The following two snippets are apparenly not equivalent in an ActiveRecord model:
1. expires_at = 90.days.from_now self.remember_token_expires_at = expires_at.localtime
2. self.remember_token_expires_at = 90.days.from_now.localtime
Time.now is stubbed to return Time.parse('Jan 1, 2001'). My system runs on Eastern time. With snippet #1, I see:
UPDATE hark_users SET ... "remember_token_expires_at" = '2001-04-01 05:00:00.000000', ...
With snippet #2:
UPDATE hark_users SET ... "remember_token_expires_at" = '2001-04-01 00:00:00.000000', ...
I am utterly mystified as to how these two snippets are not identical. Anyone have any ideas?
