User-Agent:       Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
Build Identifier: TB 2.0.0.9 (20071031), Lightning 0.8pre (2008012418), gcal-provider (latest nightly 2008010811)

I am trying to use my bosses' Google Calendar with Lightning and gcal-provider, but I can only see a fraction of his events, because gcal-provider aborts event parsing upon the first recurring event in his calendar.

He used a tool called "CompanionLink for Google" to export his events from Outlook to Google, which seems to only set a gd:recurrence (that's significantly shorter than what gcal would create) and no gd:when on recurring events.

While Google has no problem with that, gcal-provider stops parsing with the following error message in the log

Error getting items:
TypeError: item.startDate has no properties

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Ideally, the events should be parsed with the information taken from gd:recurrence. 

Additionally, it would be nice if event parsing would just skip invalid events instead of aborting completely.

Thanks for reporting, I found the problem and a few others on the way. The problem was that the <gd:recurrence> didn't contain VTIMEZONE information (which is ok) and my parsing wrongly stripped all recurrence info, not setting the start time from the DTSTART entry.
