"can't compare datetime.datetime to datetime.date" while "draft_if_future_date: true"

[whallin]

Context

I'm setting up the blog plugin to work how I want it to. For example, "scheduled" blog posts should always be marked as drafts by default. But this isn't quite working the way it should, based on how the official documentation describes how it should work, at least.

Bug description

While draft_if_future_date is set to true in the blog plugin, the build always seems to fail with the error TypeError: can't compare datetime.datetime to datetime.date.

Reproduction

Steps to reproduce

1. Setup the blog plugin following the official documentation
2. Set the draft_if_future_date property to true
3. Build the site using mkdocs build (with the info plugin disabled, of course)

Thanks for reporting and for the excellent reproduction. Fixed in bd010db. Might be a regression, as this worked before. I made sure that it now works with date, as well as datetime values, e.g.:

date: 2023-08-01 # date
date: 2023-08-01T12:00:00 # datetime
