Liquid date filter no longer working with ISO formatted dates

Technical Q&A
1

The date filter seems to have changed and is no longer recognizing ISO formatted dates.

For example, this:

{{ p.last | date: '%m/%d/%y %-I:%M %p' }}

Would output 03/16/2019 5:30 pm when p.last is ‘2019-03-16T17:30’:

If you capture p.last separately then it will display the date correctly:

{% capture test %}{{ p.last }}{% endcapture %}
{{ test | date: '%m/%d/%y %-I:%M %p' }}

We have thousands of shops using this so it would be great if could work as before.

Thanks, Gavin.

An example of where it breaks: https://charleston.classesbykessler.com/collections/classes/products/wine-blending

Add that to the cart and the date/time is not formatted correctly.

Converting times has also stopped working:

{{ p.last | date: '%-I:%M %p' }}

This would previously turn ‘14:00’ into ‘2 pm’.

Thanks, Gavin.

I’m using {{ p.last | date: ‘%m/%d/%y %-I:%M %p’ }} in the order confirmation email, and want to remove the time from the end of it.

How do I achieve this? I’ve tried removing %-I:%M %p but then in the email it shows “Liquid error: argument out of range”.
