From d07e2973f12d4f7f95c7b80bb52670a8397d5ee8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: realmpastai-web Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 11:56:06 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] fix: calendar reminder timezone handling Fixes #109 ## Problem The issue was that cron expressions were generated using the server's local timezone (getHours/getMinutes), but the CronJob was scheduled with the event's timezone. This caused a mismatch when events were in different timezones than the server. ## Changes - Added dateToCronExpressionInTimezone() helper function that uses Intl.DateTimeFormat to extract date components in the event's timezone - Updated scheduleEventNotification() to use the timezone-aware function - Added comprehensive tests for timezone handling ## Testing - Before: Event at 1pm Argentina scheduled reminder for 1pm Colombia (2h late) - After: Event at 1pm Argentina correctly schedules reminder for 1pm Argentina /claim #109 --- .../schedule-google-calendar.test.js | 100 ++++++++++++++++++ src/cron/schedule-google-calendar.js | 47 +++++++- 2 files changed, 145 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/cron/__tests__/schedule-google-calendar.test.js diff --git a/src/cron/__tests__/schedule-google-calendar.test.js b/src/cron/__tests__/schedule-google-calendar.test.js new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5f409d9 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/cron/__tests__/schedule-google-calendar.test.js @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +/** + * Tests for timezone-aware cron expression generation + * Issue: Calendar reminder is not taking in consideration the time zone + * https://github.com/TeamNovaSoft/novabot/issues/109 + */ + +/** + * Converts a date to a CRON expression in the specified timezone. + * This ensures the cron expression matches the intended time in the event's timezone, + * preventing timezone offset issues when the server is in a different timezone. + * + * @param {Date} date - The date to convert. + * @param {string} timeZone - The IANA timezone identifier. + * @returns {string} A CRON expression derived from the provided date in the specified timezone. + */ +const dateToCronExpressionInTimezone = (date, timeZone) => { + const options = { + timeZone, + minute: 'numeric', + hour: 'numeric', + day: 'numeric', + month: 'numeric', + year: 'numeric', + hour12: false, + };
