Too many retries of batch save in the presence of Apex triggers with failures

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to validate a Event field with a trigger. I'm using a trigger because it's dependent on values in the Account object. I want to show the user an error with sObject.addError() method. The test scenarios in the Salesforce GUI for 1 record at a time is working fine however the test class is failing. I'm creating 200 event records and inserting them at the same time. 

/*test class*/
try{
insert eventList;
 }
catch (Exception e) {
System.assert(e.getMessage().contains('The error message that should be shown'), e.getMessage());
 }

/*Event handler method*/
public void displayErrorMessage(List<Account> accountList){
      for (Account acc : accountList){
             if(acc.Type == 'Agency')
                eventMap.get(acc.Id).WhatID.addError('The error message that should be shown', false);
      }
}

/*Trigger*

trigger EventBefore on Event (before insert, before update) {
      if(Trigger.isInsert || Trigger.isUpdate){
          Event_TypeOfMeetingHandler handler = new Event_TypeOfMeetingHandler( trigger.new );
      }
}

THIS IS THE ERROR MESSAGE I'M GETTING:

 
Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: CANNOT_INSERT_UPDATE_ACTIVATE_ENTITY, Too many retries of batch save in the presence of Apex triggers with failures: when triggers are present partial save requires that some subset of rows save without any errors in order to avoid inconsistent side effects from those triggers. Number of retries: 2: []

THE TEST WORKS FINE FOR THE FOLLOWING TRIGGER CODE. INSERT ONLY THOUGH.  
trigger EventBefore on Event (before insert) {
      if(Trigger.isInsert){
          Event_TypeOfMeetingHandler handler = new Event_TypeOfMeetingHandler( trigger.new );
      }
}

What am I doing wrong in the Trigger handler alternative what can I do in the test class to make this work for multiple insert and updates on  Event records? 

Thanks!

Hello,

This exception arises from a bulk DML call. 

For more detail about "Bulk DML Exception Handling", please follow the link:

My thought about a bug that causes the exception. Please looks at line:
eventMap.get(acc.Id).WhatID.addError('The error message that should be shown', false);

Is it possible that one an account has many events? If yes, then you need to rewrite a validation logic.
// get all account ids
Set<Id> whatIds = new Set<Id>();
for (Event e : eventsList) {
    accountIds.add(WhatId);
}

// query all Accounts
Map<Id, Account> accountsMap = [
    SELECT Id, Name
       FROM Account
      WHERE ID IN :whatIds
]; 

// validate events
for (Event e : eventsList) {
    if (accountsMap.containsKey(e.WhatId)) {
        Account a = accountsMap.get(e.WhatId);
        if (a.Name == 'Agency') {
            e.WhatID.addError('The error message that should be shown', false);
        }
    }
}
