TIL: Sweden had February 30 in 1712 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1712_in_Sweden , so I decided to see how chrono handled that.
use chrono::TimeZone; use chrono_tz::Europe::Stockholm; fn main() { let feb30 = Stockholm.ymd(1712,2,30); println!("Date: {:?}", feb30); }
target/debug/feb30 thread 'main' panicked at /home/snaggen/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/chrono-0.4.34/src/offset/mod.rs:252:40: No such local time note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
Result (as expected): Not well! 😄
I also tested Java with
ZonedDateTime feb30 = ZonedDateTime.of(1712,2,30, 0,0,0,0, ZoneId.of("Europe/Stockholm"));
with simmilar result
java.time.DateTimeException: Invalid date 'FEBRUARY 30'
So, lets take a minute of silence for all the programmers of history related software, may the spagetti monster have mercy on their souls.
I think it blows up because you need the Swedish calendar for the date to be valid, our calendar doesn’t have this day. The date occurred when Sweden used a different calendar
