I’m having a problem when i try to run some ruby unit tests.

I’m getting the following stack in hudson:

    Rails supports multiple date formats, usually declared in an initializer in initializers/time.rb – for example:

    Date::DATE_FORMATS[:short_date] = "%b %d, %Y"
Date::DATE_FORMATS[:full_date] = "%A, %B %d, %Y"
Time::DATE_FORMATS[:short_slashed] = "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p"
Time::DATE_FORMATS[:short_date] = "%b %d, %Y"

    This allows date.to_s(:short_date) to format the date output. However, your error output indicates that this file has not been read, and as I don’t see any output that indicates rails in your stack trace, I wonder if any rails files at all have been loaded.
