[jira] Updated: (JDO-547) api2
ObjectIdentityTest.testStringNullDateConstructor fails due to unexpected
date format in different locales
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-547?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Michael Bouschen updated JDO-547:
---------------------------------
Attachment: JDO-547.patch
I propose to remove the test method testStringNullDateConstructor. In order to work in a locale other than the US locale we need to register a date formatter based on the US locale that is able to parse the specified date literal. This is already tested in method testStringDateConstructor.
Attached you find a patch removing method testStringNullDateConstructor from ObjectIdentityTest in api2 and api2-legacy.

> Method testStringNullDateConstructor of api2 test class ObjectIdentityTest uses a DateFormat instance obtained by DateFormat.getInstance(). This returns the default date/time formatter which is then used to parse a date in format "M/d/yy h:mm a".
> This does not work in case the default date/time formatter uses a format different from "M/d/yy h:mm a", because of a different locale. E.g. the format for the German locale is "dd.MM.yy HH:mm". This leads to an exception when parsing the date string:
> Testcase: testStringNullDateConstructor(javax.jdo.identity.ObjectIdentityTest): Caused an ERROR
> Error parsing Date string "10/9/2007 4:26 PM" at position 2 using date format "dd.MM.yy HH:mm".
> javax.jdo.JDOUserException: Error parsing Date string "10/9/2007 4:26 PM" at position 2 using date format "dd.MM.yy HH:mm".
