Problem Statement/Rationale
Egypt changed their DST rules recently. Node.js is not still including the updated tzdata on version 18.x (the one currently used by mongosh):
https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/47818
the issue then is that mongosh gives the incorrect date if using the Africa/Cairo timezone (as it's not updated for the new DST).
Steps to Reproduce
We used mongosh version 1.9.1
- Set timezone to TZ=Africa/Cairo
- Run the following commands
[root@omserver ~]# mongosh-1.9.1-linux-x64/bin/mongosh Current Mongosh Log ID: 646f8dba9ed9fcd175a23569 Connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?directConnection=true&serverSelectionTimeoutMS=2000&appName=mongosh+1.9.1 Using MongoDB: 6.0.5 Using Mongosh: 1.9.1 For mongosh info see: [https://docs.mongodb.com/mongodb-shell/] ------ The server generated these startup warnings when booting 2023-04-19T13:38:12.863+00:00: Access control is not enabled for the database. Read and write access to data and configuration is unrestricted ------ Enterprise test> Date() Thu May 25 2023 18:33:01 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time) Enterprise test> exit [root@omserver ~]# date Thu May 25 19:33:13 EEST 2023
Expected Results
The date/time returned by mongosh should be the same as the OS one
Actual Results
Dates differ
