fast date values for fixtures

Posted in Rails at 05:39 PM by matt

one of my annoyances while porting to rails 2 … and edge has to do with fixtures. they’ve decided to use the rathole plugin . . . but alas i was using the fixture_references plugin, and it seems they do not play nicely together. however, one thing i have learned is that i can do this:

 3.weeks.ago.to_s(:db)
=> "2008-01-11 17:38:26" 
>> (Time.now + 3.weeks).to_s(:db)
=> "2008-02-22 17:38:42" 
>>
