Bug ID: 476526
Summary: Can't add Google account: after authenticating, the
account in the list shows "Configured account does not
exist" (have to set it up in KOrganizer, which has a
Refresh button)
Classification: Applications
Product: Merkuro
Version: 23.08.2
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

SUMMARY
I can't set up a Google Groupware account through Merkuro Calendar. I run into
bug 473897 where a newly-added account is shown in the list as "Configured
account does not exist". However, unlike KOrganizer that allows me to manually
refresh the list through a Reload button, Merkuro has no such button and I
can't force it to refresh its account list. As a result, the account stays
non-functional.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to "Settings" → "Configure Merkuro Calendar" → "Accounts", hit "Add
Account"
2. Select "Google Groupware"
3. Hit "Setup"
4. Go to the browser window that appears, enter your Google account data,
authenticate against Google, allow Akonadi to access your account
5. Go back to Merkuro. You now have an Akonadi window with the calendars and
tasks from your Google account. Hit "OK"
6. The account list now shows your new Google account, but it says "Configured
account does not exist".
OBSERVED RESULT
The account list now shows your new Google account, but it says "Configured
account does not exist".
Probably Akonadi hasn't refreshed its account list yet, apparently it doesn't
do that automatically.
The workaround is to set up the account not in Merkuro, but in KOrganizer,
where the account list has a "Reload" button that does a force-refresh.
The underlying behaviour is bug 473897. However, in KOrganizer there is a
workaround in the form of the Reload button. That way setting up Google
accounts is awkward, but possible. In Merkuro it's impossible.
EXPECTED RESULT
The account list should show your new Google account and it should be populated
and functional immediately.
This would probably require fixing bug 473987? If fixing the underlying bug is
impossible, Merkuro should have a force-reload button like KOrganizer does.
