From: hanmac@... Date: 2018-06-21T12:53:22+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:87573] [Ruby trunk Bug#14862] Time.parse does not handle the time zone Issue #14862 has been updated by Hanmac (Hans Mackowiak). Quote: ~~~ %Z - Abbreviated time zone name or similar information. (OS dependent) %Z doesn't identify the timezone. For example, ���CST��� is used at America/Chicago (-06:00), America/Havana (-05:00), Asia/Harbin (+08:00), Australia/Darwin (+09:30) and Australia/Adelaide (+10:30). Also, %Z is highly dependent on the operating system. For example, it may generate a non ASCII string on Japanese Windows. i.e. the result can be different to ���JST���. So the numeric time zone offset, %z, is recommended. ~~~ thats why it seems it can't parse the BST part, i even tried `strptime` ---------------------------------------- Bug #14862: Time.parse does not handle the time zone https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14862#change-72579 * Author: mifrill (Aleksey Strizhak) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: ruby 2.5.0p0 (2017-12-25 revision 61468) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- First I would like to thank you for your work, thank you The point is: ``` Time.parse("Ends from 28 Jun 2018 12:00 BST").zone "MSK" DateTime.parse("Ends from 28 Jun 2018 12:00 BST").zone "+01:00" ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
