5 years ago Good question!
There seems to be multiple things going on...
- first, {ical} does not have all columns
- second, {calendar} has some of the columns wrong: "
DTSTART;TZID=Greenwich Standard Time"
# data
u = "https://github.com/ATFutures/calendar/releases/download/0.0.1/d-mini.ics"
download.file(url = u, destfile = "d-mini.ics")
# calendars
c1 = calendar::ic_read("d-mini.ics")
c2 = ical::ical_parse_df("d-mini.ics")
# comparison
names(c1)
#> [1] "DESCRIPTION"

Confirmed, the datetime issue is now fixed. Interesting that
icalgenerates fewer columns:Created on 2019-09-09 by the reprex package (v0.3.0)
