Google Calendar Discovering Failure

[ghost]

Hello,

I'm trying to sync my google calendar using the tutorial. During the discovering process my browser is opened and google asked me if I want to allow vdirsyncer to manage my calendar. So I click yes, and then it a code is displayed, vdirsyncer is waiting for me to paste it in it and so I do. Then I get an error message:

error: Unknown error occured: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vdirsyncer/tmp9i23du_6'
error: Use `-vdebug` to see the full traceback.
error: 1 out of 1 tasks failed.

With -vdebug:

Paste obtained code: 4/Zfe9VJEMnguU5dGLO6Xdf1nQcBthja76FOcPlL9uvJI

I use vdirsyncer 0.14.0-1 installer on Archlinux from Aur repository, reading the debug log I guess it runs Python version 3.5.

And here is my config file:

[general]
status_path = "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vdirsyncer/status/"

[pair google_calendar]
a = "google_calendar_remote"
b = "google_calendar_local"
collections = ["me@gmail.com"]
conflict_resolution = "a wins"

[storage google_calendar_remote]
type = "google_calendar"
token_file = "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vdirsyncer/token_file"
client_id = secret
client_secret = secret
#start_date = null
#end_date = null
#item_types = []

[storage google_calendar_local]
type = "filesystem"
path = "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/google/"
fileext = ".ics"

And $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set.

vdirsyncer does not expand environment variables. Hard coding the path should work fine.

Fine, it works. Thank you. It may not be the right place to ask so I will move my post if it bothers, but now I don't understand why there isn't any event in khal when I open it. I have run vdirsyncer sync and the .calendars/google/ direcory contain a directory with my mail address containing *.ics files. Here is my vdirsyncer config:

[general]
status_path = "/home/focal/.config/vdirsyncer/status/"

[pair google_calendar]
a = "google_calendar_remote"
b = "google_calendar_local"
collections = ["nicolas.scottod@gmail.com"]
conflict_resolution = "a wins"

[storage google_calendar_remote]
type = "google_calendar"
token_file = "/home/focal/.config/vdirsyncer/token_file"
client_id = "xxx"
client_secret = "xxx"
#start_date = null
#end_date = null
#item_types = []

[storage google_calendar_local]
type = "filesystem"
path = "/home/focal/.calendars/google/"
fileext = ".ics"

And here is my khal.conf:

[calendars]
[[google]]
path = ~/.calendars/google/

[locale]
local_timezone= Europe/Paris
default_timezone= Europe/Paris
timeformat= %H:%M
dateformat= %d.%m.
longdateformat= %d.%m.%Y
datetimeformat= %d.%m. %H:%M
longdatetimeformat= %d.%m.%Y %H:%M

[untitaker]

You need to change the path from ~/.calendars/google/ to that directory that is equal to your email address. Khal wants the path to the folder that directly contains the ICS files.

Than you!
