Time from core 2.3.0 vs from stdlib 2.5.3












0















I'm a little confused with Ruby documentation on https://ruby-doc.org/. We can find there Time class as a part of core 2.3.0, where we have 60 functions described, and also Time class as a part of stdlib 2.5.3, where we have only 13. Does these descriptions describe the same class? Are both actual for Ruby 2.5.3? Which of these descriptions should I trust?

    The docs from stdlib are pretty clear: "When 'time' is required, Time is extended with additional methods for parsing and converting Times.". So yes, these are two different things: the core Time class and some add-ons from stdlib.

    Regarding the two versions: ruby-doc.org hosts docs for several Ruby versions. You should probably use the one matching your Ruby version.

There is both a core Time library and a stdlib Time library.



Core one implements the core functionality of Time. Its structures, basic math, time zones, and generic formatting functions. Stdlib adds additional convenience methods for parsing and formatting.



I can only guess why from my own experience with dates and times. There are a lot of date and time formats and they can rapidly bloat out an otherwise simple library both for memory and complexity. I presume the Ruby folks wanted to keep core Time simple and made the extra formatting optional.



Time does have a few formatting functions like asctime, ctime, and strftime. These you get for free from C, and strftime is quite powerful.

  • It is really odd that Time exists by default and require 'time' adds more methods to Time, but that's how it is.

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
