Custom date format not being used in format-message

[rlivsey]

I've added a custom date formatter to simply display the short form of a week-day, but that doesn't seem to be being used in a message. It's working with format-date but not with format-message.

Here's an example repo containing an Ember app with the code below:

Eg:

export default {
  date: {
    shortWeekDay: {
      weekday: "short"
    }
  }
};

This is then used in a message:

import Locale from 'ember-intl/models/locale';

export default Locale.extend({
  locale: 'en',
  messages: {
    test: "should be a week-day initial: {day, date, shortWeekDay}"
  }
});

When displaying this in a template I'd expect the same date format to be shown:

<p>format-date: {{format-date date format="shortWeekDay"}}</p>
<p>format-message: {{format-message (intl-get "messages.test") day=date}}</p>

But instead I get the following:

FWIW - I'm seeing the same thing happen with time formats too, {{format-time}} works fine, but using the same custom format in {{format-message}} doesn't work.

You're absolutely correct, they should be returning the same results. I'll do some digging tonight as to what is going on.

Ah, found the problem. So day is more or less a "reserved" format option parameter for format-message, which is a mistake. Format-message should not take any format options as arguments to the helper. The following will work, but I'll also remove the options I have on format-message.

Will work for you:
{{format-message '{dayOfWeek, date, shortWeekDay}' dayOfWeek=yesterday}}

Full list of properties that will be treated as format options:

---

Format date/time

'localeMatcher', 'timeZone', 'hour12', 'formatMatcher', 'weekday', 'era', 'year', 'month', 'day', 'hour', 'minute', 'second','timeZoneName'

Format relative

'style', 'units'

Format number

'localeMatcher', 'style', 'currency', 'currencyDisplay', 'useGrouping', 'minimumIntegerDigits', 'minimumFractionDigits','maximumFractionDigits', 'minimumSignificantDigits', 'maximumSignificantDigits'

1.1.4 published which will resolve this. Side note, phantom doesn't seem to like the weekday formatter, in case your tests fail phantom but pass in chrome.

Awesome, thanks. Trust me to pick a reserved word for my first experiment!

Just updated to 1.1.4 and can confirm this resolves the issue in my app. Thanks.
