Golang时间戳解析

Question

I'm trying to parse the timestamp Oct 12 2016 13:59:27 UTC using the following code.

eventDateLayout := "Jan _2 2006 15:04:00 UTC"
eventCheckDate, _ := time.Parse(eventDateLayout,"Oct 12 2016 13:59:27 UTC")
fmt.Println(eventCheckDate)

Result if 0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC which is not the expected.

Can this timestamp parsed with golang time library?

Answer 1

In addition to the incorrect time layout, I'd recommend handling the error instead of throwing it away.

It gives you a helpful error message that you can use to efficiently debug:

cannot parse "27 UTC" as ":00 UTC"

Go playground (note the outputted time will be different)
