@Akaame It's hard to tell without the full error stack trace and the output of julia> versioninfo()
and pkg> st
. It would help if you can share that when opening any issue with any Julia packages.
My guess is, Julia/Genie/SearchLight doesn't know how to convert the String to Date.
In order to convert a string to a date you need parse
:
parse(Date, "2019-09-01")
2019-09-01
Add this to config/initializers/converters.jl
:
using Dates
convert(::Type{Date}, s::String) = parse(Date, s)
Then restart the app, it should work.
Thanks for your quick response. To my understanding, we are adding a convert overload to make String to Date conversion work. Are there any future plans to add this into the framework?
Thank you.
I already did, it's on v0.17#master :) https://github.com/GenieFramework/Genie.jl/blob/master/files/new_app/config/initializers/converters.jl
Hi,
I am fairly new to Julia and I have started out using Genie Framework just today.
I created this model with a Date field in it:
` using SearchLight using Dates
`
It is correctly saved to SQLite as type of "DATE". However, when I try to read the record it fails to convert String to type Date at the line below. Conversion line
convert(Dates.Date, "2019-09-01")
throws the same exception. I could not find a workaround for this on the Internet. What is the correct approach for developers to work with Date types?
