Default Clock wrong after update
-
@sdetweil thats correct - when I changed timezone from ‘null’ to ‘America/New_York,’ the module did not work at all. When I went into the MM config.js and added the timezone line, it worked.
Which now I realize is also a bit frustrating because one of my modules also shows sunrise/sunset times, and thats still off (EST + 4 hrs).
-
@sdetweil and also, yes. prior to the upgrade, my general config was NOT set to a TZ prior to the upgrade. I
-

correct… as there is no general timezone property
-
@sdetweil and what also confuses me is if I access the mirror via a web browser, the times are right!
-
@drstang I understand and agree with that…
the clock code runs in the browser… so one can only assume that the
moment code running in the browser is different between instances… -
@sdetweil Curious - are we still using Moment.js in default clock? I’ve heard issues relating with Moment and newer code - I think it might be failing to the point of no return.
-
@BKeyport AND it looks like we SHIP a copy… that is PROBABLY the problem
-
@sdetweil Makes sense - and certainly frustrating, as I realize I’m having issues with other modules that show times as well (showing sunrise/sunset, tide charts).
Any suggestions on a fix - as it is essentially making my MM unusable since my ‘main’ modules rely on time…
-
@drstang I am away til Tuesday.
not sure what a fix would be
-
@sdetweil I am a total novice at JS - but I fixed my modules by adjusting the configs - I incorporated moment-timezone.js and changed my code from ‘.local()’ to ‘.tz(America/New_York)’ Seems moment was having issues with the ‘local’ part of the code.
A bit annoying, and I’m sure another way could have been used, but the modules are at least showing correct time now!
