[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
The attached patch contains a fix for what looks like a clerical error
in icalendar--decode-isoduration(), test case: P1DT2H.
But the real point of this post is to propose a few improvements to
handling timezones.
I use icalendar.el as a library for dealing with raw VCALENDAR data.
Also, I'm on Windows where the OS makes Emacs' timezone handling a
bit tricky. Meaning that, unless precautions are taken, datetime
conversions by icalendar.el sometimes are incorrect, in particular
around DST transitions.
Changes in the patch:
- add an optional argument to icalendar--decode-isodatetime() which
is passed to decode-time().
So, both encode-time() and decode-time() get to have their
respective timezones which makes datetime conversions predictable.
I know, I could do a (setenv "TZ" (icalendar--convert-tz-offset
...)) before I call icalendar--decode-isodatetime() but that +
restoring the environment variable afterwards looks clumsy.
- handle RDATE in icalendar--convert-tz-offset() in a rudimentary
fashion.
RDATE handling is required for those VTIMEZONEs that do not specify
RRULE, otherwise there will be no datetime conversions at all.
- identify the latest oberservance for DAYLIGHT and STANDARD
specifications within one VTIMEZONE, again supporting RDATE.
As is, icalendar.el handles multiple such specifications
indiscriminately, resulting in conversions that may be relative to
a date centuries in the past.
The relevance of this change is this: when a VCALENDAR does not
contain a VTIMEZONE section or e.g. the popular nonstandard
X-WR-TIMEZONE property, my application goes and fetches one from a
tzdata database such as tzurl.org. Standard tzurl.org responses
contain lots of historical records. Yes, tzurl.org also returns
"Outlook-style" VTIMEZONEs which icalendar.el is quite happy with
but that doesn't help me with complex VTIMEZONEs contained in
incoming VCALENDARs.
The patch is not a --git diff. Is that tolerable at all?
Best regards
Thomas

However, for unit testing, you'd need to not only consider the
data but the OS, too. What follows is not only meant as a reply
to your request but is also a question for the Emacs maintainers.
The date-time that prompted me to look at this in detail is Sat,
Nov 3 2018 20:15 Europe/Berlin local time, the OS is Windows (7).
I made tests with two pre-built binaries, the official GNU 26.1:
(emacs-version)
"GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 1, x86_64-w64-mingw32)
of 2018-05-30"
and an older "SourceForge" 25.3 build.
I don't know what makes Sat, Nov 3 2018 (and the weekdays preceding
it) so peculiar, but my hunch is its proximity to the DST transition
that occured on the Sunday six days earlier, the "fifth week" of Oct.
The decode/encode combo in the forms below is essentially the
guts of icalendar--decode-isodatetime(), old and patched. The
zone rule for Europe/Berlin is the current standard one, also
computed by icalendar--convert-tz-offset().
The point of these examples is to see how time zone rules
missing/supplied/in environment affect date-time conversions.
Here's code for a same-zone scenario, note the two TZ setenv()s:
(let ((Europe/Berlin "STD-01:00DST-02:00,M3.5.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/03:00:00"))
;; force Windows behaviour, usually no TZ set
(setenv "TZ")
(print (decode-time (encode-time 0 15 20 3 11 2018 )))
(print (decode-time (encode-time 0 15 20 3 11 2018 Europe/Berlin) ))
(print (decode-time (encode-time 0 15 20 3 11 2018 Europe/Berlin) Europe/Berlin))
;; force Unixoid/POSIX? behaviour
(setenv "TZ" Europe/Berlin)
(print (decode-time (encode-time 0 15 20 3 11 2018 )))
(print (decode-time (encode-time 0 15 20 3 11 2018 Europe/Berlin) ))
(print (decode-time (encode-time 0 15 20 3 11 2018 Europe/Berlin) Europe/Berlin))
nil)
Official Windows-26.1 evals to (comments by me):
(0 15 20 3 11 2018 6 nil 3600) ; correct, no-brainer
(0 15 19 3 11 2018 6 nil 3600) ; wrong: 19:15?!

(0 15 20 3 11 2018 6 t 7200) ; "less" wrong: DST is on?!
SourceForge 25.3 performs slightly better:
(0 15 20 3 11 2018 6 nil 3600) ; correct
(0 15 19 3 11 2018 6 nil 3600) ; wrong: 19:15?!
(0 15 20 3 11 2018 6 t 7200) ; "less" wrong: DST is on?!
(0 15 20 3 11 2018 6 nil 3600) ; correct
(0 15 20 3 11 2018 6 nil 3600) ; correct
(0 15 20 3 11 2018 6 nil 3600) ; correct
Never mind the DST weirdness, I can live with this behaviour as
producing the desired 20:15 is possible in a predictable fashion.
But it get's even weirder.
Consider the following different-zone conversion.
America/Creston is UTC-7, adding UTC+1 for Europe/Berlin makes an
8 hour difference. So, Berlin 20:15 is Creston 12:15, see also
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20181103T191500&p1=37&p2=2274
Let's check:
(let ((Europe/Berlin "STD-01:00DST-02:00,M3.5.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/03:00:00")
(America/Creston "STD+07:00"))
;; force Windows behaviour
(setenv "TZ")
(print (decode-time (encode-time 0 15 12 3 11 2018)))
(print (decode-time (encode-time 0 15 12 3 11 2018 America/Creston)))
(print (decode-time (encode-time 0 15 12 3 11 2018 America/Creston) Europe/Berlin))
;; force Unixoid/POSIX? behaviour
(setenv "TZ" Europe/Berlin)
(print (decode-time (encode-time 0 15 12 3 11 2018)))
(print (decode-time (encode-time 0 15 12 3 11 2018 America/Creston)))
(print (decode-time (encode-time 0 15 12 3 11 2018 America/Creston) Europe/Berlin))
nil)
Eval says (Official Windows-26.1):
(0 15 12 3 11 2018 6 nil 3600) ; correct (no conversion possible)
(0 15 20 3 11 2018 6 nil 3600) ; correct 20:15 with "their-zone" conversion only
(0 15 21 3 11 2018 6 t 7200) ; wrong: 21:15 with "their zone" + "my zone" conversion
(0 15 12 3 11 2018 6 nil 3600) ; correct (TZ in env applicable for decoding only)
(0 15 21 3 11 2018 6 t 7200) ; wrong time 21:15 + wrong DST=on
(0 15 21 3 11 2018 6 t 7200) ; wrong time 21:15 + wrong DST=on
SourceForge 25.3 is slightly different:
(0 15 12 3 11 2018 6 t 7200)
(0 15 20 3 11 2018 6 nil 3600)
(0 15 21 3 11 2018 6 t 7200)
(0 15 12 3 11 2018 6 nil 3600)
(0 15 21 3 11 2018 6 t 7200)
(0 15 21 3 11 2018 6 t 7200)
Things are fine again for dates following (Nov 4 etc.), ie.
when October's "fifth week" comes to an end.
If I remember correctly, Arch Linux pre-built 26.1 is always correct.
So, getting the desired 20:15 is dependent on - what? Is it possible
to drive decode-time/encode-time to always convert between time zones
correctly and if so, how? Is this a bug in Emacs or am I just
uninformed?

You cannot expect MS-Windows to support Posix DST rules such as above
in the C runtime functions like mktime, localtime, etc. Windows
support for DST rules in C runtime is very rudimentary, and is limited
to the likes of EST-5DST, without any specification of when the DST
transitions happen (the transition dates are hard-coded in the Windows
C runtime).
I think this factoid goes a long way towards explaining why you get
wrong results for the timezone offset around the DST transition date.
To make myself clear: modern Windows systems do have database of DST
transition rules, and they do apply these rules both for setting the
system clock and in APIs such as GetTimeZoneInformation. But the
rules are not in Posix format (although the information is of course
equivalent), and these capabilities are not propagated to C runtime
functions which Emacs uses.

I take it then, Windows pre-built users have no way to work around
this in Elisp?
What about the C source? Is there any way for a total C-dummy like me
to tweak/hard wire a rule for my local zone into the source? Could
you point me at the file(s)/place(s) in the Git that I'd need to look
at?
It'll be daunting to do this on Windows. The last time I built an
emacs must have been jwz's lemacs under SunOS back in '93...

Not in Lisp, no.

I don't understand what kind of C-level change do you have in mind.
AFAIU, any change to support this stuff would involve writing (or
importing from a free source) a parser for such DST rules, and then
using APIs like SetDynamicTimeZoneInformation to make the parsed rule
in effect. It would probably also mean replacing localtime and its
ilk with versions that actually access the DST data set by the above
APIs. Is that what you had in mind?

To be frank, I have no idea whatsoever. If this is something that
hasn't bothered any maintainer enough to fix it, then it's probably no
use for a non-C+non-Windows-API guy like me to try.
All I could do is to lobby?

You could also file a wishlist bug report. Maybe someone will be

This was over a year ago.
As far as I understand it, the patch itself is good and fixes a real
problem in icalendar date parsing? But then the thread turned towards
questions about daylight savings time handling in Windows, and the patch
itself wasn't applied?

IIRC the patch looked good insofar as it appeared to address only the
observed problem and to be properly documented and formatted although I
was not able to reproduce the problem.

Right, the patch was not applied.
Eli pointed out that the root cause lies in the dst handling in
ms-windows (and not in newsticker). That makes the patch more of a
work-around than a fix.
I admit that I am not very much inclined to check and apply the patch as
I do not have a ms-windows box to run tests on.
Eli, what do you think?

My comments were not about the patch (which I admit I don't really
understand, as I don't use icalendar), but about the attempts to see
what happens with time under different TZ settings.
As for the patch, I've looked at it again now, and I don't think it's
specific to MS-Windows, is it? If so, and if you think it's good,
feel free to install.
Thanks.

Exactly, the patch has nothing to do with MS-Windows' DST handling
(though incidentally, it was developed while dealing with that issue).
It fixes general issues with icalendar.el's handling of timezones as
commonly used in ical data and the standard tzurl.org repo. It is
also completely backwards-compatible as far as I can make out.
Here's the README for the testcases I provided to Ulf along with the patch:

Can you respin the patch and add the test cases to
test/lisp/calendar/icalendar-tests.el? The icalendar test files should
go to a new test/data/icalendar directory, I guess.

IIRC icalendar-tests.el does not make use of the testdata directory.
Thomas, could you please provide the expected results for the test files,
one for each ics file? Thanks!

No, but I think it should. :-) At least when adding new tests -- it's
easier to be sure that we're really testing the right thing when we've
not stringified the icalendar data into a Lisp string...

Agree. icalendar-tests are hard to read. sigh.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Attached is an updated ZIP containing the respun patch and the
unmodified samples. The patch is against
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/calendar/icalendar.el
blob: d76c11050312b4a04ac1cbda436b3c08fc6f2cc5
Hopefully, this is OK as it is.
I also extended the README in the ZIP to clarify what the patch is about:
The aim of the patch is to support robust date-time conversions based
on the VTIMEZONE sections in the iCalendar data. VTIMEZONE specifies
the source timezone while the target timezone is supplied externally
(by the OS, environment, user, etc).
Assuming a target timezone of Europe/Berlin, the local start time of
all events defined in the sample files is November 3, 2018 20:15h
(20181103T201500).
Aside: the clerical (?) error in `icalendar--decode-isoduration' is
also part of the patch but has nothing to do with conversions.

Well, the expected result depends on:
- The local timezone of the person running the code. Where I'm
sitting, it is November 3, 2018 20:15h for all samples.
Europe_Berlin-20181103T201500_no_in-calendar_VTIMEZONE.ics contains
no VTIMEZONE and thus has a somewhat undefined result. The user
agent is assumed to do the right thing based on OS/environment/user/AI.
Note: this particular date+time is carefully chosen as it is
subject to DST adjustments. Under MS-Windows, it exercises
Emacs' buggy DST handling. But this fact is just incidental
and not addressed by the patch.
- Expectations as to how the conversion result is to be rendered. In
my case rendering of the iCal data is done by a MIME handler I
cooked up for VM. This is mainly used for rendering incoming
meeting requests necessitating accurate date calculations.
Technical note: The concept of "target zone" is implemented by an
additional optional argument to `icalendar--decode-isodatetime'. My
VM plugin's function for getting the event dates (inspired by
`icalendar--convert-ical-to-diary') says:
(icalendar--decode-isodatetime dtstart nil dtstart-zone local-zone)
where there is a lot of apparatus for computing 'dtstart-zone and
'local-zone. If you'd like to know more, I can send the code.

It would be better to add the test cases in the test/data directory and
add the tests as code to icalendar-tests.el...

(etc)
This is why the test cases should bind the time zone to whatever it is
it's testing -- that way we can easily ensure that the code continues to
work.

Certainly. But apparently I'm too stupid to find that file and the
test/data dir. Can someone send it to me? As I have no commit
privileges and also am unable to build Emacs, I haven't checked out
the git. So if the maintainer(s) could assist or extend the tests,
I'd be grateful.

Don't worry. I shall write or enhance the tests for the
icalendar-functions that you changed. I shall also write tests that
check import of the ics files that you supplied.

Thomas,
after committing your changes I learned that your contribution counts as
a non-trivial change that is sufficiently large to make a copyright
assignment necessary.
So, would you please assign the copyright for your contribution(s) to
the FSF?
In order to do this, please ask on emacs-devel <at> gnu.org, and we will send
you the necessary form together with the instructions to fill and email
it, in order to start this legal paperwork.
I should have asked you to assign copyright before I incorporated your
changes. My mistake. Sorry!
All the best,
Ulf

Not yet, AFAICT. if you get no responses in another week, please ping

It ought to be, but we should wait for confirmation.

Two pieces of news:
- as of yesterday, my assignment/disclaimer process with the FSF has
been completed
- in celebration, I'd like to submit yet another patch that extends
icalendar.el's timezone handling, this one intended to support
regions that at some point in the past made a permanent switch from
a DST/STD scheme to STD-only/DST-only. Cases in point are China
and Turkey,
cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_in_Asia.
Ulf, would you care to review the code and the included test cases?

Thanks for the code. It was in slightly inconvenient format -- we
prefer just simple patches, so I've reformatted it as such below.
However, the code makes two tests fail:
2 unexpected results:
FAILED icalendar--convert-tz-offset
FAILED icalendar--parse-vtimezone
I haven't actually looked at the failing cases, though.
In addition, the test cases included aren't actually used? Could you
propose some code to use them? (It should go in
test/lisp/calendar/icalendar-tests.el.)

: However, the code makes two tests fail:
Like with the previous patch, I hoped to get away with offloading the
testing part to the maintainer... But the failures prompted me to get
familiar with the test setup for the two culprits.
: 2 unexpected results:
: FAILED icalendar--convert-tz-offset
: FAILED icalendar--parse-vtimezone
My latest patch requires some test definitions to be modified as well
as existing commented out code to be commented in.
Background: In light of the way an abandonment of daylight saving time
is expressed in VTIMEZONE, my patch will always make sure that - when
no recurrence rules RRULE are specified - the (most recent) UTC offset
of the most recent DAYLIGHT or STANDARD is returned. This offset is
what counts, IMHO. Computing and using a TZ spec - even a default one
- seems inappropriate for theses cases.
: In addition, the test cases included aren't actually used?
Implicitly, they are when my patch to icalendar-tests.el (below, not a
--git, sorry) is applied. The raw ICS data seem rather large for
incorporation into the Lisp code.
But I'd rather let Ulf have the final say about the patches and how
the data is to be tested.

I agree with Lars here. (Thank you, Lars, for your investigation!)
When patching icalendar.el (or any other file) one must make sure that
the corresponding unit tests do not fail. If necessary the unit tests
need to be adjusted. If possible one should add unit tests so that all
code changes get covered. (And so on -- the usual ideas behind unit
tests.)
It looks like your patch of 'icalendar-tests.el' does not contain
the samples from the ics files. Could you please add these?

I think putting the sample .ics files in a separate icalendar-resources
directory is the way forward...

Currently there is no way to use ics files in icalendar-tests. In the
past we've extracted the relevant handful of lines from such a file and
constructed a testcase from such files. ics files might be useful for
the "real world tests" though.

Why can't ics files be used from icalendar-tests?

Because it has not been implemented.
Right now 'icalendar-tests.el' contains input data together with the
corresponding expected results. When we move input data into separate
files, we should do the same for the expected results. For each ics
file there should be a corresponding expected-result file. That's not a
big deal. It just has not been done yet.

Oh, OK, I thought you meant there was something somehow fundamentally
precluding putting the ics data into files.
But surely not all the tests are transforms in this way. Reading an ics
file and having a test that says "what's the meeting time in this file?"
should be a fine test, right?

I'd like to get some guidance from people involved on the following proposal:
Ulf Jasper wrote at 18:54 on October 1, 2020:
: Currently there is no way to use ics files in icalendar-tests.
Would it be acceptable to:
- create a directory root/test/lisp/calendar/icalendar-resources
- extend icalendar-tests.el with the following:
(defvar icalendar-resources-directory "icalendar-resources"
"Name of directory containing ICS files.
This directory is relative to icalendar-tests.el.")
(defun icalendar-tests--get-ical-from-file (ics-file &optional component)
"Return iCalendar data structures from ICS-FILE.
Optional symbol COMPONENT names a top-level component like 'VTIMEZONE."
(let (ical)
(if (file-exists-p ics-file)
(save-excursion
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-file-contents ics-file)
(goto-char (point-min))
(setq ical (car (icalendar--read-element nil nil)))
(if component
(setq res (car (icalendar--get-children ical component)))
(setq res ical))))
(error "Can't find ICS file %s" ics-file))))
Which could be used thusly in the definition of 'icalendar--parse-vtimezone:
(ert-deftest icalendar--parse-vtimezone ()
"Test method for `icalendar--parse-vtimezone'."
(let (vtimezone result)
(setq vtimezone (icalendar-tests--get-ical-from-file
(concat (file-name-as-directory icalendar-resources-directory)
"Asia_Shanghai_20200916T070000_in-calendar_VTIMEZONE_tzurl_org.ics")
'VTIMEZONE))
(setq result (icalendar--parse-vtimezone vtimezone))
(should (string= "Asia/Shanghai" (car result)))
(message (cdr result))
(should (string= "STD-08:00"
(cdr result)))
...
))
I have no idea how the test code is run, in particular how
(concat (file-name-as-directory icalendar-resources-directory)
"Asia_Shanghai_20200916T070000_in-calendar_VTIMEZONE_tzurl_org.ics")
could be made to resolve.
Also, I cannot alter the git.
Please advise.

Basically icalendar.el just does transformations from ics to Emacs diary
and vice versa. Correspondingly icalendar-tests consist of import and
export tests plus tests of lower-level functions. The file based
approach would apply to the im-/export tests only.

That is close to what I have in mind. When we out-source test input
data, we should do the same with the corresponding expected results. A
unit test case would look something like this.
- read input data from ics file
- read expected result from corresponding file
- perform action under test on input data
- compare result with previously read expected result
I could write the necessary helper functions and then, for a start,
apply this scheme to the "real world" tests in icalendar-tests.el.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Looks good.
Re-skimming this thread, it seems to me that the reported problem hasn't
been fixed? (But I may be completely wrong about that.) If that's the
case, has there been any progress on integrating Thomas' patch?

IIRC the next step would be to add test files, i.e. ics files holding
input files and diary files holding expected output data. But maybe I
am mistaken.

Sorry, I lost track of this bug. I also lost track of icalendar.el
itself. I stopped using it some years ago. I think it is time to step
back from maintaining icalendar.el.

Noted. Feel free to update the Maintainer header to reflect that
decision (or let me know, and I'll do it for you).

Removed myself from MAINTAINERS (for icalendar). There is no maintainer
header in the el-files, BTW.

According to our conventions, the maintainer of a file without any
explicit "Maintainer" is whoever is marked as "Author". I'm not
necessarily a fan of this convention, myself. I'd prefer being
explicit.
However, this being the case, I think the correct thing to do in this
case is to add a header that points to emacs-devel.
So I did that.
Thanks.
