testing

The value-dt-test-YYYY-MM-DD--HH-MM test demonstrate the concatenation of two html elements to create one datetime value:

• YYYY-MM-DD
• HH:MM

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> 
 at
 <span class="value">HH:MM</span>
</span>

and variant with intermediate span

<span class="dtstart">
 <span>
  <span class="value">YYYY-MM-DD</span> 
  at
  <span class="value">HH:MM</span>
 </span>
</span>

Similarly with dtend.

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
LOCATION;LANGUAGE=en;CHARSET=utf-8:B Restaurant and Bar\, 720 Howard Street\, Yerba Buena Upper Terrace\, San Francisco\, CA 94103 USA
SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en;CHARSET=utf-8:microformats.org 4th birthday party!
URL:http://microformats.org/wiki/events/2009-06-26-microformats-4th-bday
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090626T190000
DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090626T220000
END:VEVENT

BEGIN:VEVENT
LOCATION;LANGUAGE=en;CHARSET=utf-8:Somewhere in San Francisco\, CA\, USA
SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en;CHARSET=utf-8:microformats.org 4th birthday after-party!
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090626T220500
DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090626T230600
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:20090626T190000
DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090626T220000

and

DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090626T220500
DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090626T230600

Acceptable variant:

DTSTART:20090626T190000
DTEND:20090626T220000

and

DTSTART:20090626T220500
DTEND:20090626T230600

Test	Result	Comment
vevent[0].dtstart	IsEqualToISODate("2009-06-26T19:00")	With the value class pattern the results should contain a time
vevent[0].dtend	IsEqualToISODate("2009-06-26T22:00")	With the value class pattern the results should contain a time
vevent[1].dtstart	IsEqualToISODate("2009-06-26T22:05")	With the value class pattern the results should contain a time
vevent[1].dtend	IsEqualToISODate("2009-06-26T23:06")	With the value class pattern the results should contain a time

results

• 2009-06-26: Brian Suda's X2V has been updated (as of X2V 0.9.3) to pass this test! See Brian Suda's X2V hCalendar-2-iCalendar converter on his site to re-run and verify this test case for yourself. Or use this converter link to produce results from this test case page directly:
  • http://suda.co.uk/projects/microformats/hcalendar/get-cal.php?uri=http://microformats.org/wiki/value-dt-test-YYYY-MM-DD--HH-MM%23uf
  • verified by User:Tantek 2009-07-06.

• 2009-11-03: UfXtract has been updated to pass this test. To re-run and verify this test case try:
  • http://ufxtract.com/api/?url=http://microformats.org/wiki/value-dt-test-YYYY-MM-DD--HH-MM&format=hcalendar&output=text

• 2012-01-04: Added second test case to test intermediate span.
  • second test case appears to work in X2V 0.9.7, but FAIL (no time given) in Operator 0.9.5.6. Tantek 20:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

derivation

This test was derived from events/2009-06-26-microformats-4th-bday which used the hCard defined value-excerption-pattern to provide more readable and accessible date and time information.
