I seem to be having issues with the accuracy of time.Sleep and time.Ticker.
Running this application below gives me these results: 2017-03-31 17:30:00 +0000 UTC - next tick Expected: 2017-03-31 17:30:00 +0000 UTC Current : 2017-03-31 17:30:02.871095796 +0000 UTC package main import ( "fmt" "time" ) func main() { ct := time.Now() nextTick := time.Date(ct.Year(), ct.Month(), ct.Day(), ct.Hour(), ((ct.Minute()/3)+1)*3, 0, 0, time.Local) fmt.Println(nextTick, "- next tick") diff := nextTick.Sub(time.Now()) time.Sleep(diff) fmt.Printf("Current : %v\n", time.Now()) fmt.Printf("Expected: %v\n", nextTick) } I also opened up a Issue on github relating to the ticker. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19810 I was wondering if anyone else was having issues with these parts of the lib? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
