time not working on i3bar

I tried
tztime local { format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" hide_if_equals_localtime = true } And

tztime la { format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z" timezone = "America/Los-Angeles"

But time doesnt appear on the i3bar. Can anyone help me?

If you run i3status manually in terminal does it show correctly in the terminal? Does it update?
- No
  
  Does it keep running or does it output and then exist straight away? Post us what you see in the terminal.
