Date error? #186

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What is the reason for this error report:

The reason for this error was: "Error parsing date string: 1/5/2015 9am". 

I tested it in jDate that reported January 15, 2015 @ 9:00am

Hello Larry,

You're correct, date.js seems to parse that date ok. As well as the 'test 
parser' on gmail delay send's configuration page.

Could you follow the debug steps 
(https://code.google.com/p/gmail-delay-send/wiki/GmailDelaySendDebugging_8) and 
attach the logs when trying to send an email with that date?

Thanks,
-Blair

Attached is a copy of the e-mail I'm trying to send & the logs. I was unable to 
view the headers presumably because the e-mail wasn't sent.

I hope this is the needed info.

Hello Larry,

I checked the logs that were uploaded. It doesn't appear that there were any 
emails to send when you ran the script.

Could you follow all the steps that you did to create the logs, but before you 
'run now' make sure you have an email with the date/time you're having trouble 
with ready to send.

Then we can get a debug log with the failing output.

Thanks!

Here are new logs and a screenshot of the test e-mail.

I tested the date issue in a new e-mail - and it worked as expected. Then I 
retyped my problem message into a new one and tested the date by sending it to 
myself. It worked, too. So, for now, I think the errors were caused by 
something in the body of the problem message and not the script or jdate.

Hey Larry,

Ah I see.. I'm working on the next version of the script now which will not try 
to parse the date out of the email itself. Currently stange HTML formatting or 
anything else can cause problems when trying to pull the date out.

I'm going to close out this bug, but thanks for all the help debugging.

I had another somewhat similar problem. It appears to have been an embedded 
JPEG . When I deleted it the error message didn't come back.

ohh.. interesting.. Good debugging Larry.

If it's not too much trouble, could you forward me directly the problem email? 
Id' like to figure out how to avoid that..

I no longer have the message as it was when the error occurred. I had to delete 
the apparently offending JPEG to complete my test and send the message at the 
scheduled time.

I see, if you do encounter this again, if you could forward me the message 
manually (not using gmail delay send) I would be most appreciative!
