I recently updated a few :date column types in one table to be :utc_datetime, and have added a helper method to add hours + minutes to those fields in order to make them convertible to a :utc_datetime if they come in with only MMDDYY set. It gets through the type casting / validations, but fails when it’s time to insert into the db (Repo.insert(changeset)), with this error:
** (CaseClauseError) no case clause matching: {{{2010, 4, 17}, {0, 0, 0, 0}}}
Here are the relevant items from the model model:
schema "campaigns" do
field :start_date, :utc_datetime
field :end_date, :utc_datetime
field :due_date, :utc_datetime
field :original_copy, :string
...
timestamps(type: :utc_datetime)
end
@doc """

def changeset(struct, params \\ %{}) do
struct
|> cast(utc_compatible_dates(params), [:start_date, :end_date, :due_date, :original_copy])
|> validate_required([:start_date, :end_date, :due_date, :original_copy])
end
defp utc_compatible_dates(params) do
midnight = %{hour: 0, minute: 0}
try do
Map.update!(params, :start_date, &Map.merge(midnight, &1))

end
here’s what happens, with full stacktrace:

Can anyone tell me where I’m going wrong? Happy to provide more info. I’m new to Phoenix / Elixir so I imagine I’m missing something obvious.
