Autocomplete is failing badly for many cases #125

Open darrencroton opened 1 year ago

darrencroton commented 1 year ago

It's currently Thu 9th Feb. Using Obsidian 1.1.9 on a Mac.

@Friday it returns Fri 03 Feb which is last Friday (expected: this Friday). @Next Week returns Tue 14 Feb (expected: next Monday, or whatever the first day of the week is). @Next Monday returns Mon 06 Feb (expected: next Monday).

... And so on. Many autocompletions work, but many don't. Hopefully these can be fixed. Thanks for your great work on this!

I found a partial solution (indicating a bug).

I had first day of the week set to Monday in the settings. If I change this back to "Locale default (sunday)", @Next Monday now works correctly. But unfortunately @Next Week returns Sunday (obviously) which isn't what I want (my first day of the week is Monday). But I can live with that.

So there seems to be a bug parsing this setting with the autocomplete dates.

I'm also experiencing the same issue, the same fix 'works' for me, but it'd be vastly more useful to be able to use ones preferred day (Monday) to start the week.

Yeah I can echo this being totally broken. I've resorted to just using "next Friday" when I actually mean "Friday". -__-
