Class

UserTimeZoneFunctionalTest
Tests for user-configurable time zones.

Code

function testUserTimeZone() {
    // Setup date/time settings for Los Angeles time.

    // creation time. Since we are testing time zones with Daylight Saving
    // Time, and need to future proof against changes to the zoneinfo database,
    // we choose the 'I' format placeholder instead of a human-readable zone
    // name. With 'I', a 1 means the date is in DST, and 0 if not.
