Moving task between lists back and forth causes error #1685

carhe · 2021-07-13T07:07:31Z

Steps to reproduce

Create a task in some list A.
Move the task to another list B.
Move the task back to list A.

Expected behaviour

Task should be moved successfully from A to B and back to A.

Actual behaviour

Movement from A to B works, but trying to move back to A fails with a generic error message ("Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.").

This behavior appeared after the update from Nextcloud 21 to 22 with Tasks version 0.13.6 (it worked before the update). It did not change with Tasks version 0.14.0-alpha.1.

The Nextcloud log contains hints (see below).

raimund-schluessler · 2021-07-13T08:01:12Z

Thanks a lot for this complete report. I can reproduce the behavior. The problem is the newly introduced trash bin for events and tasks in Nextcloud 22.

By default, tasks are not completely removed from the database anymore when getting deleted in the Tasks app (or any other client), but just get marked as deleted (so they are not shown anymore besides within the trash bin). When we now move tasks between lists, a leftover remains in the old list (a task marked as deleted). So moving the task back fails, because there already is one (just marked as deleted). Hence, the move fails.

I am not entirely sure what would be the best solution for this. There are probably multiple options:

Move the task with {'X-NC-CalDAV-No-Trashbin': 1} header so no deleted task remains in the trash bin
Move the task with overwrite = true so deleted tasks get overwritten
Adjust Nextcloud server so deleted tasks are by default overwritten without error

I currently favor option 1. as a quick fix we can do here in the Tasks app. But I think we should consider option 3. as well. Other clients will have the same problem with moving tasks. If they don't support the trash bin collection or are especially adjusted for NC server 22, moving tasks will be broken for them.

@ChristophWurst and @tcitworld for input, since you implemented the trash bin in server.

raimund-schluessler · 2021-07-13T08:09:13Z

@ChristophWurst @tcitworld Moving events in Calendar between different calendars is currently also broken in the Calendar app v.2.3.0.

raimund-schluessler · 2021-07-13T08:18:28Z

The server response is

raimund-schluessler · 2021-07-18T09:10:39Z

@carhe Please see #1694 for the current status.

raimund-schluessler · 2021-07-25T19:38:07Z

Since this will very likely require server-side fixes, I remove this from the next milestone.

aharish · 2021-08-03T18:21:25Z

Thanks for the update @raimund-schluessler. Is there any issue submitted to the nextcloud server project where we can track this?

raimund-schluessler · 2021-08-05T08:47:34Z

@aharish No, I did not create a server ticket yet, because I wasn't sure if it is server issue. But since it's clear now, I guess we should create one (or just transfer this issue here to server). @ChristophWurst @tcitworld What do you think?

gohrner · 2021-12-04T13:40:37Z

3 Adjust Nextcloud server so deleted tasks are by default overwritten without error

I'd strongly vote for this option, for the reasons already mentioned above.

I created a corresponding server issue: nextcloud/server#30096

raimund-schluessler · 2021-12-13T14:40:56Z

A fix for moving tasks between lists (back and forth) is here: nextcloud/server#30120

rfc2822 · 2022-12-30T16:06:36Z

I think this issue is a duplicate of nextcloud/calendar#3325 and is now fixed with nextcloud/server#30120.
