I just upgrade my Tracks from 1.6 to 1.7.

It looks like every thing is OK except the new fuction “recurring_todos”.  Below is the detail error info I got when click the “Recurring_todos” icon. And I’m wondering how to resolve it.

NoMethodError in Recurring_todos#index

Showing app/views/recurring_todos/_recurring_todo_form.erb where line #76 raised:

undefined method `today’ for Time:Class

Extracted source (around line #76):

My Tracks is installed on my laptop running with Windows XP, and I’m using
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i386-mswin32]
mongrel (1.1.5)
mongrel_cluster (1.0.5)
mongrel_service (0.3.4)

I think this problem is similar to this one

My rubygems version is:
rubygems-update (1.3.4)

So, can I “replace the usage of Time.today (was only used at the recurring todos) with regular Time function” by myself. I really don’t know how to.

This is fixed in the upcoming 1.7.1.

Awaiting the release, you could
1) manually change the files
2) install the 1.7.1devel version from github that has several fixes including the Time.today stuff.

Thank you very much Reinier.

It maybe easier to me to manually change the files when waiting the release. But I guess it still takes time to find out how to do it, since I know little about Ruby/ROR.

For github, I know nothing

on github you can donwload the latest dev tree as a zip and just install it like a final release, see the download button on http://github.com/bsag/tracks/tree/1.7_branch

Opps. It’s not easy to me to install a git version.

I download the zip file today, and try upgrading….When I run

I got some errors…
The first error is

I resolved it by install rspec.

The second error is

I can’t resolve it, coz the gem install can’t find a 1.13.6 version actionpack.
And also, the mongrel can’t startup. I have to roll back to 1.7

I changed the file app\views\recurring_todos\_recurring_todo_form.erb
line 76 from

to

It seems working….
Hope this is the only place need to be changed.

yes, I think that is the only one.
