Keep getting this message in my output:

Skipping file:///C:/.../doc/news/2020-03-10-Season-9-Kickoff.md due to having Published metadata of 3/10/2020 12:00:00 AM in the future (current date and time is 3/9/2020 11:00:25 PM)

It's very not clear that this means it's grabbing the date metadata data from the filename. I still want it to generate the file, I'll choose to upload it when I choose, I'm prepping in advance and I want to see the preview of the site.

Is there a setting to turn this 'feature' off?

This message tells you that post has Published date in the future. So it will be invisible until that date and is not generated.

But... @daveaglick
I'm also looking for preview mode when I'm planning my posts for future publishing. Is there any switch/param for that?

Sorry, I can see why this is annoying. Unfortunately there's no toggle in Wyam to turn this behavior off. In the past I've always added the publish date after drafting a post to avoid this, though I can see where it's helpful to be able setting it earlier.

I'd certainly be willing to take and release a PR that changes this behavior in Wyam. I've also created an issue to address the same problem in Statiq and will get that into the next Statiq Web release: statiqdev/Statiq.Web#910
