similar to: config.default_timezone vs. config.time_zone

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

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

Friends, So there I was, minding my own business, trying to make my rails app timezone aware (DST, as well), since it''s all about the timing with this one. There are a number of excellent articles that I''ve been working off of, in particular this one internet archived version of Scott Barron''s very useful article on the subject that is no longer available at the

In tracking down a bug in AuthLogic I realized that I had made the same error in one of my libraries. Knowing what the error was made creating a test to expose it (using cucumber) rather trivial. However, it has occurred to me that this sort of issue is far more subtle than I first appreciated. So, I am looking for some opinions on how to test for this sort of thing in a more general sense. At

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

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

Hello everyone, I am using rails 3.2.8. I want to change time zone to New York time. I changed following, but didn''t work #config/application.rb config.time_zone = ''Eastern Time (US & Canada)'' config.active_record.default_timezone = ''Eastern Time (US & Canada)'' If am wrong please clarify. Thank You! -- You received this message

Hi, I''m after a way of ensuring all my Time work (e.g. using Time.now) uses the time zone I define as default. To do this I''ve set the following line in config/environment.rb: config.time_zone = ''Brisbane'' But even after this, if I open up "./script/console" I note that Time.now doesn''t work. That is I see: ?> Time.now => Thu

hey guys, i''ve got a problem and i really don''t know how to solve it. when i''m creating a new dataset in my application, the created_at and updated_at time will be saved in UTF Time (+000). in my environment.rb i set the following line: config.time_zone = ''Berlin'' when i''m using the console (script/console) for reading out some example

Hello guys, I am using ruby 1.9.2-p290 and rails 2.3.11 and when i am trying to run Time.zone in my console it is showing me nil and when i am trying to mention it in the environment.rb file by config.time_zone = ''UTC'' it is showing me an error .rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/rails-2.3.11/lib/initializer.rb:561:in `initialize_time_zone'': Value assigned to

First of all, sorry for the crossposting, but I put this into the Ruby Forum first of all, but was pointed to this as a more appropriate location. I''m using ActiveRecord and ActiveSupport in a non-rails environment to connect to multiple databases, and I''ve found the following (single database) to cause me an error. Note that params is my database settings and omitted 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 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'') =>

There''s got to be an easier way... I am building an event manager and as part of it, the user selects the time zone of the event from a drop-down list using the time_zone_select helper. This is stored in the events table as a string. Because of legacy data which is stored in UTC, I want to keep the dates and times in the table as UTC but when I display it, I want to show the abbreviated
