testing

The value-dt-test-YYYY-MM-DD--H-MMam-Epm 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
• H:MMam
• Epm
• hCalendar dtend implied date
• H:MM AM
• E PM

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">H:MMam</span>
</span>
to
<span class="dtend">
 <span class="value">Epm</span>
</span>

and with a space before an uppercase AM/PM:

<span class="dtstart">
 <span class="value">YYYY-MM-DD</span> 
 from
 <span class="value">H:MM AM</span>
</span>
to
<span class="dtend">
 <span class="value">E PM</span>
</span>

or just with nesting the dtend inside the dtstart

<span class="dtstart">
 <span class="value">YYYY-MM-DD</span> 
 from
 <span class="value">H:MMam</span>
 to 
 <span class="dtend">EE:MMam</span>
</span>

expected iCalendar output

Here is the expected iCalendar output. Note that properties may appear in a different order inside the BEGIN:VEVENT END:VEVENT block, and optional "X-" properties, implementation specific "PRODID" property, and "CHARSET" parameter have been omitted (and thus implementation may include those and still pass this test):

history

• 2012-01-04 additional test cases with leading space before an uppercase AM/PM, or with simple dtend nested inside dtstart (based on real world case on Mozilla wiki).
  • 2nd test: leading space before uppercase AM/PM fails in both X2V 0.9.7 and Operator 0.9.5.6 Tantek 01:17, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
  • 3rd test: simple dtend nested inside dtstart works in Operator 0.9.5.6 but fails in X2V 0.9.7 (output DTEND has 0 instead of date with 'T' before time) Tantek 01:17, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

derivation

This test was derived from value-dt-test-YYYY-MM-DD--Hpm-EEpm and events/2009-07-25-dev-camp.
