Re: [go-nuts] Time parsing PDT -> PST

[Kyle Lemons]

Can you show us which part of that output was different than what you expected?

Can someone help me with this problem:

Code:

  format :=       "2006-01-02T15:04:05 -0700 MST"

  dateToParse :=  "2006-01-02T15:04:05 -0700 PDT"

  parsedTime, err := time.Parse(format, dateToParse)

  fmt.Println("Error: ", err)

  fmt.Println("Parsed Representation:", parsedTime)

  fmt.Println("Local Representation: ", parsedTime.Local())

  name, offset := time.Now().Zone()

  fmt.Println("Time zone name:  ", name)

  fmt.Println("Time zone offset:", offset)

  currentTime := time.Now()

  fmt.Println("Current time:                  ", currentTime)

  fmt.Println("Current time as Local:         ", currentTime.Local())

  fmt.Println("Current time as UTC -> Local:  ", currentTime.UTC().Local())

Output:

Error:  <nil>

Parsed Representation: 2006-01-02 15:04:05 -0700 PDT

Local Representation:  2006-01-02 14:04:05 -0800 PST

This is the correct representation of a date in Jauary -- PST.

 

Time zone name:   PDT

Time zone offset: -25200

Current time:                   2013-04-10 22:17:49.690857 -0700 PDT

Current time as Local:          2013-04-10 22:17:49.690857 -0700 PDT

Current time as UTC -> Local:   2013-04-10 22:17:49.690857 -0700 PDT

These are all the correct representation of a date during April -- PDT.

 

Why would parsed date changed timezones when time.Now() manages to correctly preserve it?
