Problem with date_select after Rails 2.1 upgrade

Rails
1

Folks,

I think I should start a new thread for this, because a similar one I
saw is a bit old and the resolution there doesn’t seem to apply to
what I’m running into now.

Anyway, my date_select calls are bombing on me with the exception:

ActionView::TemplateError (wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)) on
line #8 of entries/_dates_form.haml:
8: = date_select( ‘context’, ‘start_date’, {:start_year =>
2007, :order => [:month, :day, :year], :use_short_month =>
true, :include_blank => false})

vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/date_helper.rb:

655:in select_year' vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/date_helper.rb: 655:insend’
vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/date_helper.rb:
655:in `date_or_time_select’
…

If I dig into DateHelper with the debugger, this appears to be the
line that’s bombing out:

/Users/wgray/Documents/Sources/Rails/tempo/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/
action_view/helpers/date_helper.rb:655
date_or_time_select.insert(0, self.send(“select_#{param}”, datetime,
options_with_prefix(position[param], options.merge(:use_hidden =>
discard[param])), html_options))

(rdb:1) eval self.send(“select_#{param}”, datetime,
options_with_prefix(position[param], options.merge(:use_hidden =>
discard[param])), html_options)
ArgumentError Exception: wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)

I can’t seem to find a way to step into, or down into select_year
without the exception bubbling up on me and ending the investigation.
Using step gets me to the end of otpions_with_prefix, but when I come
back up, I can only seem to execute the send call, which then bombs.
But anyway, my call to date_select is nothing weird, and I have no
plugins over-riding its behavior:

= date_select( 'context', 'start_date', {:start_year =>

2007, :order => [:month, :day, :year], :use_short_month =>
true, :include_blank => false})

Nothing fancy. Anybody know what might have changed since Rails 2.0.2
to cause this?

Regards,
Billy

But are their plugins overriding some other ActionView internals? Just
about everytime someone has had similar problems its always turned out
to be a plugin or monkey patch to some internal function.

So I went looking further, because as you say, that definitely sounds
like the problem.

Aaaand D’OH! We had a monkey patch for select_year at the bottom of
application_helper.rb :wink:

I’ve moved that bad boy over to initializers/date_helper.rb with our
other patches and added the third html_options param, works like a
charm now.

Thanks Frederick!
