Summary

After importing specific weird events, for example from Google Calendar (bleah), it can happen that the Calendar's homepage becomes broken.

This was the Exception error shown to video:

"Call to a member function getEventsBetween() on null"

It was happening since this method can return NULL:

PhabricatorCalendarEventQuery#newRecurrenceSet()

This changeset verifies this condition from the Calendar's homepage.

Closes T15136

Test Plan

I tried in my server. I've executed the syntax lint. On my local machine I was not able to run "arc diff" since it tries to connect to root@localhost for some reasons.

Basically I've just indented the $recurrences = $set->getEventsBetween() under an if($set).

This looks good to me. It seems like I may have actually ran into this before and just didn't manage to upstream the fix from Wikimedia's fork.

I also tried executing yes | arc land but nothing.

I also tried the GNU version of yes that huge efficiency - https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/199534 but nothing.

I also tried to re-implement yes using a low-level approach, but nothing:

yesyes

As workaround it seems I need to become a Blessed Committers until I find a definitive solution to land.

The rest of the codebase uses array() instead of [], but that might just be for compatibility with old PHP.

add support for PHP versions that should be nuked

Hi @Matthew I think I cannot run arc land since I'm not in Blessed Committers

That is correct, I am working on getting this landed. Please stop pinging me, it will land soon.
