TypeError: Cannot read property 'iterator' of null
I get the following error/stack trace when trying to sync a company holiday/days off calendar:
Error TypeError: Cannot read property 'iterator' of null
at checkSkipEvent(Helpers:442:24)
at createEvent(Helpers:251:27)
at processEvent(Helpers:193:18)
at [unknown function](Code:181:9)
at startSync(Code:180:15)
(Probably not helpful but just in case, included screenshot of the above stack trace)
I have not used this particular ICS feed url with GAS-ICS-Sync before but I have used others successfully. This particular ICS feed url works perfectly fine with Google Calendar directly (except of course Google calendar is terrible about updating which is why I'm using GAS-ICS-Sync)
I've verified I'm running the newest version:
var thisVersion = 5.5;
The ICS link is available (it's a public benefits calendar so original link is included), but the saved output ICS is at https://pastebin.com/u6nxqPTF
My settings (removed comments, and marked which booleans are not default settings)
var sourceCalendars = [
["https://benefits.vmware.com/?plugin=all-in-one-event-calendar&controller=ai1ec_exporter_controller&action=export_events&no_html=true&ai1ec_cat_ids=1870&lang=en", "VMwareCompanyHolidays"],
];
var howFrequent = 15;
var onlyFutureEvents = true; // NOT DEFAULT
var addEventsToCalendar = true;
var modifyExistingEvents = true;
var removeEventsFromCalendar = true;
var addAlerts = false; // NOT DEFAULT
var addOrganizerToTitle = false;
var descriptionAsTitles = true; // NOT DEFAULT
var addCalToTitle = false;
var addAttendees = false;
var defaultAllDayReminder = -1;
var addTasks = false;
var emailSummary = false;
var email = "[email protected]"; // NOT DEFAULT
First off, this seems to only be related to using onlyFutureEvents = true so as a workaround you can try turning that off.
Second, it seems to be due to this event:

This event has some RDATE values, but no indication of recurrence otherwise - yet icalEvent.isRecurring() is returning true. Likely an issue with ical.js. @jonas0b1011001 since you're working on recurring events, anything to weigh in?
First off, this seems to only be related to using onlyFutureEvents = true so as a workaround you can try turning that off.
I can confirm that workaround does work (allows the ICS to load properly), however it's a problem cause my other ICS is HUGE and I don't want past events (and can't control past events separately for different ICS files).
Try using Helpers.gs from this branch, should actually be fixed.
Can confirm that Helpers.gs from the branch you linked works (and then I no longer need the workaround of onlyFutureEvents = true).
Do you want this issue closed, or wait for the issue to make it to main and/or release?
