Description

After setting up google API and attempting to discover a pair between local khal calendar and google calendar, I successfully got a token, then it gives me this:

Discovering collections for pair khal_pair_1
swcal:

  • "private"
  • "swingwheatcal"
    gcal:
  • "christmasinhollis@gmail.com" ("Paul Humphries")
    warning: No collection "private" found for storage gcal.
    Should vdirsyncer attempt to create it? [y/N]: y
    error: The server returned something vdirsyncer doesn't understand. Error message: InvalidXMLResponse("Couldn't find home-set.")

Research direction

No repository files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the vdirsyncer discovery flow for khal_pair_1 with the shown Google Calendar setup, then trace the path that reports InvalidXMLResponse("Couldn't find home-set."). Done means the local-gcal discovery attempt completes without this error and handles the collection creation prompt correctly.
