ri_cal seems to have issues parsing some google calendar ical events #4

Closed rikai closed 9 years ago

For reasons i cant quite decipher at the moment, parsing of the .ics files provided by Google calendar seems to fail.

Examples of working and failing events can be seen here: Spreadsheet showing working and non-working iCal events There seems to be no rhyme or reason to which ones do and dont fail.

Relevant code here and here

I suspect the issue lies in the latter, specifically the way ri_cal is doing its parsing is causing it to ignore some events, because, as far as i can tell, the remaining code works without issue.

Oddly, all of these started working after a while. i happened to save the .ics when it was broken, so i saved it again after it was working again.

The only difference in the file was that the DTSTAMP field was changed... Is it maybe some sort of conflict with time zones? The server IS located in France...
