Feature #13822

Time.dst_changes(t=Time.now.year)
Added by opti (Andreas Opti) almost 5 years ago.
Updated over 3 years ago.
Description
output [time1,time2] of daysaving-changes of given year
I assume the result does not depend on timezone,
only the output will be in default timezone.
- Status changed from Open to Feedback
What are time1
and time2
?
If time1
is the time when DST starts at and time2
is the time when it ends at, then time1 >
time2` in the Southern Hemisphere?
And what will return in non-DST timezones?
Usually Ruby itself doesn't have such information by itself.
It just calls localtime(3).
If you want to have information related timezone database, you should use tzinfo.gem.

Is it bug or feature?
Receiving same result for Time.dst? method.
I belive it suppose to base it response on date in variable, correct me if i'm wrong.
Receiving it in Rails 5.1.2, but Time class is in ruby core
gems tzinfo, tzinfo-data are in Gemfile
Time zone configured in rails config:
2.4.3 :001 > Time.zone
=> #<ActiveSupport::TimeZone:0x000055ac84e61410 @name="Eastern Time (US & Canada)", @utc_offset=nil, @tzinfo=#<TZInfo::DataTimezone: America/New_York>>
2.4.3 :013 > t
=> 2018-12-12 10:00:00 -0500
2.4.3 :014 > a
=> 2018-08-01 10:00:00 -0500
2.4.3 :015 > t.dst?
=> false
2.4.3 :016 > a.dst?
=> false
2.4.3 :017 > t.isdst
=> false
2.4.3 :018 > a.isdst
