I have some controller code that uses the ''httpdate'' method of
a
''created_on'' field from my database. I''m running
Rails on the Edge. My
development environment is Windows XP, my ''production''
environment is
Debian Linux.
When I upgraded my ''production'' machine for the first time in
a month, I
start getting an error that ''httpdate'' is not a method of
''created_on''.
This part of the code is unchanged. This method is defined in
''time.rb''
as part of the Ruby distribution.
If I add "require ''time''" to my controller, all is
well again. I can
find no "require ''time''" line in my vendor Rails
code.
Some questions:
1. Why did my original code work with earlier versions of Edge
Rails?
2. Why did my original code work on Windows but not Linux?
3. Is this a production vs development issue?
4. What else is different that I may not find until I''m in
production?
5. Is it my responsibility to do the "require" here, or is it
reasonable to expect Rails to do this for me?
