Calendar not evaluating properly

string.format('%s %- .30s%s', '{c1b}' , string.sub('{c1t}', 1, 28), string.len('{c1t}') > 30 and '.. ' or string.sub('{c1t}', 29, 30))
Has been working for a while. Now with the new calendar features if I have both Show All Day Events and Show Events After Today switched on, it fails to evaluate and shows the formula. At the same time, the exact same string with {c2t} and {c2b} evaluates fine. If I just type {c1b} in the box it evaluates to 18:00 and {c1t} evaluates to SUN: Grandma Franklin's Birthday.Just in case I had some weird typo, I pasted the #2 string and edited the 2's to 1's and again it failed to evaluate.

Almost same problem but it's not "Show all day" and "Show event after ..." dependent, the following code is not evaluated and displayed as is :

{c1bp} >= {dtp} and '{c1b}' or '{c2b}'

It did work one or two days, and suddenly stopped working.

Tried with simple and double quotes without success.

Similar issue. Seems to be the case that if

'{c1bp}'== ''

evaluates as true then any formula attempting to use {c1bp} fails

example


'{c1bp}'== '' and 45 or
(1-({c1bp}-{dtp}))

you need to deal with cases where {c1bp} is an empty string, i.e. no event
therefore '{c1bp}'== '' and 45 or (1-({c1bp}-{dtp})) will break because of the {c1bp} at the end

WatchMaker 3.8 (soon in beta) fixes this by :
blank calendar events {c1br}, {c1bp}, {c1be}, {c1ep} - they now return -1

so you would use something like
{c1ex} and (1-({c1bp}-{dtp})) or 45

always use {c1ex} to check existence of events, not '{c1bp}'== ''
