An addition to Sidetiq to make it easier to declare the worker's schedule's timezone. Assumes ActiveRecord::TimeZone is available.

sidetiq_schedule_time_zone_additions.rb

# Timezone extension to Sidetiq
Sidetiq::Schedulable::ClassMethods.class_eval do
  # Sets the time zone for the recurrence rules.
  #
  # Example:
  #
  #   class MyWorker
  #     include Sidekiq::Worker
  #     include Sidetiq::Schedulable
  #
  #     schedule_time_zone "Australia/Perth"
  #
  #     recurrence do
  #       daily.hour_of_day(13)
  #     end
  #
  #     def perform
  #       puts "It's 1pm in Perth"
  #     end
  #   end
  def schedule_time_zone(time_zone_name)
    zone = ActiveSupport::TimeZone[time_zone_name]

    # We use 2010-1-1 for the start time because that's what Sidetiq uses, and
    # you probably need it to be in the past to do backfilling
    schedule.start_time = zone.local(2010, 1, 1)
  end
end

Sidetiq::Schedule.class_eval do
  # Returns the time_zone for the schedule. Handy in Rspec assertions to
  # verify that a worker's schedule is using the right timezone.
  def time_zone
    start_time.time_zone
  end
end

Used this but it still seems to be scheduling according to the utc time for me

Apparently the update to newer version of ice_cube which allowed us to do this was reverted due to memory leak issue. A note for someone else like me who comes looking here.

@nikhilvij
the version of ice_cube in your fork of sidetiq is 0.12.1, but the latest is 0.13.1.

Which version causes the memory leack?
Is it safe the 0.12.1?

Where would this file go on the rails app? Does it work with sidetiq 0.7.2?
