Hi,

For a couple of years I have had the following in my init.el to sync an
org calendar with a Nextcloud instance:

  (defun lb/caldav-sync-work ()
    (interactive)
    (let ((org-caldav-inbox "~/org/calendar_work.org")
	  (org-caldav-url "https://nextcloud.work.de/remote.php/dav/calendars/loris")
	  (org-caldav-calendar-id "work")
	  (org-caldav-files nil))
      (call-interactively 'org-caldav-sync)))
  (setq org-caldav-debug-level 0)
  (setq org-caldav-show-sync-results nil)
  (run-with-timer 0 (* 240 60) 'lb/caldav-sync-work)

Recently, the call to 

  lb/caldav-sync-work

has stopped working - Emacs hangs and uses 100% of one core.  I have an
analogous function to sync to my home instance of Nextcloud 18 and that
works fine.

The Nextcloud instance at work is version 15 and is accessible via the
browser, but there was some outage recently and some server-side
tweakage may also have occurred while things were being fixed.

Any ideas what the problem might be or how I can debug it?

Cheers,

Loris

I don't know if this is related but a recent point release to nextcloud
caused problems with an OPTIONS directive that org-caldav-sync uses.  A
subsequent bug fix has corrected this but may not have been incorporated
in your server yet.

See https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/20624

The provider I use for calendar services had to manually patch their
instance of nextcloud to get it working again for org-caldav-sync.

Thanks for the pointer, but the link seems to refer to a regression
introduced between versions 18.0.3 and 18.0.4, whereas the server I am
talking to is some version of version 15.

My android phone is able to sync in both directions via DavX5, so the
server is obviously not totally borked in terms of syncing.  So some
aspect of the org-caldav-sync seems to be hitting the problem.

Hi,

FYI, I found this issue when looking for a solution for the same problem:
https://github.com/dengste/org-caldav/issues/195

In my case, if I am patient enough, the sync completes after 30-50 minutes.

Turns out there has been server-side borkage for a week now and which
currently persists.  I assume that when the IT elves responsible get
their house back in order, everything will be fine again.
