Date in entry slug is not UTC but local

[laril]

In my setup the posts ase saved using this slug:
slug: "{{year}}-{{month}}-{{day}}-{{hour}}-{{minute}}-{{second}}"

In Decap cms I get files which are using UTC timezone, but it seems that Sveltia is now using local timezone. This now causes for me other issues as the website code expects the times in urls to be specified in UTC.

I don't think I previously had the some problem even with Sveltia, so has something related to this changed in Sveltia?

Will check.

I don’t think I have made a change to Sveltia CMS recently but can confirm the bug. The fix is coming right away.

Fixed in v0.49.5 🙇🏼

Hey @kyoshino I just tried this in v0.51.1 and the slug was still created in local TZ, not UTC. date for my notes is configured like this:

- {
    label: "Publish Date",
    name: "date",
    widget: "datetime",
    default: "{{now}}",
    format: "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ",
    picker_utc: false,
}

And slug is like this:

path: "{{year}}/{{slug}}"
slug: "{{date | date('YYYY-MM-DD_HHmm')}}"

Does date need to be set to UTC for this to work?

Can open a new issue if thats easier, apologies for posting on an old one.

In v0.52.0 I’ve added a new option for converting the local date to UTC, so the change won’t break backward compatibility 😉 Pass 'utc' as the second argument for the date transformer:

-slug: "{{date | date('YYYY-MM-DD_HHmm')}}"
+slug: "{{date | date('YYYY-MM-DD_HHmm', 'utc')}}"
