It will show current time in UTC:-
Time.now.utc
Example:--
1.9.3-p385 :003 > Time.now.utc
=> 2014-04-25 19:29:03 UTC
1.9.3-p385 :004 >
Question
In my fixtures for unit testing, I have something like this:
time: <%= Time.now %>
This will give me the time based on the machine's time zone. I want to get the time in UTC, I tried this:
time: <%= Date.tomorrow.in_time_zone('UTC') %>
It says, in_time_zone is undefined. How can I get the UTC date/time in the fixtures?
Thanks,
Solution

=> 2014-04-25 19:29:03 UTC
1.9.3-p385 :004 >
OTHER TIPS
Try giving like this
<%= Time.now.utc.in_time_zone %>
