Hey everyone. First off, fantastic gem. This does basically
everything, however, I am having some trouble pulling recurring
events.

If I have an event that recurs starting yesterday, every day for a
month at 10pm, then I pull the start and end dates of this, the start
date is always Sun Nov 01 02:00:00 -0500 1970. The end time appears
to be the End time of the first occurrence in the sequence. The
frequency information is correct. Has anyone else been having this
issue?

Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric, thanks for the feedback. I'm working with a few other people on getting recurrence handling improved in the gem. Unfortunately, its been quite a challenge so far. Can you send the raw debug out put of your code? You can get this by setting the debug parameter to true for the service object before you make your calls. Thanks!

I have some updates to the recurring code that I will push today or tomorrow. I don't think they will solve the issue that you are having, but it might.

First of all, thank you all for your very prompt responses.

I am working on this project with another friend, who discovered that
this version of the gem (http://github.com/h13ronim/gcal4ruby/) has no
problems with recurrence. I'm a bit confused, since it wasn't forked
off of yours Mike, but it still has your readme, so I was unsure how
these two repos are affiliated.

I tested this other version of the gem, and it works perfectly. This
project is on github at: http://github.com/dpick/ra-finder if anyone
is curious (also mike, i'd be happy to let you use this project for
your previous post about who's using your gem, although my program
isn't particularly interesting)

Thanks again,
Eric

Thanks for the reply Eric, The h13ronim repo is an unofficial fork from a while ago - not sure who maintains it. I'll take a look and see if there is some code we can merge that will fix the problem you are encountering. Thanks!
