Date conversion issue in pipeline

[Zeng, Michael]

So, I am trying to use pipeline to run my test codes, and I am encountering these weird problem that caused some tests failed. 

I have a function that convert string into some 4 or 5 digits number that represent either he day or week. My tests are fine when running locally, however, it returns incorrect values when it is running in the pipeline:

See below example:

// output example from the pipeline:

res = DateHelper("2 weeks of daily data ending 2022-01-30")

exp = {43053, 43054, 43055, 43056, 43057, 43058, 43059,

43060, 43061, 43062, 43063, 43064, 43065, 43066}

self.assertEqual(res.tm_dim_key_days, exp)

res = DateHelper("2 months of weekly data ending 2023-11-10")

exp = {2298, 2299, 2300, 2301, 2302, 2303, 2304, 2305, 2306}

> self.assertEqual(res.tm_dim_key_weeks, exp)

E AssertionError: Items in the first set but not the second:

E 2296

E 2297

```

this is my first post, so please let me know if anything needed to be better clarify or more info is needed. Thanks.

ok, I found the solution. It is about the difference in timezone, and added the below line to my shell script resolved the issue. 

export TZ=America/Chicago
