Nodejs does not respect the OS daylight saving schedule

I set my Timezone in the nodejs for America/Sao_paulo. But it does not respect the tables of the operating system.

I use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS + Nodejs V10. The method getTimezoneOffset of Date me returns offset 120 (-2) instead of 180 (-3). How can I fix the problem and do the method getTimeZoneOffset respect the S.O table? Or how can I be setting Timezone manually until I solve the problem.

Example teste.js:

process.env.TZ = 'America/Sao_Paulo';
console.log(new Date().getTimezoneOffset()); // retorna 120 não 180

Node: V10.16.0

  • if you want to increment, I put the following code to temporarily resolve (first line of entrypoint index.js of my project): process.env.TZ = 'America/Fortaleza';

  • Ai is a lot of gambiarra kkkk. If it were GMT-3 still goes.... GMT-3 at least is deterministic (soon more deleting the comment)

  • rss. So I did not find any way to put the GMT-3 in a generic way kkkk also not liked much, but at the moment it is like this until find another solution (then delete also comment kkk)
