Combine datetime2 and csvsimple
How can I make the following code compile:
documentclass{standalone}
usepackage{csvsimple}
usepackage{datetime2}
usepackage{filecontents}
begin{filecontents*}{test.csv}
a,b
2019,00:00:00
2019,00:00:01
2020,00:00:02
2018,00:00:03
2018,00:00:04
end{filecontents*}
begin{document}
csvreader[head to column names,tabular=llllll]{test.csv}{}
{a&DTMtime{b}}
end{document}
Note that it does compile if I replace b by 00:00:01

The problem is that DTMtime expects its argument to already be expanded. You can see the problem if you say:
deftest{00:00:00}
DTMtime{test}
this already throws an error. You need to expand first test and then run DTMtime on it. One way to do this is by saying
edeftemp{noexpandDTMtime{test}}temp
The command edef defines a new macro by recursively expanding the body of the macro. The command noexpand stops DTMtime from being expanded, so that temp gets defined as DTMtime{00:00:00} which then works as expected.
I like to define this inside of a macro, say called eval:
defeval#1{edeftemp{#1}temp}
eval{noexpandDTMtime{test}}
Another option is to do this using Latex3. Latex3 defines the macro exp_args:Nx which edef's the argument of a macro before calling it, so then exp_args:NxDTMtime{test} will expand test first and then run DTMtime on it. You can define a wrapper macro for DTMtime that always expands its argument first. Here's sample code for that:
documentclass{standalone}
usepackage{expl3}
usepackage{datetime2}
ExplSyntaxOn
cs_new:NpnDTMtimex { exp_args:NxDTMtime }
ExplSyntaxOff
begin{document}
deftest{00:00:00}
DTMtimex{test}
end{document}
Here's complete code:
documentclass{standalone}
usepackage{csvsimple}
usepackage{datetime2}
usepackage{filecontents}
begin{filecontents*}{test.csv}
a,b
2019,00:00:00
2019,00:00:01
2020,00:00:02
2018,00:00:03
2018,00:00:04
end{filecontents*}
defeval#1{edeftemp{#1}temp}
defDTMtimex#1{eval{noexpandDTMtime{#1}}}
begin{document}
csvreader[head to column names,tabular=llllll]{test.csv}{}
{a&DTMtimex{b}}
end{document}
