function UserTimeZoneFunctionalTest::testUserTimeZone

Tests the display of dates and time when user-configurable time zones are set.

File

modules/user/user.test, line 1873

Class

UserTimeZoneFunctionalTest
Tests for user-configurable time zones.

Code

 // creation time. Since we are testing time zones with Daylight Saving
 // Time, and need to future proof against changes to the zoneinfo database,
