turkey sandwiches!
The response from the Backpack calendar API changed slightly at some point and broke the Ruby wrapper. I haven’t used my Backpack calendar Quicksilver script in a while, so I don’t know how long this has been the case.
When the library tries to convert the response XML into a nice Ruby object, the typecastvalue method chokes on two new cases:
When you request /calendars.xml the <calendars> element now has a type attribute of array.
The occurs-until element in a calendar-event can be empty but still has a type attribute.
My simplistic patch specifically ignores these two cases. It also changes require-gem to require to stifle a RubyGems warning.
