Is it possible to make the custom data dir a runtime value? about tz HOT 8 CLOSED

I actually have no experience with builds. What about config/runtime.exs?

from tz.

That won't work because your have the following code directly in the module body:

@custom_data_dir Application.get_env(:tz, :data_dir)

So it is evaluated when the library is compiled, not when runtime is launched.

from tz.

What about changing that line to

defp custom_data_dir() do
  Application.get_env(:tz, :data_dir)
end

from tz.

Yep sure, that would work.

Can you try it out and check if your deployments work with different config? And send a PR?
Or are you certain this will just do?

Sorry we switched to tzdata when we faced that problem, I have currently no app using tz.

This has been added in version 0.21.1.

Note that tzdata has bugs, sometimes may return wrong times or raise errors. That's why I created this library in the first place, I would never have spent months writing it otherwise.

Only tz and time_zone_info output correct times.

Hi,

Yes I know, that is why we used tz and I raised this issue but we needed to configure the custom dir at runtime to work well with our docker deployment. That was for CRON-like jobs, just dealing with 2022+ dates.

I'll try again tz on a future iteration but I honestly don't know when I will work on this project again.
