1627767 - moz-phab submit submitting patches without dates

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Conduit :: moz-phab, defect, P1)

Description

[:Gijs (he/him)]

I just submitted https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D69849 . It has no date information ( https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D69849?vs=on&id=255994#toc ).

Output on my side:

$ moz-phab submit . -y

This is bad because it leads to commits landing without date info, which in turn leads to brokenness elsewhere (cf. bug 1627229).

From matrix:

@kwan > gijs: no date doesn't seem to be exclusive to the hg code of moz-phab, seems like it applies to the git one as well: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D69830?id=255883

I think using moz-phab submit --arc would be a temporary workaround for users.
