Instance Method Details

#pretty_print(q) ⇒ String

Pretty-prints the DateTime strftime to the given queue in the format dateThrhmmmsss, e.g. 2010-10-10T04h10m30.

Parameters:

• q —

  the print queue

Returns:

• (String) —

  the formatted date and time

Technology idiosyncracy:

• JRuby —

  pp standard libary bug - Printing the formatted date:time string sporadically results in a corrupted line, e.g.:

  at top level in 2010-10-10T00:00:00-07:00 at line 1
  

  The Jinx work-around is to substitute the colons with h, m and s and omit the GMT offset. The bug cause is unknown. Perhaps it is a flaw in the line break logic.
