Cryptic "Unexpected end" console output: Improve logging in Recurrence.ts

[claremacrae]

Please check that this issue hasn't been reported before.

• I searched previous Bug Reports didn't find any similar reports.

Expected Behavior

Any console log output should be meaingful

Current behaviour

I received the following console output from Tasks earlier today on my Mac:

"Unexpected end"

I traced the location to near hte end of this code, built from src/Task/Recurrence.ts:

  static fromText({
    recurrenceRuleText,
    startDate,
    scheduledDate,
    dueDate
  }) {
    try {
      const match = recurrenceRuleText.match(/^([a-zA-Z0-9, !]+?)( when done)?$/i);
      if (match == null) {
        return null;
      }
      const isolatedRuleText = match[1].trim();
      const baseOnToday = match[2] !== void 0;
      const options = RRule.parseText(isolatedRuleText);
      if (options !== null) {
        let referenceDate = null;
        if (dueDate) {
          referenceDate = window.moment(dueDate);
        } else if (scheduledDate) {
          referenceDate = window.moment(scheduledDate);
        } else if (startDate) {
          referenceDate = window.moment(startDate);
        }
        if (!baseOnToday && referenceDate !== null) {
          options.dtstart = window.moment(referenceDate).startOf("day").utc(true).toDate();
        } else {
          options.dtstart = window.moment().startOf("day").utc(true).toDate();
        }
        const rrule = new RRule(options);
        return new Recurrence({
          rrule,
          baseOnToday,
          referenceDate,
          startDate,
          scheduledDate,
          dueDate
        });
      }
    } catch (e) {
      if (e instanceof Error) {
        console.log(e.message); // <<<<<< FROM HERE
      }
    }
    return null;
  }

Steps to reproduce

Unsure, but I expect that it may be written whilst editing the recurrence rule on a task.

Which Operating Systems are you using?

Checks

• I have tried it with all other plugins disabled and the error still occurs

Possible solution

It seems the output from rrule is not enough to give a meaningful message - so the log should be changed to report the text that is being analysed.
