metadata.date is not available but metadata.formatted_date is available while rendering page.html

[basi...@gmail.com]

A very strange issue: trying to output the date in page.html as follows:

{%- block body -%}

    {{ timestamp(metadata.date.strftime('%A, %d %B %Y').upper()) }}

    ...

The error:

    return not (getattr(obj, 'unsafe_callable', False) or
    UndefinedError: 'None' has no attribute 'strftime'

But metadata.formatted_date works fine! 

And metadata.date works perfectly in aggregated.html

Anyone has an idea what is happening with metadata.date?

page.html is also used for non-posts (blog pages) and pages don't have date. You probably want to make sure there actually is a date before formatting it: ( {%- if metadata.date %}

Thank you,

Vlad

Hi Vlad,

But in this case, why metadata.formatted_date is available? Isn't it a bit inconsistent to have actually the formatted_date, and not have the normal date?

Thank you,

Yeah, it is a bit weird, though I'm not sure how this happens. Can you provide some repro steps? What pages/posts are you seeing this with?

Thank you,

Vlad
