Description Daniel Aleksandersen 2016-02-25 17:43:57 UTC 
1. Calendar Settings: Add: From Web
2. Paste in a https URL to any CalDAV server
3. Provide username and password when prompted
4. Select your calendars from the list
5. Save

Actual:
In the process of saving the new calendars as Evolution sources, the Authentication:Port is set to 0 instead of 443 and Security:Method is set to none rather than tls. The calendar is completely invisible to Calendar but does appear in Evolution as broken/inaccessible.

Expected:
The newly added calendars to appear in Calendar.

Secondary expectation:
Calendar should provide feedback about broken data sources instead of just hiding them out of sight.

Work-around:
Edit the Evolution source files and correct the [Security]\nMethod and [Authentication]\nPort entries in the files manually. Or edit the calendar sources from inside Evolution.

I can reproduce this bug with gnome-calendar 2.20.1 from current Debian testing.

Indeed, after adding a CalDav calendar in gnome-calendar, the process seems successful but nothing appears. 

Then, in Evolution, the calendars appear to be of type "on the web" (back translating from French) instead of "caldav". I had to remove it and re-add it from scratch in Evolution. Now it appears fine in gnome-calendar (and looks much better than in Evolution...).

Any progress on this?

GNOME Calendar is enough for my purposes since I use vdirsyncer/khal to sync my calendars with the Android phone via Baikal server, so I don't have need for the whole Evolution suite, so it would be nice that Calendar by itself can define required calendars *without* creating them within Evolution...
