Issue with checking time ranges overlapping

Issue: overlaps? method doesn't return expect value.

(start_on.to_i..end_on.to_i).overlaps?(ti.start_time.to_i..ti.end_time.to_i)

It returns false, but should be true.

start_on: 2016-08-19 11:00:00 +0200

end_on: 2016-08-19 12:00:00 +0200

ti.start_time: 2000-01-01 08:00:00 UTC

ti.end_time: 2000-01-01 12:00:00 UTC

Hours like 11:00-12:00 overlaps with 08:00-12:00. Why method returns false? All columns in database are type of time. Current date is caused by Time.parse method.

I suppose that problem is with date second part of times have 2000 year, but first 2016. Anyone know how to fix it?

You can try by getting only time by this strftime("%H:%M"). Result:

(start_on.strftime("%H:%M")..end_on.strftime("%H:%M")).overlaps?(ti.start_time.strftime("%H:%M")..ti.end_time.strftime("%H:%M"))
