Hi, I'm trying to use the ActiveSupport Time extension but running into a bit of trouble with the time zone.
I'd like to test if a user record has expired using the Time .ago method, such as: def expired return true if self.activated < 1.day.ago end Unfortunately I can't seem to use the .ago method in the comparison because it's using UTC time, whereas Time.now has my current time zone (-0700). will$ script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.2) >> Time.now => Thu Jul 30 12:16:30 -0700 2009 >> 1.hour.ago => Thu, 30 Jul 2009 18:16:34 UTC +00:00 I can get around this by using something like "Time.now + 1.day" but I'm interested to know what I'm doing wrong with the .ago method. Maybe there's some sort of time zone setting that I've missed?
