I have an Ecto.DateTime variable
#Ecto.DateTime<2017-03-10 00:00:00>
which I want to format like this:
Timex.format!(my_datetime, "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z", :strftime))
in order to get a time-stamp in this format:
Wed, 02 Oct 2002 08:00:00 EST or Wed, 02 Oct 2002 15:00:00 +0200
But it throws an exception:
argument error
I’ve tried other things but nothing has worked at all.
It’s funny, but this doesn’t throw an exception: Timex.format!(my_datetime, "{D}.{M}.{YYYY} {h24}:{m}") but it’s not what I want.
Where Next?

It looks like you’ll need to convert the Ecto.DateTime to a tuple: timex/docs/Formatting.md at main · bitwalker/timex · GitHub. You can do this conversion with
Ecto.DateTime.dump(datetime): https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Ecto.DateTime.html#dump/1washeku
