calendar ignores date of events on non-US calendars #211

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.With your browser, log in, open calendar, then choose Menu Settings/Calendar 
settings
2.Change Language, e.g. to "Deutsch" (German)
3.Klick "Save"
4.On command line: google calendar add "Test-Eintrag um 18:00 am 10.07.2010"
You can also use 2010-07-10 as date format, and I tried several different 
formats for mentioning date and time including english and german notations, 
always with the same result.
5.Refresh calendar. When the current date/time is before 18:00, the event is 
scheduled for this day, when you're past 18:00, it's scheduled for the next 
day. Title ist "Test-Eintrag am 10.07.2010".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The event should be sheduled for the given date, removing the date from the 
event title, so "Test-Eintrag" should be sheduled for 2010-07-10 6pm.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? What
version of gdata-python-client (aka python-gdata)?
googlecl_0.9.8-1_all.deb, python-gdata 1.2.4-0ubuntu2 with Ubuntu 10.04

Interesting... I'm not sure if Quick Add (the workhorse behind this 
functionality) is supported for non-English languages -- there's nothing 
mentioned in the API docs, and the quick-add link disappears when I change my 
calendar language.

I'm guessing this is impossible for me to fix, but I'll leave it open in the 
hopes that someone comes along and corrects me. You may want to poke around 
some more and see what you find.

The Quick Add functionality is currently not supported for languages other than 
English.

As a workaround, I tried 

google calendar add --date=2010-10-08 "Foobar"
google calendar add --date=2010-10-08 "Foobar um 19:00 Uhr"

Results are similiar as with the original poster. It seems impossible to add an 
event to a specific date.

The --date option is only used for restricting events retrieved by GoogleCL for 
delete and list. If you'd like, star issue 72 to show you want this enabled.

I'm going to mark this WontFix, since it looks like I can't fix it. But issue 
72 and/or issue 198 will indirectly solve this problem.

Thanks for your reply, fair enough. For now, it is only possible to add future 
events by changing the calendar language to English. Afterwards, the Quick Add 
parser works fine. Maybe some kind of notice on this one would be good in the 
wiki pages, took me a while figuring this one out.

Added a note in the Calendar section of the Manual wiki page.
