how to read recurring events from outlook pst file using libpst

I'm using the java libpst 0.9.3 (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.pff/java-libpst/0.9.3) to read calendar events from a local outlook pst file.
I struggle to get the proper information for recurring appopintments incl. exceptions.
When scanning the appointments, I use
myAppointment.getRecurrenceType()!= 0
to check whether this is an recurring event and then try to use the class
PSTAppointmentRecurrence(byte[] recurrencePattern,
PSTAppointment appt,
PSTTimeZone tz)
to create a recurrend appointment object but I fail to create an instance of this class.
I tried this:
myRecurrendAppointment= new PSTAppointmentRecurrence(myAppointment.getRecurrenceStructure(), myAppointment, ???)
??? tz= where do I get the system timezone as an instance of PSTTimeZone?
thanks in advance

Issue with selecting date from calendar in Selenium

I'm trying to select current date from the calendar on this website "www.makemytrip.com".
Using these 2 lines of code:
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//label[#for='departure']")).click();
To open the calendar and to select date:
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".DayPicker-Day.DayPicker-Day--selected.DayPicker-Day--today")).click();
The first one is working fine as it opens up the calendar but cssSelector is not responding. I've tried various variations but still it remains unresponsive.

Try this xpath strategy:
//div[#class='DayPicker-Day DayPicker-Day--today']
Now, i write in python, so you may translate my code to Java, since most of it remains same.
time.sleep (Thread.sleep in Java) here is optional Ideally you should use WebdriverWait instead of Thread.sleep. But just to show you, I used it.
driver.get('https://www.makemytrip.com/')
time.sleep(3)
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//label[#for='departure']").click()
time.sleep(1)
dx = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//div[#class='DayPicker-Day DayPicker-Day--today']")
print(dx.text)
dx.click()
Here is the output:
17 is the date and the other value is currency.
17
₹ 9,418
Process finished with exit code 0

RestFB get events in Java

Using FQL, by means of which finds events that contain a given word. FQL works only in API version <2.1. By which I use the Graph API Explorer to display events. Eg.
search?q=york&type=event
Example of FQL
SELECT Eid, name, location, start_time, description, pic_small, creator, event venue FROM WHERE start_time> "Sun Jun 21 0:00:35 GMT 2015" AND (CONTAINS ("york")
I would like to make a search events by using RestFB not using FQL, but do not know how. The documentation is scarce.

I answered this already on github, but perhaps someone else find this useful.
Your special case is not in the documentation, but you can transfer the knowledge you find in the documentation and solve your problem: http://restfb.com/#searching
Connection<Event> eventList =
facebookClient.fetchConnection("search", Event.class,
Parameter.with("q", "york"), Parameter.with("type", "event"));
Now, you can iterate over the eventList.
Here you can find how this can be done: http://restfb.com/#fetching-connections

Not able to input date using sendKeys in Selenium WebDriver

The date field is like a calendar and I'm not able to input the date using sendKeys of Selenium WebDriver.
But "type" in the date field was working fine before with Selenium RC.
I tried using "clear()" before "sendKeys()" but this gave the error:
Caught Exception: Element is read-only and so may not be used for actions
Command duration or timeout: 10.11 seconds
sendKeys() is working fine for other text input fields.
I tried isDisplayed() to check for the element and it comes as true. Even in the browser, when running the test, the cursor goes to the date fields but doesnt type any text into them.

Use Following Code for this...
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript ("document.getElementById('dateofbirth').removeAttribute('readonly',0);");
WebElement BirthDate= driver.findElement(By.id("dateofbirth"));
BirthDate.clear();
BirthDate.sendKeys("20-Aug-1985"); //Enter this date details with valid date format

I also faced the same issue.This is what the solution I found.This worked fine for me.
Just remove the read only attribute of the input field and then do just as other input fields.
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("document.getElementsByName('date'[0].removeAttribute('readonly');");
WebElement dateFld = driver.findElement(By.id("date_completed"));
dateFld.clear();
dateFld.sendKeys("date Completed");

For future readers of this thread, the solution posted by #Flaburgan for issue
https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/1070
was found to work with Firefox 63 on Win7-64
"For the record, it looks like send_keys with a correctly formatted ISO date (yyyy-mm-dd) works. So for your example, can you please try to call send_keys with (like) 2012-11-02?"

If You are using a jQuery date picker object, the field should be read-only and date have to be selected from calendar object. In that case You can use 'Select' class methods of Selenium Web Driver to choose a date.
Select date = new Select(driver.findElement(By.linkText("the date want to select")));
date.click();

I have done this and works great. Take care of the format. By this you can even get the value from the control.
var dob = element(by.id('dateOfBirth'))
dob.sendKeys('20-08-1985');
expect(element(by.id('dateOfBirth')).getAttribute('value')).toBe('2015-20-08');
Hope it helps.

Using Java to get Bloomberg fields over specific dates

I'm trying to pull in specific data fields from the Bloomberg Java API. I see from the developers guide that I can pull in some fields with:
Request request = refDataSvc.createRequest("ReferenceDataRequest");
request.getElement("securities").appendValue("AAPL US Equity");
request.getElement("securities").appendValue("IBM US Equity");
request.getElement("fields").appendValue("PX_LAST"); // Last Price
request.getElement("fields").appendValue("DS002"); // Description
request.getElement("fields").appendValue("VWAP_VOLUME");
session.sendRequest(request, new CorrelationID(1));
How can I make a call like this while getting some of the fields over a specific date range? For example, I would like to get the: last trade price, last trade volume, the opening price for August 27th, 2012, and the VWAP volume for August 26th between 9AM and 11AM.

You need to create a "HistoricalDataRequest" request:
Request request = refDataSvc.createRequest("HistoricalDataRequest");
You can then specify the start date and end date:
DateTimeFormatter fmt = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyyMMdd");
request.set("startDate", startDate.toString(fmt));
request.set("endDate", endDate.toString(fmt));
In your case, startdate and enddate will be 27-Aug for the first request, and 26-Aug for the second.
However, I'm not sure how you can override fields (VWAP_START_TIME and VWAP_END_TIME) to restrict your VWAP to 9-11AM in a historical request, for reference data you would do smoething like the code below - it might work for historical requests too:
Element overridesElt = request.getElement("overrides");
Element override = overridesElt.appendElement();
override.setElement("fieldId", "VWAP_START_TIME");
override.setElement("value", "09:00:00");
override = overridesElt.appendElement();
override.setElement("fieldId", "VWAP_END_TIME");
override.setElement("value", "11:00:00");
