Prework
- Read and agree to the code of conduct and contributing guidelines.
- If there is already a relevant issue, whether open or closed, comment on the existing thread instead of posting a new issue.
- Post a minimal reproducible example so the maintainer can troubleshoot the problems you identify. A reproducible example is:
- Runnable: post enough R code and data so any onlooker can create the error on their own computer.
- Minimal: reduce runtime wherever possible and remove complicated details that are irrelevant to the issue at hand.
- Readable: format your code according to the tidyverse style guide.
Description
I was expecting that use_tz would translate the input time into the timezone provided to use_tz, but it seems to not be having an effect.
Reproducible example
dt <- withr::with_timezone("UTC", Sys.time())
attr(dt, "tzone") <- "UTC"
strftime(dt, "%F %T", tz = "UTC")
#> [1] "2023-03-22 13:55:52"
strftime(dt, "%F %T", tz = "America/New_York")
#> [1] "2023-03-22 09:55:52"
bigD::fdt(dt)
#> [1] "2023-03-22T13:55:52Z"
bigD::fdt(dt, use_tz = "America/New_York")
#> [1] "2023-03-22T13:55:52Z"Expected result
I was expecting the output of fdt() to use the America/New_York timezone without me having to adjust the input time object.
attr(dt, "tzone") <- "America/New_York"
bigD::fdt(dt)
