Tried that. Does not work. Rails still does the time zone conversion when
persisting to the database.
Example:
class Widget < ActiveRecord::Base
def closed_at=(time)
write_attribute(:closed_at, time)
end
end
in console:
> Time.zone = "Arizona"
=> "Arizona"
> Time.now.in_time_zone("Hawaii")
=> Fri, 19 Oct 2012 06:43:39 HST -10:00
> a = Widget.create({closed_at: Time.now.in_time_zone("Hawaii")})
> a.inspect
=> "#<Widget id: 1, closed_at: "2012-10-19 16:43:48">"
Rails is still doing the time zone conversion.
Maybe there is a different way to override the attribute writer?
