Description Grega Bremec 2015-11-26 10:28:33 UTC

Description of problem:

Upon trying to access a Google address book, I get the following error:

"This address book cannot be opened.  This either means that an incorrect URI was entered, or the server is unreachable."

"Detailed error message: Unable to connect to 'Contacts': The requested resource was not found: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/AuthForInstalledApps"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-data-server-3.12.11-24.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a Google address book (or create a Google account in Evolution)
2. Try to access the contents

Actual results:
The above error.

Expected results:
The contents of the Google address book.

Additional info:
The above URL displays the error background from Google - apparently, they have migrated to OAuth 2.0 a while ago.

Thanks fro a bug report. That's a known issue since the Google server disabled the ClientLogin. The current "workaround" is to setup the Google account in GNOME Online Accounts (gnome-control-center->Online Accounts), which uses OAuth and thus works as expected. The upcoming upstream stable version 3.20.0 will allow added Google accounts with OAuth authentication directly in the evolution.
