Here is the following from my console: >> Time.now => Mon Sep 22 11:33:34 +0200 2008 >> Time.now.utc_offset => 7200 >> TimeZone[Time.now.utc_offset] => #<TimeZone:0x11aea90 @tzinfo=nil, @utc_offset=7200, @name="Athens"> >> Time.now.in_time_zone(TimeZone[Time.now.utc_offset]) => Mon, 22 Sep 2008 12:34:22 EEST +03:00
(I am in Spain - CET - and running on OS X with the correct timezone) The Time.now correctly gives me the time, and the correct UTC offset of 2 hours. It is the summer, so we are 2 hours ahead of UTC. We are still one hour ahead of London, but London itself is an hour ahead as they too switch to a summer time (BST). ruby tells me that my utc_offset is 7200 - which is correct. But... when I pull out the timezone it gives me the wrong one. Athens is 3 hours ahead of UTC, not 2 (at this time of year). So, when I convert a time using the timezone it gives me it is an hour out! I had hoped that time zone woes were behind me after switching to RoR from Java. But it still seems to be a problem. How can I get the correct Time Zone? There is a bug tracked (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4551) but it seems to be set to closed... but it definitely isn't fixed! Right now I am doing this: offset = Time.now.dst? ? 60 : 0 Anyone have any better solutions? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
