Hi,
I have two classes one with activerecord and another with mongoid
class Event < ActiveRecord::Base #has a field date_time of type datetime end class Event2 include Mongoid::Document field :date_time, :type => DateTime end
if I set use_utc:true
Loading development environment (Rails 3.0.5) irb(main):001:0> Time.zone = ActiveSupport::TimeZone["Europe/Berlin"] => (GMT+01:00) Europe/Berlin irb(main):002:0> a = Event.new => #<Event id: nil, date_time: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil> irb(main):003:0> a.date_time = Time.zone.now => Sun, 24 Apr 2011 18:11:51 CEST +02:00 irb(main):004:0> a.date_time => Sun, 24 Apr 2011 18:11:51 CEST +02:00 irb(main):005:0> b = Event2.new => #<Event2 _id: 4db44bde54f71f0dd8000001, _type: nil, date_time: nil> irb(main):006:0> b.date_time = Time.zone.now => Sun, 24 Apr 2011 18:12:22 CEST +02:00 irb(main):007:0> b.date_time => Sun, 24 Apr 2011 16:12:22 +0000
if I set use_utc:false (and server Time.zone = "America/Chicago"):
Loading development environment (Rails 3.0.5) irb(main):001:0> Time.zone = ActiveSupport::TimeZone["Europe/Berlin"] => (GMT+01:00) Europe/Berlin irb(main):002:0> a = Event.new => #<Event id: nil, date_time: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil> irb(main):003:0> a.date_time = Time.zone.now => Sun, 24 Apr 2011 18:18:40 CEST +02:00 irb(main):004:0> a.date_time => Sun, 24 Apr 2011 18:18:40 CEST +02:00 irb(main):005:0> b = Event2.new => #<Event2 _id: 4db44d6a54f71f1ac4000001, _type: nil, date_time: nil> irb(main):006:0> b.date_time = Time.zone.now => Sun, 24 Apr 2011 18:18:59 CEST +02:00 irb(main):007:0> b.date_time => Sun, 24 Apr 2011 11:18:59 -0500
I think that the correct behaviour would be the ActiverRecord: stores as utc but shows in user Time.zone
This cause problems using ActiveView::Helpers like datetime_select.
This happends in 2.0.1 and master
