Hello,
I''ve some trouble with years.ago I want so use in calendar_date_select
as
described here:
http://code.google.com/p/calendardateselect/wiki/CalendarDateSelectParameters
I wrote:
<%= contact.calendar_date_select :birth_date, {:size => 10, :label
=> ''Birthday'',:year_range => [65.years.ago,
0.years.from_now]} %></td>
But years.ago seems to be bound to the OS''es time-routines, that is
quite
annoying:
eg.
Linux:
ruby script/console
Loading development environment.>> 65.years.ago
=> Mon Jan 11 06:21:12 +0100 1943>>
Windows XP 32-Bit
ruby script/console
Loading development environment.>> 65.years.ago
ArgumentError: time must be positive
from
W:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.4/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb:56:in
`-''
from
W:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.4/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb:56:in
`ago''
from (irb):1>>
Is there a way to work around this issue - MySQL has no trouble saving dates
down to 1000 anno domini....
Thanks,
Keep smiling
yanosz

In windows XP, ruby 1.8.6, recently updated win32 gems, Rails 2.0.2 Rails console:>> 1.years.ago=> Thu Jan 11 13:52:19 +0200 2007>> 65.years.ago=> Mon, 11 Jan 1943 13:52:27 +0200>> Time.now=> Fri Jan 11 13:52:57 +0200 2008 It works for me. The musta fixed it. Try also > gem outdated to get a list of gems that aren''t the most recent. Could be rails, could be the win32 gems, I guess.

65.years.ago brings you well before the generally accepted Epoch of January 1, 1970. Thus the unix timestamp turns negative, and the reason for the error. Not that it''s right to fail that way, however. Also MySQL has its own way of storing dates that doesn''t use the timestamp, at least not obviously, so it doesn''t make sense to compare the two.
