Observation¶

In the needle interface, e.g. https://openqa.opensuse.org/admin/needles one can observe that all "Last Use" and "Last Match" are at least 2 hours ago. That is, if your browser lives in CE(S)T.
But that is because the server returns the time without a timestamp, and the client thinks it's local time.
You can also go to the last openQA test, https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/4522759#step/dashboard/5 and click on any needle and let you show the needle info by clinking on he little clock icon in the candidates list. You will see UTC timestamps there.

Related to that, on @tinita 's machine t/ui/21-admin-needles.t is failing with this:

ok 4 - Path is fixtures
ok 5 - Name is right
ok 6 - last use is right
not ok 7 - last match is right

#   Failed test 'last match is right'
#   at t/ui/21-admin-needles.t line 76.
#          got: 'about 12 hours ago'
#     expected: 'about 14 hours ago'
ok 8 - Path is fixtures
# more related errors later

Looking at the timestamps in the test data, 14 hours is actually correct. Maybe it also depends on the chromedriver timezone.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: The admin needles table displays durations (e.g. "X minutes ago") correctly (not adding e.g. 2 hours).

Suggestions¶

• Check what has already been done in https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/5964
• The popup in the needle candidates menu should be closed before clicking to close the candidates manu again, because on some developer machines the test mentioned above is failing because the longer timestamp makes the popup too big
