Bug #11935
Updated by CJKinni (C Kinniburgh) over 8 years ago
When passed invalid data, such as floats and nil values, the Date.new function returns a variety of results that aren't particularly easy to read and understand. The 'undefined method 'div' for nil:NilClass' is particularly unhelpful. ~~~ irb(main):002:0> Date.new(1,nil,1) TypeError: no implicit conversion from nil to integer irb(main):003:0> Date.new(1,1,nil) NoMethodError: undefined method `div' for nil:NilClass irb(main):004:0> Date.new(nil,1,1) NoMethodError: undefined method `<' for nil:NilClass ~~~ I have attached a potential fix. It returns a more consistent set of "invalid day", "invalid month", and "invalid year" argument errors.
