Can't convert Range in to Integer (Ruby on Rails)

Question

I am using Ruby (1.9.3) and Rails (3.2.2). I have tasks file which contains a bunch of fake data to be populated to my database. Here is some part of the task that I believe is causing the problem ``` #Create random Tender and populate the db 20.times do |n| title = "#{Faker::Company.bs()} tender " company_name = Faker::Company.name opening_date=Time.at(rand * Time.now.to_i) closing_date=Time.at(opening_date + ( 8*7*24*60*60)) #add 8 weeks to the deadline bid_amount= rand(10000..100000) description=Faker::Lorem.paragraph(sentence_count = 3) Tender.create!(title: title, company_name: company_name, opening_date: opening_date, closing_date: closing_date, bid_amount: bid_amount , bid_amount: bid_amount , description: description ) end ``` It works fine with dev but only the above part is not executed on production database. I am using `gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.5'` on dev. and `gem 'pg', '0.12.2'` on production (heroku) When I run ``` git push heroku $ heroku pg:reset SHARED_DATABASE --confirm…

Accepted Answer

Your production ruby version is not 1.9.3. It is probably 1.8.7

```
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [universal-darwin11.0]
$ irb
>> rand(10000..100000)
TypeError: can't convert Range into Integer
    from (irb):1:in `rand'
    from (irb):1
>> exit
$ rvm use 1.9.3
Using /Users/chirantan/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0
$ irb
1.9.3p0 :001 > rand(10000..100000)
 => 37036 
```

Install ruby 1.9.3 on production and the rand method should work as expected.
