• Create event and invite a group from ldap (LocalUsers)
• Click on "Substitute with group members"
• Remove two participants
• Save event and ensure the correct participants are invited

"Substitute with group members" is greyed out after adding the group

Probably because we're missing the ldap resource.

"Substitute with group members" only using groups inside addressbook, for this feature we need the akonadi ldap resource, that translate ldapgroups to addressbook groups. It does not ask directly ldap.

discussed with christian: if it works with ldap resource, we can close this issue

unfortunatelly at the moment the "Substitute with group members" does not get active if a group gets added.

with D29 the button "select attendees.." buttons works and expand groups directly.

When simply entering "LocalUsers" in the attendeelist the ContactGroupSearchJob returns no result. Maybe it is a baloo issue.

the search string looks valid from first look:

korganizer-1431355191-SearchSession (0x7f6bd00172d0) 2 SEARCH MIMETYPE (application/x-vnd.kde.contactgroup) QUERY "{ \"limit\" : -1, \"negated\" : false, \"rel\" : 0, \"subTerms\" : [ { \"cond\" : 0, \"key\" : \"name\", \"negated\" : false, \"value\" : \"LocalUsers\" } ] }" FULLPAYLOAD EXTERNALPAYLOAD (UID COLLECTIONID FLAGS SIZE REMOTEID REMOTEREVISION DATETIME) 
korganizer-1431355191-SearchSession (0x7f6bd00172d0) 2 OK Search done

The problem is that baloo do not act with the correct mimetye:

 1 SEARCH MIMETYPE (text/directory) QUERY "{ \"limit\" : -1, \"negated\" : false, \"rel\" : 1, \"subTerms\" : [ { \"cond\" : 5, \"key\" : \"name\", \"negated\" : false, \"value\" : \"Local\" } ] }" (UID) 
* 13 SEARCH (UID 13 REV 0 MIMETYPE "application/x-vnd.kde.contactgroup" COLLECTIONID 8) 
1 OK Search done

and with the correct mimetype:

1 SEARCH MIMETYPE (application/x-vnd.kde.contactgroup) QUERY "{ \"limit\" : -1, \"negated\" : false, \"rel\" : 1, \"subTerms\" : [ { \"cond\" : 5, \"key\" : \"name\", \"negated\" : false, \"value\" : \"Local\" } ] }" (UID) 
 1 OK Search done

Adding the ContactGroup mimetype to the collections fixes issue. I created a pull request for that:
