Question

I’m quite fresh ruby on rails developer and i’m experiencing some troubles with displaying date_field in user profile edit form. It suddenly stopped working and i can’t debug what’s wrong and why it’s not working. Here is my code:

_form.html.haml

= form_for(@profile) do |f|
  = f.label :dob, 'Date of birth', :class => 'control-label'
  = f.date_select :dob, :start_year => Time.now.year - 50, :end_year => Time.now.year - 5, :include_blank => true

It gives me the following error:

can’t convert Symbol into String

on line 26 which is the one with date_select. I’m getting this error no matter if dob field is empty or not. Have you any idea what am i possibly missing? The strange thing is that it was working yesterday.

maybe a little late, but I found something here:

edit: I had to change date order in locale .yml to

 -    order: [ :year, :month, :day ]
 +    order:
 +      - :year
 +      - :month
 +      - :day
