KDE/Debian 11 "Could not save configuration"

[bigupjeff]

Describe the bug When trying to add a CalDAV account, I get the error "Could not save configuration".

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to settings by clicking cog icon in top of left sidebar.
2. Click on 'Synchronization > CalDAV' then '+' for a new account.
3. Complete the 4 fields (URL, user/pass and display name) and submit by clicking the search icon (presumably the logic here was find the server before saving credentials).
4. An error appears "Could not save configuration".

Expected behavior Configuration is saved and I can now sync my CalDAV tasks.

Screenshots Couldn't screenshot because when the UI loses focus, it auto-closes (and clears the form) and screenshotting in KDE was causing loss of focus.

Desktop (please complete the following information): KDE Plasma on Debian 11 stable

Additional context I know the credentials are not the issue, as I tested with wrong creds and got "could not fetch tasklists", so "Could not save configuration" indicates an error later in the logic.

A settings file was generated at /home/jeff/.var/app/com.github.alainm23.planner/config/glib-2.0/settings/keyfile which contains:

[com/github/alainm23/planner]
version='3.0.8'
window-size=(1187, 1006)
window-position=(56, 147)
backend-type='caldav'
run-in-background=true
projects-sort-by='Alphabetically'

As you can see, the last two lines indicate the saving of general settings is ok and the file exists, so it's not a permissions issue.

Also, a keyring file is generated here: /home/jeff/.var/app/com.github.alainm23.planner/data/keyrings/default.keyring but no account is listed in the Planner UI.

Testing for #907 I tested KDE Desktop on Fedora 36 and found this behavior. Might be related.

Same two errors ("could not save configuration", and the settings clearing and closing when clicking anywhere outside Planner) experienced on Xubuntu 20.04 and a fresh install of Xubuntu 22.04.

Both issues also appear here (Ubuntu 22.04.1 with Awesome WM, using Planner 3.0.8 from Flathub). Additional information: In my case the 'settings' window disappears as soon as my mouse leave the settings window.

Same issue here - kubuntu 22.04 with flatpak planner.

Same here, openSuse Tumbleweed with KDE, Planner 3.0.10 from Flathub. BTW, I do not experience the problem with the disappearing settings window, only the "Could not save configuration" red box trying to save settings.

[lorenzoiuri]

Same for me. Fedora 38 KDE, flatpak.

I have the "Could not save configuration" errror, on Manjaro with KDE Plasma, using Planner 3.0.10 from Flathub.

I found this comment , which makes sense to me, because all of us commenting in this issue use KDE.

CalDAV support is under development for Planify, I will close this issue until the implementation is done. thank you.
