testing

The value-dt-test-YYYY-MM-DD--12am-12pm test demonstrate the concatenation of two html elements to create one datetime value. The time element contains text demarking the use of 12 hour clock i.e. "am and pm". The date for dtend is implied from the dtstart date:

• YYYY-MM-DD
• 12am
• 12pm
• hCalendar dtend implied date

in an hCalendar event.

markup pattern

Here is the markup pattern fragment (escaped, and with abstract not real values) that is being tested:

<span class="dtstart">
 <span class="value">YYYY-MM-DD</span> 
 from
 <span class="value">12am</span>
</span>
to
<span class="dtend">
 <span class="value">12pm</span>
</span>

test

hCalendar test in actual markup on the page (view or edit source to see actual hCalendar markup)

When

2009-06-26 from 12am to 12pm

What

first half of the day before the microformats.org 4th birthday party

expected iCalendar output

Here is the expected iCalendar output, omitting optional "X-" properties, and implementation specific "PRODID" property:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
METHOD:PUBLISH
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
BEGIN:VEVENT
SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en;CHARSET=utf-8:first half of the day before the microformats.org 4th birthday party!
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090626T000000
DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090626T120000
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

The key lines that an hCalendar to iCalendar converter must match in order to pass this test:

DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090626T000000
DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090626T120000

Acceptable variant:

DTSTART:20090626T000000
DTEND:20090626T120000

Asserts

A set of programming tests for xUnit testing frameworks

Test	Result	Comment
vevent[0].dtstart	IsEqualToISODate("2009-06-26T00")	With the value class pattern the results should contain a time
vevent[0].dtend	IsEqualToISODate("2009-06-26T12")	With the value class pattern the results should contain a time
