When testing two time.Time variables for equality in Go, you may find that there are (ahem) times when you get surprising results if you don't use time.Equal():
package main import ( "fmt" "time" ) func main() { now := time.Now() nowUTC := now.UTC() fmt.Println("now: ", now.Location(), now.Format("15:04")) fmt.Println("nowUTC:", nowUTC.Location(), " ", nowUTC.Format("15:04")) fmt.Println("-----") fmt.Printf("now == nowUTC: %t\n", now == nowUTC) fmt.Printf("now.Equal(nowUTC): %t\n", now.Equal(nowUTC)) } // Output: // now: Local 23:00 // nowUTC: UTC 23:00 // ----- // now == nowUTC: false // now.Equal(nowUTC): true Run it in the Go Playground!
