Timeline calls today yesterday

Description

In the hours between UTC midnight and my local (UTC-0700) midnight, the trac timeline calls the current day "yesterday".

All dates and times are correct; it is just the word yesterday that is wrong.

The server's timezone is UTC; my trac account's preferences and my browser are both -0700.

Here is a patch which fixes this. I tested it with my timezone set to -0700 as well as UTC.

This timezone stuff is a bit confusing. It seems like since today = datetime.now(req.tz) it should not be necessary to also pass req.tz to format_date, but apparently it is.

Thanks for the report and the patch.

Yes, I think format_date should not require an extra req.tz argument here.

So instead of:

def format_datetime(t=None, format='%x %X', tzinfo=None):
    tz = tzinfo or localtz
    t = to_datetime(t, tzinfo).astimezone(tz)

we should do something like:

def format_datetime(t=None, format='%x %X', tzinfo=None):
    if tzinfo:
        tz = tzinfo
    elif isinstance(t, (date, time, datetime)):
        tz = t.tzinfo or localtz
    else:
        tz = localtz
    if not isinstance(t, datetime):
        t = to_datetime(t, tzinfo).astimezone(tz)

(to be tested)

#9386 reported the same issue, and suggested the same patch as comment:2. That patch does resolve the issue, so I applied it in [9799]. I also tested the suggestion in comment:3, but not only does it not solve the issue, but it also mangles displayed times in various locations (e.g. in the date/time preferences). I'm leaving this ticket open to find a correct solution.

I'll take a look.

comment:7 by Remy Blank, 14 years ago

The original issue seems to be fixed with [9799], so we could close this against 0.12.

Fine by me.
