I have a time table that stores a time zone. I want to ensure that the value entered is a valid time zone. To do that I have a check constraint that attempts to cast the current time to the submitted tz. When using real tzs like “America/New_York” everything works expected. When I use the fake, “New_York”, tz insert fails as expected but Ecto.Changeset.check_constraint/3 fails to catch the resulting Postgrex.Error.
# Migration
def change do
create table(:times) do
add :time_zone, :string, null: false
end
create constraint(:times, :valid_time_zone, check: "now() at time zone time_zone is not null")
end
# Schema
defmodule MyApp.Time do
use Ecto.Schema
import Ecto.Changeset
schema "times" do
field :time_zone, :string
end
def changeset(time, attrs) do
time
|> cast(attrs, [:time_zone])
|> validate_required([:time_zone])
|> check_constraint(:time_zone, name: :valid_time_zone)
end
end
# Console Error

Why does the check constraint fail here?
How should I handle raw raw Postgrex errors (using try?)
Is there a better way to test for timezone in a check constraint?

You could also write a db function to do the view tz name lookup and use it in the check
