lxml.etree.XMLSyntaxError about ews-orgmode HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,
are you sure you configured the host, path, etc. correctly? You get an XMLSyntaxError, which means the result from the webservice call cannot be processed.

There is a debug line in the script, which allows you to dump the response to the console, just uncomment line 2 and 3 and re-execute.

# Debug code
# print data
# exit(0)

You should then see the xml returned by the webservice. If you see e.g html or similar, you're talking to the wrong endpoint.

In case this really is a dependency issue:
I merged #2 yesterday. The author claimed to have started with a clean virtualenv, so please check if requirements.txt does the trick for you.

I configured my settings in the config.cfg.

Before root = etree.fromstring(data) I get something in body but data is empty.

However, I have no clue, what I should put in path. So I took the default. Using an empty path leads to the same error. Maybe I need a config file with some more detailed example values?

Just check config.cfg.sample, for office 365 i used:

host=outlook.office365.com
path=/ews/Exchange.asmx

Turns out: when testing i saw the same stack trace you described, when an authentication error happens. In case you're using office356 you have to provide your email address as username (including the domain part).

Closed, because of missing feedback.

Sorry for the late feedback.

Error persists when changing username to: DOMAIN\\first.last or DOMAIN\\[email protected] or DOMAIN\\[email protected] or same without the DOMAIN.

We do have a bit of a chaos in our company. Sometimes usernames are first.last, sometimes f.last, sometimes with domain, sometimes without. Therefore, I have no clue what to use in the config file.

Never mind, I found a different library (exchangelib) which worked for me: https://github.com/novoid/exchange2org
