Re: [Opensync-devel] Problem with conversions that use objtype data (like in file-sync)

[Luiz A. D. de L. <lui...@gm...>]

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your answer. I forgot to say that this once worked in 0.39.
Maybe this is a regression.
Could you confirm the problem in your build tree? I use two simple
vcard like this (with different names):

BEGIN:VCARD
EMAIL:te...@te...
FN:teste
N:teste;;;;
UID:AQwmWWYIkq
VERSION:2.1
END:VCARD

and

osynctool --addgroup testme2
osynctool --addmember testme2 file-sync file1
osynctool --addmember testme2 file-sync file2
osynctool --configure testme2 1
osynctool --configure testme2 2

The first I use path that contains my vcard and the second one points
to a empty dir.

If I force the objtype to be "contact" in my plain format, it works.

I'm not sure but I don't see a reason why and objtype need to change
and why it relies on the target format objtype instead of the change
objtype. In osync_format_env_convert, it could save the objtype of the
input data and apply to the converted one.

Thanks,
