Bug #11673
closedInconsistent timezone behaviour (Time.parse and DateTime.parse)
Description
The source of this bug is here: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/22171#issuecomment-155090007
behaviour between DateTime.parse
and Time.parse
is inconsistent when it comes to parsing ISO8601 without letter "Z"
irb(main):003:0> time = "2015-11-20T03:05:30"
=> "2015-11-20T03:05:30"
irb(main):005:0> Time.parse(time)
=> 2015-11-20 03:05:30 +0800
irb(main):007:0> DateTime.parse(time)
=> #<DateTime: 2015-11-20T03:05:30+00:00 ((2457347j,11130s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>
Time.parse returns time in local timezone, while DateTime.parse
returns it in UTC. According to specification, without letter "Z" in the end, the time should be in local timezone (so Time
class is correct and DateTime
is wrong)
Is this a bug or for some reason this is intended behaviour?

This is expected behavior. Without a timezone offset specified, Time
assumes local time and DateTime
assumes UTC.
