oh the pain of Date, will it never end?

moving to the "JavaScript Engine" component.

Christine has fixed some of these, Not sure which ones are left.

i'll check em in.

I ran all the tests in mozilla/js/tests/ecma/Date/* and they all ran fine without any error. So looks like this has been fixed. Test List: ecma/Date/<br> Skip List: (none)<br> 149 test(s) selected, 149 test(s) completed, 0 failures reported (0% failed)<br> Engine command line: /u/mitesh/seamonkey/mozilla/js/src/js <br> OS type: Linux skaro.mcom.com 2.2.12-20smp #1 SMP Mon Sep 27 10:34:45 EDT 1999 i686 unknown<br> Testcase execution time: 6 minutes, 18 seconds.<br> Tests completed on Wed Aug 16 14:48:43 2000.<br><br>

previous owner's email invaid. reassigning to a breathing human to verify that this has been fixed.

Over to phil, who is actually working on this issue

This should be fixed now. I deleted the hard-coded line TZ_DIFF = -8 contained in 30 testcases. Example: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/tests/ecma/Date/15.9.4.3.js This value is now set dynamically via the function getTimeZoneDiff() in: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/tests/ecma/shell.js A further 15 testcases contain "expected" result vectors hard-coded for Pacific Standard Time. These tests now call a function that adjusts the result vectors for the tester's own timezone. Example: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/tests/ecma/Date/15.9.3.2-1.js

Marking Verified. I have run all the date tests in js/tests/ecma/Date and js/tests/ecma_3/Date in many different timezones. We are only having trouble with a couple specific testcases in a couple of timezones east of GMT. See bug 63720, for example. Since the bulk hard-coding problems have been resolved, marking this bug Verified. We can deal with specific issues with specific bugs as above -
