2.6.X: eow does not respect weekstart

[elig0n]

• What command(s) did you run?

.taskrc contains:

weekstart=Sunday

and I ran:

task XXX modify due:eow

• What did you expect to happen?

Have due set to next Sunday

• What actually happened?

For today Sunday the 22th, the end of the day i.e. Monday the 23rd was set as due date (only few hours left).

@smemsh I think this is what you mentioned as a known bug in #3623 (comment)?

Right now rc.weekstart is only used for "task calendar" afaict, and is not used to set Datetime::weekstart in libshared. In any case setting that for libshared would not fix everything that is influenced by the week start to be able to work with different values.

For the relative week shortcuts like eow, Taskwarrior currently uses Monday based weeks (first day of week starting mon 00:00:00), but if absolute week numbers are given like 2014-W30 those will use Sunday weeks.

Updating libshared will fix absolute week numbers to parse into dates based on [the monday-based] ISO8601. It would not fix the relative dates to respect rc.weekstart. So that is the additional work in aforementioned issue.
