TimeZone error

Question

TimeZone error

MartyLake opened this issue 8 years ago · 11 comments

Hi,

I tried to install everything and create a few tasks, but I run into an error when I use a filterview that should output at least one task.

What's the best way to provide you more informations to diagnostize this issue ?

Best,

the stack trace of python error

My setup is BashUbuntu for windows 10, with taskwarrior 2.5.1 built from source. Some dependencies were missing so I installed them with apt install. Maybe I built it with the wrong dependencies ? The "task" CLI tool seems to work OK

Answer 2 · 2016-12-22T13:04:10.000Z

I would guess that the problem is that the underlying tzlocal library: https://github.com/regebro/tzlocal/ cannot determine your local timezone. While we could provide some fix (i.e. configuration option specifying the timezone explicitly), could you please raise an issue there?

Answer 3 · 2017-01-04T02:44:21.000Z

According to the sources of tzlocal, it should be sufficient to corretly setup a env variable for TZ.

Answer 4 · 2017-01-04T10:14:17.000Z

Hi, sorry for not answering earlier.
Can you provide the exact spot where/how you found this information ?
maybe you could detect this error during plugin loading ?

Answer 5 · 2017-01-04T10:26:35.000Z

Bad news, this does not solve the issue for me. I've set the LZ variable to /etc/localtime according to (http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/TZ-Variable.html), but I have the same exact issue.

$ echo $LZ
/etc/localtime

$ cat $LZ

Answer 6 · 2017-01-04T12:34:17.000Z

The underlying tzlocal library uses TZ, not LZ:

https://github.com/regebro/tzlocal/blob/master/tzlocal/unix.py#L19

if I understand correctly, the following should work:

export TZ="Europe/Prague"

Answer 7 · 2017-01-04T14:48:19.000Z

Oups, my bad! But it didn't fix the issue:

$ echo $TZ
/etc/localtime

Answer 8 · 2017-01-04T17:42:43.000Z

Try setting TZ to a "continent/city" timezone string, i.e. try Europe/Prague I used, not /etc/localtime filepath. Albeit using file is correct per docs you link, it makes tzlocal create a 'local' zone which is the root of the problem (local zones cannot be copied for some reason, I created a bug for this in tzlocal some time ago).

It works! Thanks for taking the time to answer all my requests, I can't wait to use your system =)

Just a note: I also got this bug. You might want to mention the fix/workaround on the README for others to have a less frustrating start using taskwiki.
