icalendar devel - Mar 2010 - Writing calendar files to .ics with more than one event.

Hi,

I have a huge (2.2 MB) .ics file that I am trying to import into Google
Calendar. Google suggests file sizes no greater than 1 MB. Unfortunately, it
fails when I try to upload it in it''s entirety or when I try to
manually split it up into smaller chunks (6-800k). I have now looked into the
iCalendar gem as a way to split up the .ics file into calendars by year (there
are about 8000 events (8 years worth) ). Here is the code I used to create a
.ics file for all 2010 events: http://pastie.org/867072. That fails with a
"NoMethodError: Method Name: <=>"; here''s the full
backtrace: http://pastie.org/867074

I then modified my first script so that it will write each event as an
individual .ics file thinking there was a corrupt event (aka. needle in the hay
stack): http://pastie.org/867078 . Instead of finding the corrupt event, this
worked just fine and produced a correct .ics for each event. BTW, Have we
thought of adding methods to the gem for merging/splitting .ics files? That
might be useful.

After looking into the errors with the first script, I noticed it is caused
whenever you try to do a .to_ical on a Calendar object with more than 1 event.
Am I missing something here? Any help or suggestions will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,


justin
