Caldav: Google deprecated commonly used endpoint

[thucke]

The current examples of the Caldav Command Binding documentation for connection Google calendars are shoing URL examples like https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/events.
However the CalDAV API Developer's Guide states that this endpoint is deprecated and no longer supported.

Hence the binding should be extended to support Googles OAuth 2.0 authentication.
There were already activities and also a functional solution (see querdenker2k/openhab#2) that I personally used in OH 1.8.

Hi @thucke

Thanks for pointing out this issue.
All of our Binding Documentation is maintained in the corresponding Add-on Repos beneath the Binding code.
We grab it from time to time and update all Binding docs in one run.

For CalDav the location would be:
https://github.com/openhab/openhab1-addons/tree/master/bundles/binding/org.openhab.binding.caldav-personal

What does that mean now?

The issue you are pointing out has to be filed in the right place.
In your case this would be the openhab/openhab1-addons Repository.
https://github.com/openhab/openhab1-addons/issues

Especially it does make much more sense in the other repo, because the documentation is not the root problem in this case.

Sorry that close was by mistake. 😄

Thank you @Confectrician
Issue #5557 opened
Should this one stay open for later update of the documentation?

Should this one stay open for later update of the documentation?

I would say no.
The documentation readme file is in the openhab1 repository too,
so we should better keep an eye on updating the information there while introducing a possible fix/improvement.

What do you think?

Surely - thank you again.
Take care ..
