Discrepancy in behavior of methods occurring_between? and occurrences_between

[stevschmid]

Events which span over multiple days should be returned by occurrences_between.
occurring_between? behaves as I'd expect.

require 'ice_cube'
require 'time'

schedule = IceCube::Schedule.new(Time.parse('2013-03-04 16:00:00 +00:00'), end_time: Time.parse('2013-03-07 14:00:00 +00:00'))
schedule.add_recurrence_rule IceCube::Rule.weekly

lower_bound = Time.parse('2013-03-05 00:00:00 +00:00')
upper_bound = Time.parse('2013-03-06 00:00:00 +00:00')

schedule.occurring_between?(lower_bound, upper_bound)
# true

schedule.occurrences_between(lower_bound, upper_bound)
# []

ice_cube 0.10.0 / Ruby 1.9.3

This is behaving as expected.

An "occurrence" refers to each start time. So the _occurrences and occurs_ methods will give you the start times that appear in the window. The occurring_ methods consider the duration as well, so it will tell you if an occurrence is happening even if its start time is before the window.

Thanks for the reply. But I'm a little bit at loss here. How can I retrieve the occurrences with the duration taken into account? The occurring functions only provide true or false. And I need an array of occurrences which intersect with a given time frame.

There currently isn't a method for that, but it's a fair point. Meanwhile, you can try something like occurrences_between(lower_bound - schedule.duration, upper_bound)
