ZoneId Europe/Berlin NullPointerException


I wrote a DateUtil class that converts java.time.LocalDateTime to java.util.Date and backwards. When trying to get the system-Default TimeZone or a specific TimeZone (Europe/Berlin) I get an exception. I checked that the JVM TimeZone is correctly configured, and it is.

Here is my simple code:

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.util.Date;

public class DateUtil {
    public static Date toDate(LocalDateTime dateTime) {
        System.out.println(System.getProperty("user.timezone"));
        ZoneId zone = ZoneId.of("Europe/Berlin");
        return Date.from(dateTime.atZone(zone).toInstant());
    }

    public static Date toDate(LocalDate date) {
        return Date.from(date.atStartOfDay(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());
    }
}

This is the exception:

Is there some misconfiguration on my computer? Its a Microsoft Surface with Win 10. JVM is RedHat JDK 1.8.0.242


Solution

  • The problem occured when mocking LocalDateTime::now. This results in the exception. I could solve the mocking by injecting a java.time.Clock to the now-Call and returning a fixed clock in the test.
