REDUCED TEST CASE .

Bug Description

According to the official doc of FullCalendar, you can use the key exdate ( rrule plugin) to exclude a specific day from a recurring event pattern. This is my case:

"title": "Foo", "rrule": { "freq": "weekly", "byweekday": ["TH"], "dtstart": "2021-01-01T08:00:00", "duration": {"minutes": 600}, "exdate": ["2021-01-22"],

I would expect that the recurring event does not happen on 2021-01-22. But such a piece of code does not work (i.e., I can still see the recurring event Foo on 2021-01-22 ).

The only way to fix I've found so far is using the same date and time I used in dtstart . I.e., "exdate": ["2021-01-01T08:00:00"] .

Screenshots

(see the REDUCED TEST CASE )

According to the rrule docs, exdate should be a "datetime", it seems they don't support supplying a date only.

Hi @acerix , thanx for you reply!

In my opinion, it is not just a matter of datatype. As is stated in Full Calendar docs, you can add events and exceptions using dates like the following:

title : 'my recurring event' , rrule : { freq : 'weekly' , dtstart : '2012-02-01' exdate : [ '2012-02-08' ] // will also accept a single string

And it works: https://codepen.io/floatingpurr/pen/xxRGBYe

changed the title FullCalendar and recurring events (rrule plugin): exdate does not exclude days using a different date format Rrule exdate with only a date does not work if dtstart includes a time Feb 4, 2021

Hi there
I've got the same problem, but instead, I am trying to use exrule instead of exdate , which do not make any difference.
Check this out https://codepen.io/krzysztof-d/pen/KKmQZeq
It works only with full days; any reference to the time is breaking this up
Can someone provide a solution, as this is a huge blocker, please?
I've just spent the whole day rewriting the definition of the recurring events to use those rrule just to be able to use the exception from those repetitions, and it seems like this has been nothing but the waste of time :-(

I see that you've added this to the upcoming-release which was the right move but later took it off :-(

For anyone interested I was able to make it work by repeating the same time sequence in the exception rule so in the case of Andrea's Pen case it's "exdate": ["2021-01-22T08:00:00"], which will make it work, I've updated my own Pen case as well.

I think the bug is still worth fixing as adding any other time like 07:00 make it broken as well.

Put the exdate in the same format as your dtstart
For the time, just take the same as your dtstart

That's the only way to make it works for me
