Ruby date argument out of range
ruby
Solution
You should use the `DateTime` class instead of `Time`. (You might have to `require 'date'` and install the `activesupport` gem first.)
It is much more versatile than `Time` and does just what you want with `DateTime.civil(2009,9 - 1,-1,0)`.
Passing -1 for the day gives you the date of the last day of the month from the second argument, so you have to subtract 1 from the current month.
If you are in Rails, you could just do `DateTime.civil(2009,9,1,0) - 1.day` and get what you want with more understandable code.
Problem
I'm trying to make a time with Time.local which in my code is dynamic. On the first of each month the values I'm passing are Time.local(2009, 9, -1, 0). In PHP this would set the time to the last day of the previous month. In ruby I just get "ArgumentError: argument out of range". Am I using the wrong method or something? Thanks.
