Time format issue with go language-CodePudding

I am using go 14.4 version and seeing a particular issue when converting time. So I need current time to be converted to this format 2006-01-02T15:04:05Z and using below code

currentTime := time.Now().Format(time.RFC3339)
currentDateTime, _ := time.Parse("2006-01-02T15:04:05Z", currentTime)

But getting output as "0001-01-01 00:00:00 0000 UTC" when running same in go playground getting output as "2009-11-10 23:00:00 0000 UTC"

Any idea on how to fix this?

CodePudding user response：

Firstly don't ignore errors - that is why you are getting a "zero" time - because the time string was not parsed correctly.

Since you are using RFC3339 to format the time string:

currentTime := time.Now().Format(time.RFC3339)

simply use the same format time.RFC3339 to parse it back:

//currentDateTime, err := time.Parse("2006-01-02T15:04:05Z", currentTime) // wrong format
currentDateTime, err := time.Parse(time.RFC3339, currentTime)

if err != nil {
    // handle error
}

FYI heres a list of the time package's format strings.
