Redmine

Sorry, either set your RAILS_ENV environment variable to production or run ruby script/rails c --sandbox.

Etienne,

OK, that's it :

[leo@srv-freebsd /usr/local/www/redmine]# ruby script/rails c --sandbox
Loading production environment in sandbox (Rails 3.2.6)
Any modifications you make will be rolled back on exit
irb(main):001:0> Date.today >> 6
NoMethodError: undefined method `-' for true:TrueClass
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-3.2.6/lib/active_support/core_ext/date/calculations.rb:24:in `>>'
from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> quit
(0.2ms) ROLLBACK

Wow, seems to be a new indication about date calculations.
But my skills are again too limited to figure it out alone...

Still in Rails console:

RUBY_VERSION

then

RUBY_VERSION.class

then

RUBY_VERSION < '1.9'

In fact, no need.

This is clearly because RUBY_VERSION is < '1.9' (makes sense since you're running 1.8.7) but ruby stdlib Date#valid_civil? is 1.9, returning a boolean instead of the date or Nil.

Haha, I'm feeling like a blind pilot here :)
There is the requested output.

[root@srv-freebsd /usr/local/www/redmine]# ruby script/rails c --sandbox
Loading production environment in sandbox (Rails 3.2.6)
Any modifications you make will be rolled back on exit
irb(main):001:0> RUBY_VERSION
=> "1.8.7"
irb(main):002:0> RUBY_VERSION.class
=> String
irb(main):003:0> RUBY_VERSION < '1.9'
=> true
irb(main):004:0> quit
(0.1ms) ROLLBACK

Your Ruby 1.8.7 setup is broken maybe because you installed a 1.9 over a 1.8 or something similar (I don't know Freebsd installation mechanisms at all).

Could you run irb -rdate and then Date.valid_civil? 2012, 8, 30, 1 ?

This should return a date but you'll get a =>true instead, which is wrong.

Etienne,

Thanks for pointing out what's wrong about my config.
You're test was quite demonstrative. You were guessing right :

[root@srv-freebsd /usr/local/www/redmine]# irb -rdate
irb(main):001:0> Date.valid_civil? 2012, 8, 30, 1
=> true

When I first installed redmine, I tried to use ruby1.9 because it was the latest version.
But on redmine's website I saw that ruby1.8 was the standard and I downgraded it.
I'll manage to unbroke ruby now.

Merci beaucoup Etienne :)

Etienne,

I owe you and the community a feedback.
I uninstall everything's related to ruby on my system, then installed ruby19 only.
Last time I tried that, I didn't remove ruby18 when installing ruby19, maybe that wasn't correct.

It works like a charm now.
Thank you very much ! :)
