Hello,
I have just started with elixir and phoenix recently with my pet project.
In code I am trying to use tzdata.
I have set the initialization of tzdata database in the config/test.exs
import Config
config :elixir, :time_zone_database, Tzdata.TimeZoneDatabase
IO.puts("AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA")
IO.inspect(DateTime.now("Europe/Stockholm"))
# .... other stuff
but it seems it is not properly initialized since i see in the test run
Running tests...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
{:error, :utc_only_time_zone_database}
and my [doc] test failed:
1) doctest Scraper.WiredDayParser.parse_date!/1 (1) (Scraper.WiredDayParserTest)
test/scrapper/wired_day_parser_test.exs:4
** (FunctionClauseError) no function clause matching in DateTime.from_naive/3
The following arguments were given to DateTime.from_naive/3:
# 1
{:ok, ~N[2023-04-07 23:21:20]}
# 2
"Europe/Stockholm"
# 3
Tzdata.TimeZoneDatabase
Attempted function clauses (showing 3 out of 3):
def from_naive(naive_datetime, "Etc/UTC", _)
def from_naive(%{calendar: Calendar.ISO} = naive_datetime, time_zone, time_zone_database)
def from_naive(%{calendar: calendar} = naive_datetime, time_zone, time_zone_database) when calendar != Calendar.ISO
stacktrace:
(elixir 1.14.3) lib/calendar/datetime.ex:496: DateTime.from_naive/3
(elixir 1.14.3) lib/calendar/datetime.ex:618: DateTime.from_naive!/3
(for doctest at) lib/scraper/wired_dates_parser.ex:8: (test)
Appreciate if someone could give me a clue about what might be missed.

Two separate issues:
files like
config/test.exsare loaded before the whole system is up; IIRC the TZ database isn’t available from them. They aren’t generally good places to “try out” code.your test failure appears to be caused by passing an
{:ok, %NaiveDateTime}tuple as the first argument toDateTime.from_naive!, when it expects only theNaiveDateTimestructure.mistatwista
ha, that was a dumb mistake.
Thank you for helping me with that @al2o3cr. Very much appreciated.
