我如何在轨道上的红宝石中使用UTC +14：00

Question

I want to use utc+14:00 in my rails app , but

rake time:zones:all

shows up to utc+13:00 only . is there any workaround to use this timezone ?

Answer 1

Rails time zones are a facade around the tzinfo gem , which uses IANA/Olson time zones.

You probably want either the zone "Pacific/Kiritimati" , which is in UTC+14 all year, or perhaps "Pacific/Apia" , which is in UTC+13 most of the year and in UTC+14 for daylight saving time.

Read the bottom of the timezone tag wiki about Rails time zones, then take a look at the mapping constant . You'll see that "Pacific/Apia" is mapped to the Rails name of "Samoa" , but "Pacific/Kiritimati" is not in the map.

The best advice I can offer is to use the TzInfo gem directly, and not use Rails time zone "friendly" names.
