Normally you cd to the right directory
(usually wherever the gem is installed - look at the patchfile, they
normally
contain relative pathnames which should help ) and run

patch < nameofpatchfile

I have to be the dumbest developer ever.

I have downloaded the “patch” utility and am able to use it via the
command line utility. I downloaded the patch that I want
(datetime_select_ignores_discard_year_fix.diff). However when run the
following line:
patch < datetime_select_ignores_discard_year_fix.diff

I receive the error:
patching file ‘date_helper.rb’
Assertion failed: hunk, file patch.c, line 321
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.

I run this command in the following directory:
C:\dev\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\actionpack-1.12.0\lib\action_view\helpers

Horrible…can’t even apply a patch…now THAT’S sad.

Thanks people!

haha! and the baldest… ;)!

patch -R < datetime_select_ignores_discard_year_fix.diff

I ran it using cygwin [on 1.1] and had the same problem… looks like a
version issue. i.e. you aint the dumbest [but I got a few canidates tho]

Just hack the damn file and makes the changes yourself - look at the
file, the - means take that line out, the + means put that line in…
hopefully it’ll be fixed in the next release…
