I am trying to convert a TemporalAccessor to milliseconds unix timestamp but I am getting an error in some cases.
Here is a code sample to reproduce the problem :
DateTimeFormatter formatter = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder()
.appendPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
.appendFraction(ChronoField.MICRO_OF_SECOND, 0, 6, true)
.toFormatter();
TemporalAccessor accessor = formatter.parse("1970-01-01 00:01:00.00");
Instant instant = Instant.from(accessor);
Instant.EPOCH.until(instant, ChronoUnit.MILLIS);
Here is the error I am getting :
Exception in thread "main" java.time.DateTimeException: Unable to obtain Instant from TemporalAccessor: {},ISO resolved to 1970-01-01T00:01 of type java.time.format.Parsed
I am getting this error only with this date format so the problem may come from my DateTimeFormatter (originally i was using an other one way more generic and I am only getting the error for this format).
You need to specify the timezone in your DateTimeFormatter
as follows:
DateTimeFormatter formatter = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder()
.appendPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
.appendFraction(ChronoField.MICRO_OF_SECOND, 0, 6, true)
.toFormatter()
.withZone(ZoneId.systemDefault());
TemporalAccessor accessor = formatter.parse("1970-01-01 00:01:00.00");
Instant instant = Instant.from(accessor);
Instant.EPOCH.until(instant, ChronoUnit.MILLIS);
