Post publication dates assigned to feeds built without dates #73

Closed anewuser closed 2 years ago

Where are the dates for these posts coming from? The pipe editor shows different dates from the feed output, but the latest entries are actually from this week: https://www.pipes.digital/pipe/3NpgYr9B

When a feed builder block gets no date input, it will use now() as a date. But those dates get cached when an item is first created, for each individual block.

The cache key uses the guid. The guid of the content items is re-used, if it's not there or the block has the "recalculate guid" option it gets computed by the hash of content and title. Is it possible that guid is not a global unique id in that feed, but gets repeated instead?

This pipe downloads web pages, and each item has a unique title and link, so I don't know why those recent posts had 2020 dates. Anyway, I've enabled "Recalculate GUID", and the dates changed. I'll monitor it to see if future entries are added properly.

I'm facing this issue again with the same pipe: https://www.pipes.digital/feedpreview/3NpgYr9B

I've added the length ( .player_standard_tool__time ) of each audio file to their titles to try to generate new guids, but it made no difference.

Duplicating the pipe made it add today's date to each item (1NklaJOR).

Duplicating the pipe would reset the cache. Strange that it was necessary. Hope to find the issue sometime.
