComplete]" nsresult: "0x80570021 (NS_ERROR_XPC_JAVASCRIPT_ERROR_WITH_DETAILS)" location: "JS frame :: file:///z/home/dmka/.thunderbird/e8s54mqt.default/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/components/calCompositeCalendar.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 520" data: yes]"]

Apparently, changing line calItipUtils.jsm:1209 from

--- if (foundAttendee.participationStatus == "NEEDS-ACTION") {

to

+++ if (foundAttendee && foundAttendee.participationStatus == "NEEDS-ACTION") {

resolves my problem, but that's not necessaily a correct solution

Hi there,

I ran into this identical issue trying to accept certain invites from an Exchange server. Other invites from the server seem to work just fine. I made the same change as suggested above and all seems to be working well again. Hopefully it doesn't have any other unintended side effects.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi all,

for me it was the same. I could not accept any invitations. Then i manually edited the file as indicated above and now it works. This seems to be an important bug. I could not hanlde calendar invitations for several weeks until i discovered this post.

Best,

Diego

Hi & thanks,

same for me and the fix seems to work (W7 Home, Thunderbird 24.1.1 with Lightning 2.6.3, invitation from Office2010).
Do we still need to add the MIMETYPE ms-tnef in mimeTypes.rdf?

Regards, fury
