[Development] Behavior change in QtQuick 2.0 Qml ListModel (for javascript date object)

[Nils Jeisecke]

Hi,

the following code works just fine with Qt Quick 1.1.
However porting this to 2.0 gives the following output:

date is [object Object]
file:///...q2listmodel.qml:9: TypeError: Object #<Object> has no
method 'getMonth'

Does the new ListModel/ListElement implementation apply some automatic
conversion for javascript date objects?
Putting other javascript objects in there works just fine.

---
import QtQuick 1.1  /* 2.0 */

Item {
  ListModel { id: listModel }

  Component.onCompleted: {
    listModel.append({ "date": new Date } )
    console.log("date is " + listModel.get(0).date)
    console.log("month is " + listModel.get(0).date.getMonth())
  }
}
---

Interestingly wrapping the date object in another object works:
---
import QtQuick 2.0

Item {
  ListModel { id: listModel }

  Component.onCompleted: {
    listModel.append({ date: { x: new Date } }) /* wrap into x */
    console.log("date is " + listModel.get(0).date.x)
    console.log("month is " + listModel.get(0).date.x.getMonth())
  }
}

Bug or feature?
