I have an ActiveRecord model which contains a timestamp field called "remember_token_expires_at". I have Time.now stubbed to return Time.parse("Jan 1, 2001"). When I do: remember_token_expires_at = 90.days.from_now.localtime save! reload I get the expected time in remember_token_expires_at (April 1st, midnight local time). However, when I do: expires_at = 90.days.from_now remember_token_expires_at = expires_at.localtime I instead get April 1st, 5 am! Specifically, remember_token_expires_at_before_type_cast contains "2001-04-01 05:00:00". I''ve looked at time.c and ActiveRecord::base.rb, and I''m stumped. I can''t see how these two cases should differ. According to even their marshal data from _dump, they don''t. Yet they yield different results. What am I missing? I''m using Postgres 8.1, and I am aware of some bugs filed to support time zones, but this shouldn''t be happening even without timezone support. This is just "record changes when saved and reloaded, but only if I initialize it through a temporary variable"...
