Agenda seems to be confused about which events are from "today", possible timezone issue

[beardedfool]

Sorry. I must be missing something. Trying to get today's agenda, I'm getting a missing appointment at 7am

X@X:~ $ gcalcli agenda

Mon Oct 07 Reoccuring

Wed Oct 09 birthday
7:00am Wake -# This goes missing
3:00pm testing caladd

Thu Oct 10
7:00am Wake
10:00am another normal entry # This also goes missing

pi@pi3:~ $ gcalcli agenda today tomorrow

Happy birthday! :)

Maybe adding --details=all would help shed some light on what is going on here. Also, can you report which version of gcalcli you're using?

[beardedfool]

Thanks Joshua, hugely appreciated. sadly not my cake day ;)
gcalcli v4.0.4

I looking at details all and realised that was an appointment from another calendar. But having made a new appointmentit still seems to happen

As I want to give you the full output, but would rather not post that here, mind if I email it to you?

Can I just check something obvious
today= midnight this morning to midnight this evening right?
tomorrow= midnight to midnight tomorrow, right?

[jcrowgey]

Ha, I wish that was more obvious than it is!

Here's a first test:

$ gcalcli agenda

No Events Found...
$ gcalcli add --when=tomorrow 
Title: test
Location: anywhere
Duration (minutes): 40
Description: a test
Enter a valid reminder or "." to end: .
0 joshua.crowgey@gmail.com
Specify calendar from above: 0
$ gcalcli agenda

Wed Oct 23  9:00am             test

So, at least in creating an event, 'tomorrow' seems to default to 9AM. Of course there's a whole bunch of variables which might be relevant: my locale (set to US/Los_Angeles), my google calendar settings.

So now to test agenda search:

$ gcalcli agenda

Wed Oct 23  9:00am             test
$ gcalcli add --when="tomorrow 12:01am"
Title: just after midnight
Location: anywhere
Duration (minutes): 10
Description: a test after midnight
Enter a valid reminder or "." to end: .
0 joshua.crowgey@gmail.com
Specify calendar from above: 0
$ gcalcli agenda today tomorrow

Wed Oct 23  12:01am            just after midnight

^^^ so that's a little surprising.

Ok, so this should be interesting:

$ for i in $(seq -w 00 23); do gcalcli add --when="tomorrow ${i}:01" --description="just after $i" --duration=10  --title="just after $i" --where="test" --noprompt"; done
$ gcalcli agenda --military

$ gcalcli agenda --military today tomorrow

Wed Oct 23  :01            just after midnight
            :01            just after 00
            1:01           just after 01
            2:01           just after 02
            3:01           just after 03
            4:01           just after 04
            5:01           just after 05
            6:01           just after 06
            7:01           just after 07
            8:01           just after 08

So that seems like a bug to me. Maybe we're dealing with UTC here (since I'm in -7 and with some sort of off by one error?). In any case, I'll open a bug for now.

Just to recreate some of that in the UK - with daylight savings in effect, in case it helps

pi@pi3:~ $ gcalcli add --when="tomorrow 12:01am"
Title: just after midnight
Location: anywhere
Duration (minutes): 10
Description: a test after midnight
Enter a valid reminder or "." to end: .
pi@pi3:~ $ gcalcli agenda today tomorrow

Thu Oct 24 pay mariana £30
12:01am just after midnight
7:00am Wake
7:30am wake-ba

For the loop, was that an extra quote just after the --noprompt? I had to ctrl+c

pi@pi3:~ $ for i in $(seq -w 00 23); do gcalcli add --when="tomorrow ${i}:01" --description="just after $i" --duration=10 --title="just after $i" --where="test" --noprompt"; done

^C

Assuming I found the right one

pi@pi3:~ $ for i in $(seq -w 00 23); do gcalcli add --when="tomorrow ${i}:01" --description="just after $i" --duration=10 --title="just after $i" --where="test" --noprompt; done
