Dave Thompson commented on DAFFODIL-1505:
-----------------------------------------
Test test_timeZoneFormats7 still does not round trip on v3.2.0 pre-release.
Test still does not unparse to the expected value of "08:43.Eastern Standard
Time" (original source) as identified in 27/Jan/2021 comment.
> time zone behavior depends on machine where daffodil is running

> Key: DAFFODIL-1505
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1505
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Back End, General
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Mike Beckerle
> Priority: Minor
>
> test test_timeZoneFormats7 fails running "round trip" on the bamboo automatic
> build server.
> However it passes on all developers workstations.
> The suggested cause is that Daffodil unparsing is using the ICU libraries,
> and we're not controlling all the parameters of time-zone behavior, and that
> is leaving some unparser behavior to be inherited from the installation.
> Since the NCSA bamboo server is in Central Time Zone (US), that's different
> from the Tresys developers all of whom are Eastern Time Zone (US).
> This is a bug, because DFDL processors are not supposed to have any behavior
> that depends on the installation locale, but rather all behavior depends on
> the DFDL schema and external variables that schema provides.
> The installation locale for the DFDL processor can affect error-message
> language/locale, but not what happens in parsing or unparsing of data.
> So we need to track down what is not being adequately specified here, and
> control that.
