Same thing here, when i search for something, this error appears.

Any update about this error?
Is this due to the Nextcloud update to 20.0.6, or was the calendar app updated at the same time?
And is the updated calendar app perhaps the reason of the message?

Running NC-20.0.8, the index fails at the same line (1789)

Some investigation:
The line called before the failing one is searchPrincipalUri in CalDavBackend.php.
In this function at line 1769 the function getCalendarsForUser is called:
1769 $calendars = $this->getCalendarsForUser($principalUri);

This function is defined at:
287 public function getCalendarsForUser($principalUri) {
....
418 is the last line

I diffed the CalDavBackend (from the backups I still had, 20.0.4, 20.0.5 and 20.0.7 and of course 20.0.8)
The only difference I found is between 20.0.4 and 20.0.5:

The diff is in the function that is included in failing code....

Could it be that the removed code:

Is the reason for index issue???

When this is the case the indeed, the issue is to be logged with Nextcloud Calendar or even with the 3rd party providing apps/dav/lib/CalDAV/CalDavBackend.php....

[radoeka]

Yesterday I added the lines that were removed back.
Before that the error msg was regularly seen in my log. Since adding the lines back, the error is no longer there.

The lines to put back are:
(at line 349 in apps/dav/lib/CalDAV/CalDavBackend.php )

# https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/25338
$principals = array_map(function ($principal) {
    return urldecode($principal);
}, $principals);

It looks like this code prevents the error messages...

[szaimen]

Is this Issue still valid in NC21.0.3? If not, please close this issue. Thanks! :)

[Pofilo]

I can test it later today. I'll keep in touch in this ticket !

[Pofilo]

Having the issue on 20.0.10 and not having it anymore on 21.0.3.
It could be good if someone else confirms that the problem is fixed.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity and seems to be missing some essential information. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
