Rails core - Apr 2010 - rails timezone difference in console and production application

Hi all,


I''m on a rails 2.3.5 app. I''ve got my timezone set to
''Brussels'';

config.time_zone = ''Brussels''

When I use mysql I see that a date is stored in UTC (as expected);
e.g. 2010-04-07 15:03:10

When I use console to print out the date it correctly returns;
>> job.created_at.strftime(''%d %b %Y, %H:%M'')
=> "07 Apr 2010, 17:03"

The Time.zone in console returns "Brussels" with an offset of 3600.

However, when I look in my application that same job now has a time of
"07 Apr 2010, 18:03". When I print out the Time.zone in a view I get
"Athens (UTC +2)", adding an extra hour to the job.

We just switched to summer time about a week ago, but I don''t get why
the console and webapplication use different Time.zones, while the
config.time_zone is defined in both environments.


Is someone having the same problems or had the same experience?

If you set Time.zone during a request, you override the default value
set in config.time_zone for the length of that request. This would
explain the difference in Time.zone values between the console and the
browser.

Can you replicate this issue in a bare 2.3.5 app? If so, please file a
bug report with the steps to re-create the issue. Without that,my best
guess is that the issue is in your app code.
