…object If we don't match the UTC offset, and the system timezone is not UTC, you end up with the following scenario: = Scenario 1 (correct) Time.now # 2014-08-15 15:30:00 +0100 Time.now.cut_off_time # 2014-08-15 16:00:00 +0100 Time.now.despatch_day # Fri, 15 Aug 2014 = Scenario 2 (incorrect) Time.zone.now # Fri, 15 Aug 2014 15:30:00 BST +01:00 Time.zone.now.cut_off_time # Fri, 15 Aug 2014 16:00:00 BST +01:00 Time.zone.now.despatch_day # Mon, 18 Aug 2014 The incorrect result in Scenario 2 is due to the fact that the ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone class wraps a UTC time object and maintains the timezone data separately. When DateExtension.despatch_day is called in Scenario 2, the context is: self # 2014-08-15 15:30:00 UTC cut_off_time # 2014-08-15 16:00:00 +0100 This comparison is incorrect due to the mismatch in timezones and produces the wrong result. The fix is to construct the cut_off_time based on the timezone of #self.
Switched to fetching the public holidays from the Government API. This ensures that the dates are always up to date and correct (with a server reboot anyhow).

Could the public holiday data be moved to the host app? Fetch the json from the government, store it in config, then define its path in an initializer? If the json was converted to yaml it could then be used for any holiday data. Staff training days can be added etc :) |
