I have the following library code: def normal_time_now return DateTime.now.utc if default_timezone == :utc return DateTime.now end This is dependent upon a setting in config/environment.rb # Make Active Record use UTC-base instead of local time config.active_record.default_timezone = :utc I want to test that I get the expected results with the config set to utc and otherwise.

...ve_from <= time_now and (not superseded_after or superseded_after >= time_now )) return false end The error is that the time_now assignment is not testing whether or not the default AR time is utc. The correct code is: def active_row? if self.class.default_timezone == :utc time_now = DateTime.now.utc else time_now = DateTime.now end return true if (effective_from <= time_now and (not superseded_after or superseded_after >= time_now )) return false end My question is: How does one vary...

I''m in the process of upgrading my existing Rails 2.3.8 app to Rails 3.0.3. One problem that I have encountered is how to make rails 3 read/write date/time data into the DB in localtime. In Rails 2.3.8, commenting out the ActiveRecord timezone settings did the trick, however in Rails 3, that doesn''t work as the default is now UTC. I have tried setting the config.time_zone to

Hello all. I am a novice Ruby on Rails programmer, starting my first project using a legacy Oracle 10 database. Using ''reverse_scaffold'' I have created the models/controllers/views for my existing Oracle tables. All seems to work well, using /model/index, /model/show for most of my tables, *except* when one of the tables contains a Oracle ''date'' column, for

I''ve found an issue when trying to use the time_ago_in_words and distance_of_time_in_words from action view''s date_helper.rb Using SQL Server, I have a datetime column that gets returned as: "2007/02/21 09:54:00". When I pass this to time_ago_in_words (which just passes on to distance_of_time_in_words) it miscalculates the difference as "9 hours" (...um yeah,

Hi! I got a class named EinsatzFilter which I serialized to session. Before saving to session it works afterwards I keep getting the message: "undefined method `to_s'' for #<Person:0x38c6ab8>". "Person" is a from ActiveRecord::Base inherited class. Code: class EinsatzFilter include ApplicationHelper attr_reader :personen, :monat, :projekte, :kunde

My environment.rb contains config.time_zone = ''UTC'' If my understanding is correct, rails should assume time values coming from the database are UTC, and since config.time_zone is set to ''UTC'', it should not try to convert the times. Instead, rails is assuming that the db values are Eastern (my local zone) and is incorrectly adding four hours to convert to

...onversion, and have some trouble getting it to work on my Windows machine. Searching the web, I found http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoSetDefaultTimeZone ...which explains how to set the default timezone. I''m using an environment.rb that include the lines: ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone = :utc ENV[''TZ''] = ''US/Eastern'' This works fine on the Unix server running the application (Site5), where Time.now outputs a UTC time, but on the windows machine the ENV[''TZ'']=''UTC'' line is either ignored or doesn''t w...

We have a project that is hosted in one time zone (say, Pacific Daylight Time) but the client wants all time recorded in their time zone (say, Mountain Time). What is the best way to do this?

The environment.rb file in a Rails 2.3.2 app says: > Set Time.zone default to the specified zone and make Active Record auto-convert to this zone. Auto-convert to this zone... when? Also, what are the differences between these two statements? config.time_zone = xxx config.active_record.default_timezone = xxx I ask these questions because I have a scenario whereby an AR-backed object, when issued the "published_at" method yields a date like "Tue Jul 28 17:04:58 UTC 2009". However, when *finding* the object, e.g. Object.first, I get what looks like a UTC date: "2009-07-28...

...ed up a bit of a stumper in which utc_to_local appears to be adjusting the UTC- stored time twice. This is what I''ve done so far: 1. Set ENV[''TZ''] = ''UTC'' in config/environment.rb 2. Uncommented this line in config/environment.rb: config.active_record.default_timezone = :utc 3. Installed the tzinfo gem. 4. Added a require statement for tzinfo into config/environment.rb: require ''tzinfo'' 5. Added a timezone selector to my user account profiles, and a string field in the database to support it. Now this topic deserves a diversion, as the use...
