caldav calendar hangs evolution

[Thomas Novin]

Binary package hint: evolution

I have two caldav calendars, one works and the other one doesn't work.

When I open up Evolution it can take minutes before the one that doesn't work show any entries.

When I try to add a entry to the one that doesn't work Evolution hangs for a long time (5 minutes?) and then I get 'Unknown error'.

Adding to the other calendar works fine.

Both of them are google and I have the same settings (except for MY.USERNAME which is different on the two):

caldav://<email address hidden>/events

[x] ssl
[x] offline

The one that doesn't work is also my default.

If I try to delete the calendar that doesn't work it hangs Evolution.

Did the following to get some more debug info:

export CALDAV_DEBUG=all
evolution --force-shutdown
/usr/lib/evolution/evolution-data-server-2.28 >evolution-data-server.log 2>&1 &

(started evolution, tried to add an entry to my calendar that has problems, waited a couple of minutes)

evolution --force-shutdown

I did this to got it working again:

Put evolution in offline-mode
Added a / to the end of both caldav urls (caldav://<email address hidden>/events/)
evolution --force-shutdown
Removed all entries for caldav/gmail from Password & Encryption Keys
Went to ~/.evolution/cache/calendar/ and removed all directories that were involved
Now it actually worked after I restarted evolution after going online + writing in my password for both calendars

One correction for my original description: The two calendars were on two different gmail-accounts

Was probably a bug in some way but this workaround worked for me.
