FA-77230 / Calendar recurrence rules / Member archive

Parsing and validating RRULE property text: interval validity · case 05

INTERVAL=0 is accepted and later makes expansion loop forever.

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 9 checks per implementation

Case contract

Parse "NAME=VALUE;..." rule text. Part names are case-insensitive; empty parts (a trailing ";") are ignored; a part without "=" is malformed; any repeated part name is an error; FREQ is required. INTERVAL defaults to 1 and must be >= 1. BYDAY tokens are an optional signed 1-2 digit ordinal (explicit "+" allowed) followed by MO..SU; a present ordinal must satisfy 1 <= |n| <= 53. Errors are returned as {"error": message}; otherwise {"freq","interval","byday":[[n, day]],"count","until"}.

Why this case matters

Recurring calendar series are expanded into concrete instances for display, reminders and conflict checks.

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
interval zero	`{"byday": [], "count": null, "freq": "DAILY", "interval": 0, "until": null}`	`{"error": "bad INTERVAL"}`	Failed
