Problems with Runt overlap? but *only* within Rails
- by trisignia
Martin Fowler's Runt library is really handy for date/time comparisons, and this code works great in an irb console:
require 'runt'
include Runt
r_start = PDate.month(2010,12)
r_end = PDate.month(2011,12)
range = DateRange.new(r_start,r_end)
o_start = PDate.month(2010,11)
o_end = PDate.month(2012,2)
o_range = DateRange.new(o_start,o_end)
range.overlap?(o_range)
but if I add the Runt gem to my Rails 2.3.5 app and try to run the same commands in script/console, I get this error:
NoMethodError: undefined method
`to_datetime' for Mon, 01 Nov 2010

`overlap?' from (irb):10
Has anyone encountered this error before, or does anyone know how to begin debugging this? I've tried looking at the spaceship operator in the ActiveSupport calculations module, but I can't figure out how to pick apart the problem.
Thanks very much for your help,
Jacob
