I have a controller:
class StatsController < ApplicationController
require 'time'
def index
@started = "Thu Feb 04 16:12:09 UTC 2010"
@finished = "Thu Feb 04 16:13:44 UTC 2010"
@duration_time = stats_duration(@started, @finished)
end
private
def stats_duration(started, finished)
time_taken = distance_of_time_in_words(Time.parse(started), Time.parse(finished))
time_taken
end
end
It takes in a start
and end
time and calculates the duration between the times.
When I run this I get the following error:
private method `gsub!' called for Thu Feb 04 16:12:09 UTC 2010:Time
Why is this happenin开发者_运维知识库g?
private method gsub! called when using Time.parse
usually means that you have called parse
with a Time
object rather than a String
so it sounds like your code is actually trying to parse the time twice.
e.g.
>> t = Time.now
=> Fri Feb 05 13:12:17 +0000 2010
>> Time.parse(t)
NoMethodError: private method `gsub!' called for Fri Feb 05 13:12:17 +0000 2010:Time
