When calling after with a date in the past, on a rrule without DTSTART, the result is not the expected:
const now = new Date('2020-03-01T10:30:00.000Z');
const rule = RRule.fromString('RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=1;BYMONTHDAY=1');
const ruleWithDTSTART = RRule.fromString('RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=1;DTSTART=20200101T103000Z');
const next = rule.after(now);
const nextWithDTSTART = ruleWithDTSTART.after(now);
In this example, from my understanding the value of next and nextWithDTSTART should be the same.
But in reality:
next => 2020-11-01T05:22:21.000Z
nextWithDTSTART => 2020-04-01T10:30:00.000Z
When the rule doesn't have a DTSTART, a date in the past passed to after is ignored, and the current date is used.
I believe the result of both calls should be the same.
