Rails 3.0 Invalid Date Error in Production
yellowreign
I'm using Authlogic with Rails 3.0 and I'm having an issue where my users can't login. I have a customer model and a user model and in production my customer login works, but my user login doesn't (in development both work fine). Someone please help, users generally frown upon not being able to login.
What happens is that when user_sessions tries to save it fails. Specifically, my Heroku logs say:
Started POST "user_sessions"
POST myapp.com/user_sessions
ArgumentError (invalid date)
config/initializers/american_date_monkey_patch.rb:11:in 'to_date'
config/initializers/american_date_monkey_patch.rb:17:in 'fallback_string_to_date'
app/controllers/user_sessions_controller.rb:in 'create'
american_date_monkey_patch.rb
if RUBY_VERSION >= '1.9'
class String
def to_date
if self.blank?
nil
elsif self =~ /(\d{1,2})\/(\d{1,2})\/(\d{4})/
::Date.civil($3.to_i, $1.to_i, $2.to_i)
else
::Date.new(*::Date._parse(self, false).values_at(:year, :mon, :mday))
end
end
end
class ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column
def self.fallback_string_to_date(string)
string.to_date
end
end
end
user_sessions model
class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base
def to_key
new_record? ? nil : [ self.send(self.class.primary_key) ]
end
def persisted?
false
end
end
customer_sessions model (same as above with a different class name)
class CustomerSession < Authlogic::Session::Base
def to_key
new_record? ? nil : [ self.send(self.class.primary_key) ]
end
def persisted?
false
end
end
user_sessions controller
class UserSessionsController < ApplicationController
before_filter :require_no_user, :only => [:new, :create]
before_filter :require_user, :only => :destroy
def new
@user_session = UserSession.new
end
def create
@user_session = UserSession.new(params[:user_session])
if @user_session.save
flash[:notice] = "Login successful!"
redirect_back_or_default community_path
else
render :action => :new
end
end
def destroy
current_user_session.destroy
flash[:notice] = "Logout user successful!"
redirect_back_or_default community_path
end
end
Customer Sessions controller (similar but not identical)
class CustomerSessionsController < ApplicationController
def new
@customer_session = CustomerSession.new
end
def create
@customer_session = CustomerSession.new(params[:customer_session])
if @customer_session.save
flash[:notice] = "Login successful!"
redirect_back_or_default admins_path
else
render :action => :new
end
end
def destroy
current_customer_session.destroy
flash[:notice] = "Logout customer successful!"
redirect_back_or_default admins_path
end
end

When you say it works in development mode is that in the same
environment or are you comparing development on one system with
production on another?

Are you sure you are using the same version of ruby in production and
development? If not then the difference may be whether this code is
getting invoked.

One of the two lines above is failing (not sure which as not sure
which as line 11 (from the error) does not seem to match either of
them exactly. If you still can't work out what is going on then put
some debug in to work it out. See the Rails Guide on debugging for
clues on how to do that.

Sorry, if you are on Windows I can't help. Most Rails developers use
Linux (I use Ubuntu) or Mac. You will have to hope someone here who
uses Windows can help, or alternatively (which would be my suggestion)
set up your machine to dual boot Win and Ubuntu, or run Ubuntu in a
virtual machine using VirtualBox or VMWare.
There is however the question of why you are using
american_date_monkey_patch (which I know nothing about) since it seems
to be that that is causing the problem.
