Hi Ben,

I changed the lines in generate_randomdata() to use the driver specified 
in GPC e.g. 
http://<roundcubeurl>/?_task=calendar&_action=randomdata&_num=500&_driver=<driver>.
Please note that we never tested the random data generator!

Further we also never tested the database driver. It should work, but 
there could be still some problems with the ical and caldav driver that 
extend the database driver. What we've tested is caldav+ical+kolab or 
caldav+ical.

Next, you might want to add $config['calendar_caldav_debug'] = true; to 
the calendar config in order to enable verbose debug messages to the 
console log.
The error message that complains about undefined 
kolab_storage::folder_hierarchy() looks like a version problem. Do you 
use roundcubemail-plugins-kolab-3.1.11? You could replace your Roundcube 
Kolab plugins with those from our Gitlab so make sure you have the 
correct version. The kolab_storage::folder_hierarchy() is located in 
plugins/libkolab/lib/kolab_storage.php.

Regards,
Daniel.
