Description
Testcases may fail at the end of the month. It is happening because of the testcase’s TZ is might not be in align with the servers timezone.
It is explained below using the testFixedDepositAccountWithPrematureClosureTypeWithdrawal_WITH_HOLD_TAX teastcase
Scenario #1, Tesctase running in UTC, time is 2023.08.31, 08:00 PM, Server is in Asia/Kolkata, so there the time is 2023.09.01 01:30 AM (UTC +5.5)
Fixed Deposit Account will be created with ACTIVATION_DATE = 2023.07.31, (Client time - 1 month)
Then client will trigger the posting of the interest
Server will calculate the interests, there is on 2023-08-01 and another on 2023-09-01
Testcase only expects a single interest in the expense ledger account, but we have two, so it will FAIL.
Scenario #2, Tesctase running in Asia/Kolkata, time is 2023.08.31, 08:00 PM, Server is in Asia/Kolkata, so there the time is 2023.08.31 08:00 PM
Fixed Deposit Account will be created with ACTIVATION_DATE = 2023.07.31, (Client time - 1 month)
Then client will trigger the posting of the interest
Server will calculate a single interest, there is on 2023-08-01
Testcase only expects a single interest and the amount is matching. PASS
Scenario #3, Tesctase running in UTC, time is 2023.09.01 02:00 AM, Server is in Asia/Kolkata, so there the time is 2023.09.01 07:30 AM (UTC +5.5)
Fixed Deposit Account will be created with ACTIVATION_DATE = 2023.08.1, (Client time - 1 month)
Then client will trigger the posting of the interest
Server will calculate the interests, there is on 2023-09-01
Testcase only expects a single interest be there, so it will PASS.
Scenario #4, Tesctase running in Asia/Kolkata, time is 2023.09.01 02:00 AM, Server is in Asia/Kolkata, so there the time is 2023.09.01 02:00 AM
Fixed Deposit Account will be created with ACTIVATION_DATE = 2023.08.1, (Client time - 1 month)
Then client will trigger the posting of the interest
Server will calculate the interests, there is on 2023-09-01
Testcase only expects a single interest be there, so it will PASS.
=> We need to make sure that client is always running using Asia/Kolkata TZ and the clock is in align with the server clock.
=> Server has a default tenant running using Asia/Kolkata TZ
