I fixed it like this
if ['2.3.5','2.3.6','2.3.7','2.3.8','2.3.9','2.3.11', '2.3.12'].include?(Rails.version.to_s)
require ‘active_record’

module ActiveRecord
module AttributeMethods
module ClassMethods
def create_time_zone_conversion_attribute?(name, column)
time_zone_aware_attributes && !((skip_time_zone_conversion_for_attributes || []).include?(name.to_sym)) && [:datetime, :timestamp].include?(column.type)
end
end
end
end
end

Thanks for the blog post saved me some headbanging too. I’ve upgraded from rails 2.1 and had:
config.time_zone = ‘Wellington’
(I’m in NZ)
Removing that line makes Time.zone.now fail so the following two lines seems to work for and keeps it consistent with the old behaviour

config.time_zone = ‘Wellington’
config.active_record.default_timezone = :utc

oh man, I had no idea why my tests were all of a sudden failing. I was using the console in test mode and didn’t want to have to restart every time i made a change. Thanks SOO much! I spent 2 hours of messing around before i decided to google this

Thanks both (the original poster and Stef) for the solution.

I was headbanging since two hours ago!

I cant thank you enough for this. This was a really nasty one.

Like KendallB – I too was on the verge of downgrading from 2.3.3.
