I failed test15 several times, before finding a comment, that it had to do with handling invalid dates, the test cases check that. Return current in that case.
I checked your code, seems you’re checking for that already.
Additionally I’ve checked for the format yyyy-mm-dd.
// Helper to validate yyyy-mm-dd and check if it's a real date
// otherwise, return current date
function parseValidDate(dateStr) {
if (typeof dateStr !== 'string')
return new Date();
dateStr = dateStr.trim();
// Regex for yyyy-mm-dd
const regex = /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/;
if (!regex.test(dateStr))
return new Date();
const date = new Date(dateStr);
// Check for invalid date
if (isNaN(date.getTime()))
return new Date();
return date;
}
