File not found: groups in 'addressbooks'

[BeFrankly]

Your environment

TbSync version: 4.3
Thunderbird version: 102.4.2

Expected behavior

After upgrade to TB 102 via an Ubuntu release upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04 the update of contacts and use of contact groups via category Manager should still work together with an actual Nextcloud server.

While Category Manager is not available for this TB version syncing of contacts should still work.

Actual behaviour

After adding new addresses to the Nextcloud addressbook, the sync protokoll shows the following error and the contact didn't get synced.
...
`Response:

<d:error xmlns:d="DAV:" xmlns:s="http://sabredav.org/ns">
<s:exception>Sabre\DAV\Exception\NotFound</s:exception>
<s:message>File not found: groups in 'addressbooks'</s:message>
</d:error>`

Is this a known bug, is it a Tbsync, TB or Nextcloud Bug?

What to do? Better wait until Category Manager for TB 102 is released?

I have the same problem. Were you able to resolve this?

What is the "Category Manager" in Thunderbird for?

TbSync 4.3
Nextcloud 24.0.7
Thunderbird 102.6.1 (32-bit)
Provider for CalDAV & CardDAV 4.3
YunoHost 11.1.2.2

CategoryManager for TB102 has been released.

My CardDAV provider in TB102 exists only for convinience. All it does is to discover your resources and list them in TbSync, but syncing is done by Thunderbird, which now supports CardDAV on its own.

If my discovery code fails for you, just remove TbSync and let Thunderbird sync your address book.

Interesting. So TbSync is really only useful now for discovery/update of DAV subscriptions? Maybe the default update interval of 15 minutes should be changed.
