Tasks are no longer displayed on their due date on http://calendar.google.com if the due date was set via the Tasks API [133809207]

created issue #1

May 29, 2019 02:55PM

Usually the Google Calendar website

http://calendar.google.com displays tasks on their due date in all calendar views (day/week/month/agenda) (at least those of the currently active task list selected on the right side of the page). However since today or maybe starting a few days ago this no longer works if the due date was set using the Google Tasks API. It still works fine when setting the due date using the Google Calendar website

http://calendar.google.com .

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set the due date of a task via the Google Tasks API.
2. Open

http://calendar.google.com . The task is not displayed on the due date in the calendar views but you can see the correct due date in the task list on the right side of the page.
3. Change the due date of the task on

http://calendar.google.com .
4. The task is correctly displayed in the calendar views on its due date.
5. Change the due date again using the Google Tasks API.
6. The task is no longer displayed in the calendar views on its due date.

I suspect that this is a return of the issue described at

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/129591245
The issue appeared fixed for a few days from Tue May 21, but it appears to be back again.

Accepted by ek...@google.com.

Thanks for reporting this issue. I've been able to replicate it and have reported it to the engineering team. At the moment there are no known workarounds for the developer using the API.

jo...@gmail.com <jo...@gmail.com> #4Jun 1, 2019 06:51PM

Any update on this? None of the tasks I created through the app are appearing on my Google Calendar.

gi...@gmail.com <gi...@gmail.com> #5Jun 3, 2019 08:34AM

I have the same probem. Using CalenGoo with Google tasks API, I cannot see tasks created or modified in Google Calendar in it. It's very annoying because what I see in calendar is not what I see in Calengoo on my smartphone. I can confirm that some days ago everything was working fine.

ek...@google.com <ek...@google.com> #6Jun 3, 2019 01:01PM

No updates at this time.

Same issue. Tasks created by the app never show on the google calendar.

Same issue ! Please fix it, it’s very anyoning !

th...@gmail.com <th...@gmail.com> #9Jun 4, 2019 10:03AM

I can confirm the issue. Please fix it. Thank you.

Same issue, makes Google calendar unusable. Please fix/put back to the way it was a week ago

I'm sure this issue must be affecting a great many people and has been ongoing for about a week now.
It makes any kind of Tasks interaction though Google's APIs completely counter-productive.

Can you not just roll this feature back to the version that was working a couple of weeks ago while you work on a long-term fix?
You must surely be using some version control software that should make such a change quick and easy.

ca...@gmail.com <ca...@gmail.com> #12Jun 5, 2019 06:46PM

Agreed - do a rollback. Also it seems that minimal testing should have caught this before it went to production.

bo...@gmail.com <bo...@gmail.com> #13Jun 5, 2019 07:59PM

Come on Google!! This should be an easy fix.
If you click on the Task icon in the right hand margin, all the tasks are synced and shown correctly. They just don't show up on any of the calendar views.

gi...@gmail.com <gi...@gmail.com> #14Jun 6, 2019 09:00AM

If someone is using CalenGoo for IOS or Android, he can give a try to the Windows/macOS version of it. If google doesn't fix the bug or rollback the version, we can react that way. Google is not the only solution in the world.

I have Google Tasks Import users complaining about this. At least one business is now seriously considering moving to another platform because they feel that they cannot rely on Google Tasks.

The last comment from Google was over a week ago. What venues are available to get some more traction on this bug?

sl...@gmail.com <sl...@gmail.com> #17Jun 10, 2019 04:04AM

I've been adding my tasks using Tasks: Astrid To-Do List Clone app for years. I have the app set on default to also add the tasks as a calendar event to my Google calendar. All of a sudden last week, all my events created through task are not on my calendar anymore. Is this going to be fix?

ec...@gmail.com <ec...@gmail.com> #18Jun 10, 2019 05:52AM

is there a web version of calengoo?

ju...@gmail.com <ju...@gmail.com> #19Jun 10, 2019 11:00AM

My tasks are now appearing at the top of Google Calendar

wh...@gmail.com <wh...@gmail.com> #20Jun 10, 2019 12:32PM

Confirmed, it would appear that this issue has now been resolved.

ca...@gmail.com <ca...@gmail.com> #21Jun 10, 2019 01:56PM

Yes. Working perfectly again. Thank you developers.

d....@googlemail.com <d....@googlemail.com> #22Jun 10, 2019 05:47PM

Yes, it seems to work correctly again for me, too. Thank you for fixing it! :-)

ma...@danklein.net <ma...@danklein.net> #23Jun 15, 2019 03:16PM

Based on the comments above (and my own experience) this issue appears to have been resolved.

wh...@gmail.com <wh...@gmail.com> #24Jun 19, 2019 12:42PM

It would appear that this problem has resurfaced again (barely a week since it was fixed).
If I update a Task via the Tasks API (due date or completed status) this is not reflected on

http://calendar.google.com

Oddly, Tasks that are newly created via the Tasks API do seem to appear on the corresponding Google Calendar.

ju...@gmail.com <ju...@gmail.com> #25Jun 19, 2019 01:30PM

It appears to be working for me. If I change the due date of a task in
CalenGoo on Android, I can see the task move to the new date in Google
Calendar within a few seconds. If I mark a task complete in CalenGoo on
Android, the task is marked as completed in Google Calendar within a few
seconds.

My apologies.
It looks like this is actually a problem with the GTasks app.
I'll report the issue with their developers.

I have a command-line script to update tasks in bulk using the Tasks API and that is working just fine.
I should have taken the time to test this before posting above.

due always returns time as 00:00:000 no matter how we set it from

calendar.google.com
Hopefully we can see fix soon

mi...@google.com <mi...@google.com> #28Apr 2, 2020 01:18PM

Marked as fixed.

Hello,

This issue has been fixed. Tasks inserted or edited via Tasks API are displayed correctly in Google Calendar.

Kind regards.
