named_scope seems to not work? about timecop HOT 1 CLOSED

@futurechimp, this is a problem that many folks run into. The issue is how your named_scope is being defined. What happens is Date.today is being interpreted when the file is loaded, not when the named_scope is invoked. If you change the named_scope declaration to use a lambda as below, this will all work as expected.

named_scope :for_today, lambda {
  { :include => [:delivery => :delivery_slot],
    :conditions => ['delivery_slots.date = ?', Date.today],
    :order => 'delivery_slots.timeslot' }
}

This is a common mistake many people make when defining named_scopes that depend on time and is not a problem specific to Timecop.
