Created attachment 74255 [details] [review] Patch to add folder name support The attached patch allows folder names to be used, as well as collection IDs, in the database= field. The name is assumed to be a Collection ID if it matches one of the collection IDs, otherwise it is assumed to be a folder path (with an optional leading /). Note that this patch is dependent on #60235.
I've included the patch in a test branch and will run it through the automated testing once before merging into master.
Included in master branch. This took a bit longer than expected, because I had to modify the nightly testing to start activesyncd for the configure operation (wasn't necessary before). Error reporting in core SyncEvolution was insufficient, so I enhanced that: commit e05454d56334eef225fbff02f382adf9cbdc30fd Author: Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly@intel.com> Date: Wed Feb 27 06:10:22 2013 -0800 command line: show backend error when listing databases fails The command line swallowed errors thrown by the backend while listing databases.

But the result is that operations like --configure or --print-databases could fail without giving the user any hint about the root cause of the issue. Now the error explanation in all its gory details is included. For example, not having activesyncd running leads to: INFO] eas_contact: backend failed: fetching folder list: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.meego.activesyncd was not provided by any .service files And running activesyncd without the necessary gconf keys shows up as: [INFO] eas_contact: backend failed: fetching folder list: GDBus.Error:org.meego.activesyncd.Error.AccountNotFound: Failed to find account [syncevolution@lists.intel.com] Both of these happened when trying to use the "list database" ActiveSync patches in the nightly test setup...
