invalidate report data for segment in development mode triggers a warning in some cases

[tsteur]

To reproduce have a segment with a definition: [email protected];pageUrl!@staging;pageUrl=@app;pageUrl!@cover.

Then run ./console core:invalidate-report-data ... to invalidate this segment.

This only happens when development mode is enabled.

Getting error:

WARNING [05:30:10] %extra.request_id% Avoiding segment subquery due to missing start date and/or an end date. Please ensure a start date and/or end date is set when initializing a segment if it's used to build a query. Stacktrace:

Sure that the invalidation doesn't work nevertheless? Looking at the code this is "only" a warning that is logged in development mode.

True 👍 Feel free to close it. After heaps of lines of warnings there's at the end actually a success message. It's a bit confusing/misleading but it works.

Closing the issue as this is an intentional behaviour when development mode is enabled.
