1545181 - The task "Due In" column sometimes shows an incorrect "0 days"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Tasks, defect)

Description

[Paul Morris [:pmorris]]

On current development builds, when a task's due date is:

• on the same day of the week as today, but a week or more apart
• is due later in the day than the current time (today)

then the "Due In" column incorrectly displays "0 days".

Comment 1

[Paul Morris [:pmorris]]

The code that generates the "Due In" column string is the "duration" method in "comm/calendar/base/content/calendar-task-tree.js", around line 360.

It turns out the duration object can be like { weeks: 1, days: 0 }, so we have to convert weeks to days. For example:

6 day duration is like: { weeks: 0, days: 6 }
7 day duration is like: { weeks: 1, days: 0 }
8 day duration is like: { weeks: 0, days: 8 }

(The zeros are actually negative: -0.)

Revised the comment to make it really clear what's going on.
