[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#861592: node-dateformat: FTBFS: AssertionError: '1:19:44 PM GMT' === '1:19:44 PM UTC'

[Florian Vessaz]

Dear maintainer,

Whether the issue arises or not depends on the timezone of the system.
For instance the test suite fails in the following timezones: Etc/GMT,
Etc/GMT+1 or Pacific/Tahiti (and ina lot of others too).

I couldn't find a reliable way to set the timezone after node has started.
I've found the following discussion in the NodeJS issue tracker
confirming this situation:
https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/issues/3286

IMHO it would thus be best to set the timezone to UTC before running the
tests. This can easily be achieved from debian/control:

override_dh_auto_test:
TZ=Etc/UTC mocha -R spec

Cheers,
-- Florian
