      Summary

      Team Calendar is not recording event time correctly for Hong Kong Timezone

      Environment

      Confluence 6.11.2
      Team Calendar 6.0.27

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Install Team Calendar
      2. Add 2 new Calendars with the Time zone set as below respectively:
        • Asia/Kuala Lumpur (+0800)
        • Asia/Hong Kong (+0800)
      3. Add one new Event into each of the calendars with the same date and time
        • For example: 28th March 2019, 8:00 AM
      4. Export both of the Calendars into iCalendar and this will trigger the browser to download an .ics file
      5. View the exported .ics files in a text editor and look for the events created

      Expected Results

      The Events in both calendars are recorded as the same time since both of the calendar's Timezone is in GMT+8 and both places do not observe Daylight Saving

      Actual Results

      The event that is found in Hong Kong timezone's calendar export is off by one hour earlier.

      Hong Kong Timezone Calendar Export
      BEGIN:VEVENT
      DTSTAMP:20190328T005433Z
      DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Hong_Kong:20190328T090000
      DTEND;TZID=Asia/Hong_Kong:20190328T100000
      SUMMARY:HK Time
      CATEGORIES:other
      
      Kuala Lumpur Timezone Calendar Export
      BEGIN:VEVENT
      DTSTAMP:20190328T005424Z
      DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kuala_Lumpur:20190328T080000
      DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kuala_Lumpur:20190328T090000
      SUMMARY:KL Time
      CATEGORIES:other
      

      Information

      Although both of the events will still be displaying correctly within Confluence/Team Calendar itself:

      But if the calendar is being subscribed from an external source such as Google Calendar, the event time will not be displayed correctly because it is off by an hour.

      Workaround

      1. Avoid using Hong Kong Timezone if you need to subscribe the calendar from an external source
