1st day of this month bug? about chronic HOT 7 CLOSED

nvm, found the trick :)

ruby-1.9.2-p0 > Chronic.parse 'current month first day'
=> 2011-01-01 12:00:00 -0500

Looks like this broke in v8.0.

irb> Chronic.parse 'current month first day'
=> nil

ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0]

Please open a specific feature request if you want to support parsing 'current month first day', but do remember that Chronic is for parsing natural strings, current month first day is certainly not that. 1st day of this month works fine.

@injekt

Chronic.parse("1st day of this month", :guess => false)
=> Wed May 22 00:00:00 +0200 2013..Thu May 23 00:00:00 +0200 2013

@fare5 No, this feature is not yet supported in Chronic.

from chronic.

Chronic.parse("1st DATE of this month", :guess => false) # works
Chronic.parse("1st day of this month", :guess => false) # returns today (why???)
