Fix #224: "Auto-detected date is day before receipt date"

[a17t]

Fixing #224 by

1. Adding the timezone to the parsed date from the document
2. Adding corresponding assertion in consumption test

I would rather get rid of the time zone entirely 😕

We had some issues with time zones in paperless_app before, they can be very hard to debug.

IMO it doesn't really make sense to be able to change the time zone. If I move to Australia and change the paperless time zone accordingly, I still would like the creation date to stay the same.

Wouldn't it be possible to just store the date in the database without a time value at all?

Just from fixing that issue I can say, most used time/date APIs include the timezone. So getting rid of it might require major changes and workarounds to ignore the timezone.

But in general I agree, the topic of timezones is quite complex and we need to decide on whether we want to support timezones or just say "the date of a document is timezone-less".

What do you think about creating an issue to discuss that proposed change, so the team can discuss and decide on that?

Yes, I think that's a good idea.

@bauerj I would like to say my 2 cents about this timezone issue. Where should I write? Here, on #224 or elsewhere?

[bauerj]

Probably here: #350

Apart from the high-level discussion about time-zones, this looks good and fixes the issue.
