Assessment
This issue has not been assessed yet.
Description
There's an unexpected behavior regarding POSIXct class with fread and fwrite when yaml = TRUE:
dt = data.table(date = as.POSIXct(c("2006-05-01", "2006-05-02")),
b = as.factor(c(1,2)),
c = c(3,4))
print(class(dt$date))
fwrite(dt, "dt.csv", yaml = TRUE)
dt2 = fread("dt.csv", yaml = TRUE)
print(class(dt2$date))
