im running Go version 1.3 on windows 7x64, after run the following code i always get 2009-11-10 23:00:00 +0000 UTC
package main import ( "fmt" "time" ) func main() { fmt.Println(time.Now()) }
i know that go playgroud have this fixed time for one reason, but i don't understand why i get this date in my box
UPDATE: I realized this issue by upgrading the go version from 1.2.2 to 1.3
Trying to reproduce the issue, i realized this had been fixed after switching off and on computer next day.
I recommend to restart the computer after upgrading to 1.3
That time is the fixed time used in the Go Tour as mentioned in the Go Tour limitations
In the playground the time begins at 2009-11-10 23:00:00 UTC (determining the sigificance of this date is an exercise for the reader). This makes it easier to cache programs by giving them deterministic output.
Are you sure you were not running code there? Possibly local version - you can download and run the tour.
I'm unable to reproduce your issue:
C:\gopath\src\timenow>go version go version go1.3 windows/amd64 C:\gopath\src\timenow>go env set GOARCH=amd64 set GOBIN=C:\go\bin set GOCHAR=6 set GOEXE=.exe set GOHOSTARCH=amd64 set GOHOSTOS=windows set GOOS=windows set GOPATH=C:\gopath set GORACE= set GOROOT=C:\go set GOTOOLDIR=C:\go\pkg\tool\windows_amd64 set CC=gcc set GOGCCFLAGS=-m64 -mthreads -fmessage-length=0 set CXX=g++ set CGO_ENABLED=1 C:\gopath\src\timenow>type timenow.go package main import ( "fmt" "time" ) func main() { fmt.Println(time.Now()) } C:\gopath\src\timenow>go run timenow.go 2014-07-02 17:33:20.3270287 -0400 EDT C:\gopath\src\timenow>time The current time is: 17:33:23.60 Enter the new time: C:\gopath\src\timenow>
What output do you get when you run these commands?
