at flag should use today's date

[phantomwhale]

This evening, I realised I forgot to track a couple of hours in the morning on an ongoing project, so typed

t resume -a 08:15
t out -a 10:15

But this added them as entries for TOMORROW morning ? Any reason why it does this, rather than use today's date ?

I believe the current behavior is to choose the time closest to the current time when there's ambiguity (e.g. if it's 9:15pm choose 10:15pm one hour in the future instead of 10:15am 11 hours in the past). For cases where this isn't the desired behavior you'd need to be more explicit (e.g. "today 10:15 am")

See https://github.com/samg/timetrap/blob/master/lib/timetrap/timer.rb#L34-L39 for the spot this is implemented.

Let me know if this isn't the behavior you're observing or if you have suggestions on how to improve it.

I guess I personally expected it to use today's date, by default, no matter what time I entered.

I also thought I entered those times I gave above late in the evening (around midnight), so would have thought they would have gone back 2-4 hours, rather than forward 8-10 hours from what you are suggesting ? But it was a while ago, so I cannot be sure if that's exactly what happened.

I've learned the ways of specifiying date and AM/PM now, so it's less of an issue as I get more comfortable with the tool, but from my perspective (and I understand it's just MY perspective !) the expectation above was the "least surprising" behavior
