--- Comment #3 from Mariusz_W <mawa...@gmail.com> --- Felix, thanks for the PR, I wasn't aware it existed. In current implemetation there is some additional calculations because function (timeShift) always use ZonedDateTime even for input date without time zone). In such case we have default offset in DataFormatter (in TimeShift.createFormatter there is parseDefaulting(ChronoField.OFFSET_SECONDS, ZonedDateTime.now().getOffset().getTotalSeconds()) ) which may cause errors because now() is used and we get something like 2021-03-27T15:00+02:00 (in CET) which is not existing date. It should be 2021-03-27T15:00+01:00, it's one day before change from CET (+01) to CEST (+02). Additionaly there are some inconsistency - if we use timeShift function as in testNowWithComplexPeriod() where now() is used we can get error as described in issue however If we use time on input e.g. 2021-03-27T15:00:00 (day before DST) and add "P1D" we don't have error because offset is used in createFormatter and DST is not managed. >From my point of view (and docs) I deduce that this function (timeShift) should by simple one point interface to Java time api. Function should recognize input format with time zone or without time zone and make adequate calculations. When time zone is present in input format the ZoneDateTime class should be used. In case of time without zone LocalDateTime class should be used. Duration class is used not Period class of course in implementation. This is first approach. The second approach is always use ZonedDateTime (even for input string without zone) but make calculations based on system zone. This is like current implementation but in TimeShift.createFormatter this line is not used .parseDefaulting(ChronoField.OFFSET_SECONDS, ZonedDateTime.now().getOffset().getTotalSeconds()) but withZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()) is used. This change prevents problem I described at beginning. I think personally that this approach is less intuitive because on input there is no time zone but timeShift is using time zone calculations internally. When we use LocalDateTime the operation "P1D" on Duration and Period get the same result on DSP because zone is not used in calculations. After this lenghty disquisition:) I think that maybe not only test in test class should be changed but also TimeShift implementation. What do you think? Do I miss something? I will try to work on it and present some pull request. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
