Problem inserting meeting in agenda using "pm" time indicators

Problem inserting meeting in agenda using "pm" time indicators

[Eric S Fraga]

Hello all,

In the past, I have been able to insert new entries in the diary file
using am/pm times, e.g. "2pm-3pm An entry", using "i d" in the agenda
view.

When I try this now, with org up to date from git, I get this backtrace:

,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid duration format: \"3pm\"")
|   error("Invalid duration format: %S" "3pm")
|   org-duration-to-minutes("3pm")
|   org-agenda-format-item(nil "2pm-3pm testing" nil nil nil t)
|   org-agenda-add-entry-to-org-agenda-diary-file(day "2pm-3pm testing" (6 28 2021))
|   org-agenda-diary-entry-in-org-file()
|   org-agenda-diary-entry()
|   funcall-interactively(org-agenda-diary-entry)
|   command-execute(org-agenda-diary-entry)
`----

If I represent the times using 24 hour clock, e.g. 14:00-15:00, it works
fine.

I know that there has been some ongoing discussion on durations etc. on
the list but I've not been tracking this.  Is what I want to do no
longer allowed?  I've looked at the ORG-NEWS file but did not see
anything.

Thank you,
eric

Ummm partly?  The parsing seems to have been fixed but now my agenda
view is completely wrong.  Timed entries are not showing in the time
line and the actual times for those entries are not appearing.

Having said this, I have been playing with org-agenda-prefix-format the
past few days so maybe this has something to do with the issues I'm
seeing now.

My prefix settings are:

'(org-agenda-prefix-format
   '((agenda . "%-10c %?-12t %i % s")
     (timeline . "% s")
     (todo . "%-13c")
     (tags . "%-10:c ")
     (search . "%-15:c %i ")))

which was working yesterday (sort of: there is a separate minor
formatting issue which I will ask about at some point but it's not
mission critical) before I upgraded org to the latest version this
morning.

What I see with two events, one timed and one not, is shown in the
attached screenshot.

I have too much work at the moment (deadlines) to explore but will do so
hopefully later today and will update.

thank you,
eric
