Problem
Because of weird timestamp mutations in plugin-server, we can emit very negative or far future dates into the CH JSON topic. This trips up things that parse by
YYYY-MM-DD
, and can't possibly be what the user is expecting.Changes
Consider
< 0, > 9999
years as invalid, so that we fallback to DateTime.utc() like we do for other invalid dates.We could be more restrictive here (
1900-2100
?) but as usual, ingestion changes make me nervous and I want to at least fix the specific issue at hand.👉 Stay up-to-date with PostHog coding conventions for a smoother review.
Does this work well for both Cloud and self-hosted?
Yes.
How did you test this code?
New unit test.
