Should BEGIN: VTIMEZONE and tz details be in export?

[digger69]

From rails console:
require 'active_support'
tz = ActiveSupport::TimeZone["America/Denver"]
cal = RiCal::Calendar()
event = RiCal::Event()
event.dtstart = Time.now.in_time_zone(tz)
event.dtend = Time.now.in_time_zone(tz)
cal.events << event
cal.export

I see the VEVENT DSTART & DTEND have the TZID specified. However, I'm
not seeing a VTIMEZONE block. Should I? When I export a test calendar
from google calendar I'm seeing a VTIMEZONE block that has the MDT/MST
definitions included.

thank you.

After looking at the tests and then the docs.. I realize I should be
adding events using
cal.add_subcomponent event

instead of
cal.events << event

Hi  digger69,

Is there a method to generate UID for events?

Please share your experience.

Thanks
