Regarding “time_difference"

[Giriraj24]

Hi Lee,

I hope you are doing great.

I needed small help regarding: https://rubygems.org/gems/time_difference/versions/0.4.2

I was trying to use “time_difference” in my ruby script, however was getting below error:

ghe_premerge_onboard.rb:47:in block in <main>': uninitialized constant TimeDifference (NameError) from ghe_premerge_onboard.rb:41:ineach'
from ghe_premerge_onboard.rb:41:in `

’

Btw,

I added following require statement in my ruby script:

require ‘time_difference’

But it throws the error for that as well? Is that correct require statement to use it in ruby script?

Also I was trying to use following way:

pom_repo.each do |repos|
commit_date = client.repository("#{orgname}/#{repos}").pushed_at
date_now = Time.now
today_date = date_now.utc
puts TimeDifference.between(commit_date, today_date).in_months
end

Please help

Thanks,
Giriraj

@Giriraj24 Which ruby version you are using? I hope your current execution environment have time_difference installed.

You can check it using

shweta $ gem which time_difference
/home/shweta/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/time_difference-0.4.2/lib/time_difference.rb

I am using ruby version 2.1.2 and I don't see any issue,

2.1.2 :003 >   require 'time_difference'
=> true 
2.1.2 :004 > commit_date = Date.yesterday
=> Sun, 11 Sep 2016 
2.1.2 :005 > date_now = Time.now
 => 2016-09-12 22:31:25 +0530 
2.1.2 :006 > today_date = date_now.utc
=> 2016-09-12 17:01:25 UTC 
2.1.2 :007 > puts TimeDifference.between(commit_date, today_date).in_months
0.06
=> nil

@Giriraj24 I concur with trying out the suggestion from @Shwetakale
To make things cleaner, suggest using https://rvm.io/ and install a clean new version of Ruby
Then install the time_difference gem and require it from there and see if the problem still occur
