Posts with revdate set, but not having the date in the file name, are not published

[wessven]

I am using Jekyll v3.9.1 and jekyll-asciidoc v3.0.0.

According to the readme:

When you’re ready to publish the post, move the file from the _drafts folder to the posts folder and assign a date to it either by adding it to the filename or by defining the revdate attribute in the AsciiDoc header

(I assume that the "_posts" folder is meant, not a folder named "posts".)

This implies that when I want to publish a post, I do not have to prepend the date to the file name, but only need to ensure that the revdate attribute is set. Unfortunately, no matter how or where I attempt to define revdate, Jekyll does not publish my post unless the date is prepended to the file name.

Is this a bug? Or do I understand the about excerpt from the readme incorrectly? In case of the latter, can the readme please be updated to be clearer?

You are correct that the leading underscore was missing from the posts directory. It was getting swallowed. I fixed that.

As for how to add a date to the post, I think the phrasing was just confusing. The date is always required on the filename. That is a constraint imposed by Jekyll itself. What you can do is also set the revdate in the header so as to refine the date, such as to specify a time and time zone. I updated the language to be clearer about this.

Great, thanks for the clarification!
