Thoughts on how I can catch this type of error? I have an invalid date ie 11/31/2910. There is no 31st day of November. But my little logic does not catch that and timex seems to parse it all the same.
pry(2)> Timex.parse(start_date_string, "%m/%d/%Y", :strftime)
{:ok, ~N[2910-11-31 00:00:00]}
Heres my changeset validation gate
def parse_date(cs, key, string) do
case Timex.parse(string, "%m/%d/%Y", :strftime) do
{:ok, date} ->
cs |> put_change(key, date)
{:error, _} ->
cs |> add_error("#{key}_string" |> String.to_atom(), "not a valid date")
end
end
but as I said since timex parses the date it passes the gate on its way to the db where it blows up

I think part of the problem is that
Timex.parse/3is only returning aNaiveDateTimewhen you’ll probably want aDateTime.This is slightly improved:
Although it seems that
Timexshould be returning an{:error, term()}instead of raising that Erlang error. Maybe that’s a bug in Timex?michalmuskala
Yeah, this looks like a bug in timex to me. IMHO it should never allow creating invalid dates when parsing.
