NSQuarterCalendarUnit does not work

Originator:victor.jalencas
Number:rdar://9270112 Date Originated:2011-04-12
Status:Open Resolved:
Product:iPhone SDK Product Version:4.2
Classification:Other bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
The NSCalendar class accepts a components parameter to decide how to decompose a date into different units. NSQuarterCalendarUnit is one such option, but it is ignored

Steps to Reproduce:
Just run this sample code in a Foundation command line program:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
 
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
  NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
 
  NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
  NSLog(@"Quarter: %d", [[calendar components:NSQuarterCalendarUnit fromDate:[NSDate date]] quarter]);
 
  [pool drain];
  return 0;
}

Expected Results: A value from 1 to 4, depending on the current date

Actual Results: 0

Regression: Problem happens both on iOS as well as on MacOS X

Notes:

Comments

Still not fixed as of 10.9.2

I filed a radar with apple (rdar://16341277), open radar tracking link is http://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=5843373067862016

Seems like someone defined the API, created the constants, but the functionality was never implemented.

Same issue here!

Hi guys. Losing my mind here. Same issue. I cannot use NSQuarterCalendarUnit and this is extremely frustrating. Many hours thrown in the bin.
