问题
I have automated test running in my CI/CD build pipeline, but the time in DevOps is UTC and my assertions tests check the local time. Is there a way to set a time zone in my build pipeline?
回答1:
Yes. For example this simple BASH script run using a Microsoft Hosted Agent:
echo "checking date"
date
echo "setting date to Asia/Kolkata"
sudo timedatectl set-timezone "Asia/Kolkata"
date
The results as seen in the log:
2019-07-05T20:26:48.5992486Z checking date
2019-07-05T20:26:48.5992954Z Fri Jul 5 20:26:48 UTC 2019
2019-07-05T20:26:48.5993264Z setting date to Asia/Kolkata
2019-07-05T20:26:48.9107025Z Sat Jul 6 01:56:48 IST 2019
As you can see, you can manipulate the local time on the agent. I do not agree with the other poster that this is necessarily a bad thing to do in the context of running tests.
You put some extra code in your tests to account for the local / target time or you could add 1 line into your build agent and achieve the same thing.
It just depends, the devil is in the details. Be careful with how you handle time.

using Powershell, you can do:
Get-TimeZone
Set-TimeZone "India Standard Time"
Get-TimeZone
