Some repeating iCal events fail to end repetition after the set number of occurrences

Open Dan-Peck opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug For iCal events defined to repeat by a count AND that define certain days in its frequency are extending their occurrences out too far. For example, an event that repeats every week, on only Tue, Wed, Thu, for 9 times should count each day as an occurrence, and therefore go for about 3 weeks, depending on the start-day-of-the-week. However, it appears to be counting 9 weeks out instead of individual days, before ending.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create an event in Google calendar, for example, set to repeat on Tue, Wed, Thu of each week and repeat 9 times.
  2. Confirm that the event repeats only 9 of the days in the Google calendar.
  3. Configure a DAK Calendar (e.g., Big Monthly) with the iCal link (not the direct-authorized calendar) to the calendar with this event.
  4. Adjust calendar block Settings to show 12 weeks out, Rolling for easier diagnosis.
  5. Display the Screen.
  6. Notice the extra occurrences.

Expected behavior Event should repeat only 9 days worth (about a 3 week span)
