This has to do with how ruby 1.9.x changed the default Date.parse see this sample script:
require 'time' require 'date' r = Date.parse("10/1/2010") puts r.strftime("%a %d %B %Y") ruby-1.9.2-p0 => Sun 10 January 2010 ruby-1.8.7-p302 => Fri 01 October 2010 One solution for Ruby 1.9.2 would be to redefine Date.parse as: class Date def self.parse(input) Date.strptime(input, "%m/%d/%Y") end end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
