Jekyll bug: incorrect timestamp
Automating the posting process on shitpost, I have discovered
a bug in Jekyll. If the post timestamp is exactly the same as the system
time (correct to the nearest second), and the jekyll process is running with
the --watch
flag, then the post will be built with an incorrect timestamp,
namely midnight on the current date.
Example: Having jekyll build --watch
running, run the following:
cat << EOF > _posts/$(date -I)-test.md
---
layout: post
title: test
date: $(date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z")
---
test
EOF
Instead of e.g. 2017-09-06 22:10:00 +0800, the timestamp will show 2017-09-06 00:00:00 +0800.
Too lazy to write up a formal bug report, I used a sleep 1
as a
workaround in my automation script.
