Title:
(stderr) Failed to parse new birthday string
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When I run empathy from command line, I can see following in my
console window:
alex@umbrella:~$ empathy &
[1] 3786
alex@umbrella:~$
(empathy:3786): telepathy-WARNING **: tpf-persona.vala:841: Failed to parse
new birthday string '11.06.1981'
(empathy:3786): telepathy-WARNING **: tpf-persona.vala:841: Failed to parse
new birthday string '1/01/1981'
alex@umbrella:~$
Is it a problem to parse these date strings? Seems it would be clear.
The first one:
11.06.1981 is standard form of date in Russia. (day.month.year)
The second is American one:
1/01/1981 ( month/day/year ).
As a programmer, I understand we are expected another date format
here, but why just don't parse it properly in case of exception
occured?
If it already parsed properly may be its not usefull to print out this
warning.
