Hello,

We are using EGroupware Calendar API and sending a PUT request with Content-Type: application/json to update an existing event.

However, we get the following error:

 HTTP 500
 {
   "error": 500,
   "message": "date(): Argument #2 ($timestamp) must be of type ?int, EGroupware\\Api\\DateTime given"
 }

Payload:

 {
   "uid": "urn:uuid:eee2a1c5-d9d7-4574-b19b-a06c126d084c",
   "title": "B",
   "start": "2025-03-30T11:00:00+02:00",
   "timeZone": "Europe/Warsaw",
   "duration": "PT11H",
   "participants": [
     {
       "name": "Tuan Nguyen Le",
       "email": "ngletuan94@gmail.com",
       "kind": "individual",
       "roles": {"optional": true},
       "participationStatus": "accepted"
     }
   ]
 }

We also tried using a timestamp for start, e.g. "start": 1743328800, but the same error occurs.

This seems to be an internal bug in the API backend — the start value gets deserialized to EGroupware\Api\DateTime, but then passed directly to date() function, which expects an int.

Can you please confirm and advise on a fix/workaround?

Thanks!

Can you enable the trace in exceptions (Admin > App Konfiguration > Security > Exception messages should contain a trace) and reproduce the bug, so we can see where the problem is happening.

Yes,

Sorry, that is NOT what I asked / need :frowning:

Please enable the trace under Admin > App configuration > Security > Should exceptions contain a trace…

An then reproduce the problem / send the request again. The response will than contain the call-stack / trace I need to fix the problem.

You might need to kill the CalDAV session under Admin > View sessions, that the new setting has an effect.
