The core:invalidate-report-data command is giving an invalid date error when given multiple dates #17146

I'm trying to invalidate the last week of archives so they can be re-run after some bulk updates.

I can get a single date to run just fine, but specifying multiple dates (per this FAQ) barfs out an invalid date error every time.

• Matomo 4.1.1
• PHP 7.4 on Ubuntu 20.x

Example from FAQ:
./console core:invalidate-report-data --dates=2012-01-01,2011-10-15 --sites=1,3,5

Works fine:
./console core:invalidate-report-data --sites=1,2 --dates=2021-01-25

Does not work fine:
./console core:invalidate-report-data --sites=1,2 --dates=2021-01-25,2021-01-24

Results:

Invalidating day periods in 2021-01-25,2021-01-24 [segment = ]...
Invalidating week periods in 2021-01-25,2021-01-24 [segment = ]...

Specified date range is invalid.

I've worked around this by putting each date in it's own line of a bash script, but I assume that is less performant than passing multiple dates in one go? Or not?

does it work to flip the date @nciske ?

./console core:invalidate-report-data --sites=1,2 --dates=2021-01-24,2021-01-25

It does work. Fascinating!

👍 great, thanks for confirming. I'll adjust the example in the FAQ as it was wrong there. Thanks @nciske
