[squeak-dev] [error] DateAndTime changes produce different result on #readFrom:

Hi, there.

The internal representation of DateAndTime changed from

seconds
offset
jdn
nanos

in Squeak 5.2 to this in 5.3:

utcMicroseconds
localOffsetSeconds

---

If tests in "Cryptography" relied on the internal representation of DateAndTime, those tests have to be adapted. Looking at ASN1Test >> #testUTCTime, this is the case:

testUTCTime

| bytes obj testObj newBytes |
bytes := #[23 13 48 55 48 51 50 50 49 53 53 56 49 55 90].
testObj := DateAndTime fromString: '2007-03-22T15:58:17+00:00'.
obj := ASN1InputStream decodeBytes: bytes.
self assert: (obj = testObj).
newBytes := ASN1OutputStream encode: testObj.
self assert: (bytes asByteArray = newBytes).
newBytes := ASN1OutputStream encode: obj.
self assert: (bytes asByteArray = newBytes).

The "bytes" are different for (encoded) instances of DateAndTime in Squeak 5.3.

Best,
Marcel

In truth, this is an issue with incomplete DateAndTime testing. As there
are resulting differences, this ought to be tested  and modified in the
package containing the core DateAndTime definition and NOT an override
in the Cryptography package. I do not know who owns DateAndTime. I will
continue to slowly dig into the issue..
