When using process_composite with a -s , the temporal extent is not aware of available dates, i.e.
(Pdb) print inventory.temporal.datearray
[]
in contrast, when using a single tile, then the date information apparently is available. In my test case, I used -s tiles.shp to guarantee that there was a valid spatial extent.
Update: when using process_composite with -s, the inventory returns with only the first feature in the shapefile. So if there aren't matching assets for that feature, then of course there are also no dates.
