Autopilot Testcase needed: Check current time

[Nekhelesh Ramananthan]

Autopilot test needed to verify the current local time of the clock.

Howard, I'm removing you as I know your away this month, and not able to complete this work while your gone. If it's still open when you get back feel free to re-assign yourself :-)

[Saurabh Sikka (drsaurabhsikka)]

can we do this?

from datetime import datetime
.
.
.

.
self.assertThat(label.text, Eventually(Equals('datetime.now().time()')))

Are we wanting to test that we apply the proper locale settings (aka the offset from UTC, or something else?)

[Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90)]

The autopilot test is to check if the clock app shows the system time correctly. However while trying to implement the test I ran into a blocker. The problem is that we are unable to retrieve the locale setting used by the clock app for the time. So it could be that the clock app shows time in 24 hrs while the autopilot test expects them in Am/Pm format. This uncertainty is the blocker. I tried temporarily setting a specific format in the clock app so that we could test against it using autopilot, however I was told this is not the right way to go by Renato. Hence this bug has been a TODO since then.

Just updating status to say this is still blocked, and we need something that sets the timeformat. Follow-up with mailing list.
