Error generating the document Invalid date string (12 Déc 2022) passed into 'format_datetime()' filter

[kamz69]

In the report template, i added the following jinja code to get a nicer formated date :
{{ project.end_date | format_datetime("d/m/Y") }}

When the project.end_date is in november, there is no issue but when it is set to December (décembre in french), I got this error :

I use the last version of GhostWriter.

Hey @kamz69,

Thank you for reporting this. A while back, I switched to Python's dateutils for better support for non-English month names. It seems to not like Décembre. I assume any string with an accent mark might cause an issue.

from dateutil.parser import parse
parse("12 Déc 2022")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/dateutil/parser/_parser.py", line 1368, in parse
    return DEFAULTPARSER.parse(timestr, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/dateutil/parser/_parser.py", line 643, in parse
    raise ParserError("Unknown string format: %s", timestr)
dateutil.parser._parser.ParserError: Unknown string format: 12 Déc 2022

I get the same result with locale set to fr_FR. I've found some conflicting information on the subject, but it may be necessary to provide translations (e.g., Déc == Dec) for the initial date string formatting. I'll look into more to see what the best solution might be.
