tp.date.weekday offset by one day. Perhaps due to leap year?
Plugin information:
- OS: Windows 10
- Templater version: 1.16.0
- Obsidian version: v1.5.12
Describe the bug tp.date.weekday is offset by one, gives date of last weeks sunday.
Expected behavior tp.date.weekday, given 0 should give the date of current weeks monday.
Screenshots this is my template:
# Week Ahead
## Monday
[[<% tp.date.weekday("Do of MMMM YYYY", 0) %>]]
result: created: 2024-04-08 07:50
Week Ahead
Monday
[[7th of April 2024]]
Additional context I believe something is going wrong considering we're in a leap year.
I believe the behavior needs to be documented better. Templater is using the weekday function from moment. Here's a line from the moment documentation.
If the locale assigns Monday as the first day of the week, moment().weekday(0) will be Monday. If Sunday is the first day of the week, moment().weekday(0) will be Sunday.
The locale in Obsidian depends on the locale on your device. The Templater docs should make this behavior more clear.
Thanks for getting back to me, you're correct, my locale was set to Sunday as first day of the week.
