Time.zone=
method RB-W1019Setting the timezone using Time.zone=
should be avoided.
The zone
attribute persists for the rest of the Ruby runtime, potentially causing unexpected behavior at a later time. Using Time.use_zone
ensures the code passed in the block is the only place Time.zone
is affected. It eliminates the possibility of a zone sticking around longer than intended.
Time.zone = 'EST'
Time.use_zone('EST') do
# do something
end
