time: ParseDuration does not accept types above hour on Windows

I have a duration flag and when I use any larger type than hour, it will fail.
Looking at the

var durationRE = regexp.MustCompile("^([0-9]+)(y|w|d|h|m|s|ms)$")

it should support days, weeks and years. But it will fail. I tried even 30d0h but even that won't work.

I am running Windows 10x64 and Go 1.9.2

I'm not sure where you're getting the durationRE value from, but time.ParseDuration does not support any unit larger than hours. This is documented:

There is no definition for units of Day or larger to avoid confusion across daylight savings time zone transitions.

Like @bontibon said, this is working as expected. I also don't know where you got that line from - it's never been in the Go tree.

@ivanjaros That isn't from the Go standard library. Open an issue with the 3rd-party library that you're using.

Aaah, I see. I just followed the Flag library for the duration variable and didn't notice there are multiple implementations of ParseDuration. In the core I see that only up to hour values are supported.
