Re: [Joda-interest] LocalDate(java.util.Date) JUnit test failure

[Pietro <com...@gm...>]

Hi all,

Sorry, I've made a mistake and I have mixed some of my code with the
standard java.util.* and joda, I am reposting the unit tests, which fail as
described earlier.

  @Test
    public void passingTest2() {
        TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("EST"));
        Date date = new Date(2016 - 1900, 1 - 1, 1);
        LocalDate localDate = new LocalDate(date);
        assertEquals(new LocalDate(2016, 1, 1), localDate);
    }

    @Test
    public void failingTest2() {
        TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("EET"));// Eastern
European Time GMT+2

        Date date = new Date(2016 - 1900, 1 - 1, 1);
        LocalDate localDate = new LocalDate(date);

        System.out.println(date.toString());
        System.out.println(DateTimeZone.getDefault());
        System.out.println(localDate);
        assertEquals(new LocalDate(2016, 1, 1), localDate);
    }
