Contacts: Calendar interface unable to select / print the proper date

Created on 22 Dec 2018 · 16Comments · Source: nextcloud/contacts

The calendar app is unable to set the proper birth date. The person is born 28th dec 1928. Whenever I try to select that date in the Web interface, the sub menu closes and shows a date in November. I did again, no luck. Clicked on the month itself, tried any other date in Dec 1928, nothing is doing.

I deleted the field and switched to my iPad which sync the contacts over CardDav. I configured the date properly there. Back in the web interface, the date re-appeared but again, in the month of November instead of December.

-Update :
Forgot to mention that contact imported from VCF files with a brith date in December are showed properly. Difference is that when imported, the field mentions only the day itself, no hour, while when setting it from the Web Interface, the interface requires an hour.

-End of the update...

Steps to reproduce

Go in a contact without a birth date
Set it for 28 Dec 1928
See the saved result as being marked for November instead of December

Expected behaviour

Have the proper date configured and printed in the contact...

Actual behaviour

Date is switched back one month, to November.

Are you using external storage, if yes which one: local/smb/sftp/...

Data are on an NFS Share from FreeNAS. The share is mounted by Alpine and mounted as a BIND volume in the container.

Are you using encryption: yes/no

No encryption (yet...)

Are you using an external user-backend, if yes which one: LDAP/ActiveDirectory/Webdav/...

No ; users are locally managed by Nextcloud itself

I just did some quick checks and it seems that a general problem exists in the date picker. Independently which date or year you're entering, the month is always reduced by one, e.g. December becomes November, July becomes June, February becomes January, etc.. So dates in January couldn't be entered at all because an Invalid date is returned.

Thanks for your validation and more precise diagnostic.

Happy to see that this is not just another code 18 :-)

is this related to new vue datepicker we use?

@violoncelloCH the title is misleading. It’s not calendar app related but contacts app related. Moved it to the correct repo

georgehrke on 25 Dec 2018

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/277 (Select multiple contacts), https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/638 ([Vue] Scroll to the selected contact), https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/278 (The date fields are not working), and https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/442 (Another display issue).

nextcloud-bot on 25 Dec 2018

ahh, sorry @georgehrke... didn't get this... moving issues is restricted to admins I guess? would be handy if I could do this sometimes, I always ask people to open new issues at the correct repo...

violoncelloCH on 25 Dec 2018

@violoncelloCH I think it is related to the new vue date picker which not only asks to select a date but also a time.

I'll probably ask a stupid question, but, you do click the ok button, right? Clicking outside the picker will just cancel your action.

skjnldsv on 26 Dec 2018

@j-ed the month off by one is fixed already on the contacts app. See the issue #652

skjnldsv on 26 Dec 2018

@skjnldsv Yes, I clicked the ok button 😉 I've just updated the contacts app to v3.0.1 an checked the date picker behavior of the date of birth and date of death field. The date of birth field allows to select a date only, the date of death field allows to select a date and time. Both fields are still showing the month-1 problem.

@j-ed so saving is not an issue, but the data saved is wrong, correct?

skjnldsv on 26 Dec 2018

@skjnldsv Yes, that's right. If you select a date in December, it is stored as it would have been in November. Only selecting a date in January causes an invald date being returned.

January:

I'm on nextcloud 15 and contact app version 3.0.1. It's a fresh install on raspbian, the stated versions are the initial versions installed (i.e. there never was a previous version of either nextcloud or the contact app on the system).

The following is currently the case:

birthdate picker prompts for both date AND time
if a date is accepted, the date stored is one month earlier
trying to set birthdate to October 31st, 2010 05:00 is rejected with "invalid date" (while e.g. a date in Juli 2010 is fine).
