Cannot sync with caldav anymore

Cannot sync with caldav anymore

[basilio]

Hi to all!

After updating to Org mode version 9.1.6 (9.1.6-48-gfe7619-elpa) I lost
ability to sync with caldav (which I use for syncing my schedule with
Nextcloud <-> Android). Before the update everything was perfect. And I
beleive that everything is ok with org-caldav as there were no updates
for it this time. I use emacs package system for updating and therefore
I cannot downgrade the org-mode. And I heavily rely on it in my daily
routines. So I'm stuck and need some advice.

Thanks ahead.

PS Org-caldav version is 20170615.724

PPS I'm not proficient at Lisp unfortunately, but the error is following:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp ARCHIVE)
  string-match("{.+?}" ARCHIVE)
  org-tags-expand(ARCHIVE t)
  #[257 "\300\301\"\207" [org-tags-expand t] 4 "\n\n(fn TAG)"](ARCHIVE)
  mapcar(#[257 "\300\301\"\207" [org-tags-expand t] 4 "\n\n(fn TAG)"] (ARCHIVE))
  cl-mapcar(#[257 "\300\301\"\207" [org-tags-expand t] 4 "\n\n(fn TAG)"] (ARCHIVE))
  apply(cl-mapcar #[257 "\300\301\"\207" [org-tags-expand t] 4 "\n\n(fn TAG)"] (ARCHIVE) nil)
  cl-mapcan(#[257 "\300\301\"\207" [org-tags-expand t] 4 "\n\n(fn TAG)"] (ARCHIVE))

This is difficult to tell because the backtrace is not complete, and it
is compiled. AFAICT, somewhere, you have a list of tags like '(ARCHIVE)
but it should be '("ARCHIVE").

If that doesn't ring a bell, please a complete, un-compiled backtrace
(i.e., using C-u M-x org-reload).

The bell just have rung. I got exactly that in my .emacs:

(setq org-caldav-exclude-tags '(ARCHIVE))

after changing it to:

(setq org-caldav-exclude-tags '("ARCHIVE"))

the syncing works again. I just cannot understand why it was working
before. And sorry for bothering you with that backtrace file. The issue
is solved.

Thank you a lot.
