Hi,
In my unit tests I have been using a helper function that creates a DateTime
object with a specified DateTimeZone. I recently relocated to Denmark and
now some of my unit tests fail because they were expecting GMT (Iceland is
were I originally come from) in a formatted date string. The following
investigating unit test shows my problem:
public void test_ThatCreatingADateTimeWithAFixedZoneBehavesAsExpected()
{
DateTime dt = new DateTime(2006, 2, 11, 15, 0, 0, 0,
DateTimeZone.forID("Atlantic/Reykjavik"));
assertEquals("11.02.2006-15:00:00:00-GMT",
dt.toString("dd.MM.yyyy-HH:mm:ss:SS-z"));
assertEquals("Sat Feb 11 15:00:00 GMT 2006", dt.toDate().toString());
assertEquals("Sat Feb 11 15:00:00 GMT 2006", new
Date(dt.getMillis()).toString());
}
The assertEquals statements nr. 2 and 3 both fail because the result turns
out to be Sat Feb 11 15:00:00 GMT 2006", which is not what I expected! Am
I doing something wrong here or should the conversion from DateTime to Date
really use the machine´s time zone?
Best regards,
Dadi.
