Use Time.zone.now instead of Time.now
Reported by Betelgeuse | July 24th, 2009 @ 03:05 PM | in Hobo 1.0 - Final
Currently the inputs that ship with rapid use Time.now for the default value which means the server clock is used instead of the configured time zone for the application in question. I think it would be better to use Time.zone.now for localized times. If we want to support people not using config.time_zone then we need a fall back as Time.zone does not exist without having migrated to the new time zone support.

If you send a patch, I'll apply it. Otherwise, it probably won't make Hobo 1.0 given the long list of other things we need to do.

If you don't support legacy mode, then it's simply a matter of sed -e "s/Time.now/Time.zone.now/" (and some tests would be nice of course) , would you require legacy support too?

If the user has not defined Time.zone, they should get the same behaviour as before. If they have defined Time.zone, we'll use that. It'll change behaviour on them, but we'll call attention to it in release notes. We're not at 1.0, yet, so changes like this are OK, I think.

- State changed from “new” to “resolved”
- Milestone set to “Hobo 1.0 - Final”
You fixed a bug in my integration tests that I didn't realize I had. :) I'm going to b break my rule and integrate your patch before 0.8.9 rather than after.

It's funny how when reviewing code you read what you expect to see rather than what's actually there. I thought I tested this without a time zone present, but I guess I was mistaken. Thanks for catching this, Iain.

Heh, that's why tests are a good thing. You can stub Time.zone in order to test this. It should return a time zone of your choosing like
ActiveSupport::TimeZone['Helsinki']. We do this in our own tests in order to cover this bug but we don't use hobo with time zones disabled so it wasn't covered. Of course even better would be to make it find out something different from the current time zone.
