I have the following record on my data base: 

"availability_date" : ISODate("2014-09-29T15:45:00.000Z")

and I trying to get the differences between two datetime like this:

@minutes = (((@date_time.to_time) - (Time.now))/60).round

but the @date_time have the following value and I don't understand why???

"2014-09-29 17:45:00 +0200"

could someone help me please.

Thanks in advance

  • Are you using MongoDB? Can you connect the code between availability_date and @date_time? I assume there is some missing code here. – Arthur Frankel Sep 29 '14 at 14:39

I don't think there is any problem, The datetime in @date_time is the same as in your database. The +0200 at the end means that it is written in a different timezone, here GMT +2, I guess. It is probably the time zone that your computer uses.

What is the result you expect ? Can you give an example ? And be sure to read the answer to In Ruby on Rails, what's the difference between DateTime, Timestamp, Time and Date?

Good luck.

Try to convert them to integer using to_i m this give you the number of seconds in unix time, the n it's probably more easy to do a calculation
