hi.

i think this is an mongoid issue. when i add mongoid timestamps to my model and want to print the created_at timestamp in one of my views, i get the following error:

undefined method `getlocal' for "Wed, 11 Jul 2012 02:39:24 -0400":String

any advice on this?

thanks!

model:

class App

  include Mongoid::Document

  include Mongoid::Timestamps

  field :name, :type => String

  field :bundle, :type => String

  field :license, :type => String

  field :auth_count, :type => Integer

  field :type, :type => Integer, :default => 0

  field :active, :type => Boolean, :default => true

  

  validates_uniqueness_of :name, :case_sensitive => false

  

  belongs_to :user

  has_one :order

end

view code:

<%= @app.created_at %>

It happen to me too during an update flow Rails 3.2.3 --> 3.2.6 / Mongoid 3.0.1 ...
here it is another similar case on stackoverflow

I guess something goes wrong with a mixin somewere :

lsoave@ubuntu:~/rails/github/gitwatcher$ rails c

my offending string is in 28 line @ app/views/shared/_watch-list-table.html.haml which is :

28:           %td= repo.created_at.to_s(:pretty)

and it used working before ...

Yeah I'm still looking into this - created_at should be a Time, not a DateTime, and is defined as such in Mongoid's module.

It's not a mongoid/moped issue, there were a data corruption, probably caused by switching between branches with different mongoid - mongo/moped versions, with the mongodb opened and connected ...

I just dropped the database and mongorestore a backup, to solve the problem.
