Have install Tracks 1.7 on Windows Server 2003 without any problems. Accessing it though the browser on the localhost. Everything seems to be working OK except when I click on the “Manage recurring actions” button. When I do the attached error is displayed. Any idea what is going wrong?

The error is difficult to read, but I think it complains about Time. This is part of ruby. What version of ruby are you using?

I am using Ruby 186-26 and Gems 1.3.2. If I back Gems back down to 1.3.1 recurring actions now work. Ruby Gems 1.3.2 was just released on April 15th so there may be issues with Tracks that had not yet been found.

I’ll look into this. Thanks.

Two things:

This is a bug in Rubygems 1.3.2 on Ruby 1.8.*, not a bug in Tracks.  You can fix it by editing rubygems/specification.rb (wherever that is on your system; I run MacOS so it’s under /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8) and changing the line that contains location_of_caller to instead contain Gem.location_of_caller.

Secondly, the reason for this whole mess is that the function Time.today is provided by Rubygems, not by Ruby, and is being deprecated in Rubygems because Ruby 1.9 added this into the core.

Basically, Tracks needs to implement its own Time.today function, or it will be completely broken when Rubygems 1.4 comes out and doesn’t contain the function at all, instead of containing it with a broken deprecation function.

Also, will comment the same thing on the thread on the ticket.

thanks for the info. I’ve replaced the usage of Time.today (was only used at the recurring todos) with regular Time function.

Reiner: In what version is your change applied?  I am having the same issue on DreamHost using Tracks 1.7stable.  thanks.

it is in 1.7.1devel. This tree still needs to be released (where is the time if you need it ) But you can download it from github if the bug is bugging you…
