  • Used Zammad version: 2.6
  • Used Zammad installation source: package
  • Operating system: Debian 9
  • Browser + version: Chrome latest

Expected behavior:

  • Rails and server should report the same timezone

Actual behavior:

  • I’m trying to schedule a job to run one hour ahead but Zammad was scheduling task to next week. So I went:
root@zammad~# date
Thu Oct 18 10:04:53 -03 2018
root@zammad:~#

And

root@zammad:~# zammad run rails r "puts Time.zone.now"
2018-10-18 13:05:49 UTC
root@zammad:~#

I didn’t find mentions about timezone in docs.

So a I added to /opt/zammad/config/application.rb:

config.time_zone = "Brasilia"

And now rails reports the same hour and scheduling works as expected.

Is this the right thing to do?

Thank you

Hello,

We saw the same issue on our setup which makes setting scheduler jobs a bit annoying.
The reported workaround works for us as well, however it would be nice if this could be solved in a cleaner way.

Br,
Nino
