Undefined Method Error

[mehalter]

Hey, nice work with this script! I'm very excited to get Outlook invite information into mutt. I put the script on my machine and tried running it, and some of the invites that I have are returning the following error. It seems like if all of the information of the invitation is defined, then there are failures with nil. It would be nice for this to fail nicely and just not include information that isn't included in the calendar invitation.

calview.rb:35:in `<main>': undefined method `sub' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Will fix tomorrow.

Could you post the vcal file here?

[isene]

I may have fixed it. Check at your end.

It doesn't look like it is working fully, I am still getting errors on different lines when certain calendar invite fields aren't included

/home/micah/.local/bin/calview.rb:42:in `<main>': undefined method `gsub' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

here is the raw calendar information that returns the above error, but this happens on different lines depending on which information is not in the calendar invite (this case it has no description field). Also I should note that all of these are edge cases of events created in outlook, not manually created in some way.

Check if this latest fix handles the problem. Are the times correct? If not, what should they be?

[mehalter]

That fixed it for a lot of the cases, I am still getting issues for stuff like the following example:

error:

calview.rb:50:in `<main>': undefined method `sub' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

You are very responsive. I really appreciate your testing. Will fix, but tomorrow - as it is getting late here.

Damn, couldn't leave it alone. Check the latest.
