weekday conditional off by one day

[karlfast]

The weekday conditional only works on the day before the actual day.

I'm submitting this on Monday morning (about 10am CST) and have just tested the following examples. The conditional works when I make it about Sunday (ie: the day before). It fails when I make it about Monday (ie: the day it should trigger)

This bunch conditional does NOT work when it is Monday

if weekday is Monday
    Messages
end

These bunches DO work on Monday.

if weekday is Sunday
    Messages
end

if weekday is before Monday
    Messages
end

I'm testing on tuesday, and if weekday is tuesday is functioning fine for me. What Time Zone is your system set for? What language? I'm not sure what could be affecting it like that.

Yesterday (Monday) and last week it would not work. I tried this many times over several days. I only posted yesterday given how many times this failed for me.

But today it worked. I saw your reply, opened my bunch, and changed Monday to Tuesday, and re-ran my test bunch. It worked fine. Yesterday it only made the adjustment as noted above. Weird, yes, but perhaps there is some mistake on my end that I overlooked.

You asked about my settings and there is nothing special.

Time Zone: CST Language: English (US)

I wondered if maybe I had First Day of Week set to Monday. In Busycal, yes. But not in System Prefs > Language & Region > Advanced. There the week starts on Sunday.

CONSIDER THIS SOLVED/CLOSED for now. I will followup if the problem returns or I discover something.

on Ventura 13.3, with these regional settings:

tried (to no effect):

• using 'Friday' instead of 'fri'
• changing (regional settings) date format
• debug logging in bunch (that log output is with debug log enabled)
• restarting bunch
• restarting macOS

I still haven't been able to replicate this, much less track down the cause. Will try to take another look at it as soon as I have some free time.
