Local fail on master on one of date filter tests

[mgol]

Running grunt test on current master causes the following failure on my machine (a mid-2012 MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.5):

Running "tests:jqlite" (tests) task

The test apparently passes on angular-ci jobs since http://dashboard.angularjs.org doesn't show any errors.

What's wrong?

My locale, if that's relevant:

$ locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

This is likely my fault. Looks like the failing test depends on your timezone. What timezone are you in @mzgol?

[mgol]

@btford I'm in Poland so it's Central European Summer Time (UTC+02:00)

[IgorMinar]

@btford yes. that test bad as it is timezone dependent. could we used TzDate instead?

[IgorMinar]

or write a regexp that is more permissive...

[btford]

Should be fixed in master now @mzgol. Let me know if you still run into the issue.

@btford It doesn't throw an error anymore, thanks!
