Hi,

ich watched the tutorial complex forms 3 ([http://railscasts.com/](http://railscasts.com/)  
episodes/75) and included it into my application. everything works  
fine so far but if i want to change

Code : ruby - fold - unfold

1. \<%= f.text\_field :installed\_since%\>

in

Code : ruby - fold - unfold

1. \<%= f.date\_select :installed\_since %\>

it comes to the following error message when i run the function create  
or update:

“We’re sorry, but something went wrong.  
We’ve been notified about this issue and we’ll take a look at it  
shortly.”

I can see the date\_select component and change the date everything is  
fine, just when i hit the button it comes to this wiered message.

can anyone help me ?

where do you see this message?  
it’s what users get to see for EVERY error in production environment.  
how are you developing? on your live server?  
what about development.log, what error message do you see there?

</div>

the message shows up when create or update is excecuted. eg you hit a  
button update then you get to the side with the text “We’re sorry, but  
something went wrong.  
We’ve been notified about this issue and we’ll take a look at it  
shortly.”

the error appeared for the first time and only when date\_select is  
involved. i am just developing on my own machine and i am running the  
developer mode. i could not find anything in the log yet but i am  
still looking.

the question is if i am the only one where this message appears? the  
problem ist date\_select but what is my mistake?
