** Description changed:

- VEVENT components generated for an "on event" reminder have no ical
- trigger property, causing the "on event" reminder to not be triggered at
- all. VALARMs with action properties are being generated, so that's all
- good, but as per the spec the valarms must also include a TRIGGER
- component.
+ Tested with calendar-app 0.4.600 on mako vivid r163.
  
- This is currently being masked by bug #1419001 because a bug in
- indicator-datetime is ignoring the valarms' trigger property and
- unconditionally notifying at the event's start time. datetime's fix will
- be landing soon, uncovering this missing trigger bug.
+ To reproduce, use calendar-app to create an event with a reminder set to
+ trigger "On Event", then view the ical file in
+ ~/.local/share/evolution/calendar/system/calendar.ics.
+ 
+ calendar-app generates valarms that have an action property, and that's
+ all good. But as per the spec, the valarm also needs a trigger property.
+ Without it, the reminder will never get triggered.
+ 
+ This is currently being masked by indicator-datetime's bug #1419001:
+ it's currently ignoring the trigger property and is unconditionally
+ notifying at the event start time. The datetime fix should be landing
+ soon, which will uncover this missing trigger bug as a side-effect.
  
  I'm not sure if this is being caused in calendar-app or in
  qtorganizer5-eds.

  Events with an "On Event" reminder never get a notification

Bug description:
  Tested with calendar-app 0.4.600 on mako vivid r163.

  To reproduce, use calendar-app to create an event with a reminder set
  to trigger "On Event", then view the ical file in
  ~/.local/share/evolution/calendar/system/calendar.ics.

  calendar-app generates valarms that have an action property, and
  that's all good. But as per the spec, the valarm also needs a trigger
  property. Without it, the reminder will never get triggered.

  This is currently being masked by indicator-datetime's bug #1419001:
  it's currently ignoring the trigger property and is unconditionally
  notifying at the event start time. The datetime fix should be landing
  soon, which will uncover this missing trigger bug as a side-effect.

  I'm not sure if this is being caused in calendar-app or in
  qtorganizer5-eds.
